Back 40 prostaffer Kevin Biermeier and friend Alan Miller recently put a hurting on some carp in an open hole on a local river.  The carp congregated where they could find a little swimming room, and Kev and Alan were there for the party!  In Kevin’s words “We went to a secret honey hole and in a little over 2 hours the two of us shot another 70 fish.  We took on some new tactics as you can see in the photos.  I hate to think how many fish we would kill if we shot seriously for two hours.  Can’t wait to get the boat out and shoot some under the lights after ice out”.

Sept. 3rd found some of us at Back 40 heading west on I-94 with dreams of chasing some bucks in the Badlands. After the 10 hour drive from my house, and the 12-14 hour drive for my counterparts in Central WI, we were ready to get out of the trucks and do some hunting.

On opening day, hunting doesn’t actually begin until 12:00 pm, so we had time to get our gear sorted out and be out glassing soon after sun up. Jerod and I headed north as Kevin, Ryan and Matt, (AKA Anthrax) all headed south. We soon had deer in the glass, but nothing we pinned our hopes on.
