Late-season hunting plus ice, ice baby! 

What a wonderful fall it has been in the BLA. Winter is now upon us! Fresh ice is being made daily.

Haven’t filled your deer tag yet? No worries! Muzzleloader season goes until December 10th and archery until the 31st! Plenty of grouse hunting season left as well! Late season is some of the best hunting in my opinion. Those food plots and grain fields are the ticket. Some Does are even going into heat during this time as well. Cooler temps have the deer preparing for winter and bucks recovering after the rut. Get the buddy heater fired up and get out there!

Ice fishing season is here! Many lakes in the area have between 3-5 inches. Ice fishing has started. Early ice= extra caution. Be sure to check with locals and local bait shoes on ice conditions before wandering out. During early hard water season I am a huge fan of fishing aggressively with jigging spoons and ripping raps!
