As fall creeps in again, the big question for sportsman is whether to hit the water, the fields or the woods in early November. For those of us who own boats and never had the good fortune of going out fishing that much this past summer, the thought of pulling in a hog of a musky can tend to sway your decision towards fishing rather than hunting. For those who have only a couple of weekends a year to finally get out there and hunt for whitetails, the decision is pretty clear. For me, I wrestle with this decision annually. I belong to a hunt club based out of North Dakota, the waterfowl field hunting mecca, and I seriously love to lay down and shoot snows and canadas and ducks, so my decision for 2011 is made up. I'm going to N.D. after missing a season last year due to hunting Whtietails.

For the avid musky fisherman, the Northwoods lakes are the place to be when November 1st rolls around. For the Whitetail Deer Hunter, the leafless boreal forests are the playground for us. 

Whatever your pleasure, as the High School football games head towards playoffs and the leaves are almost all gone, pick wisely and have fun!!
