The blogosphere never ceases to amaze me. The MNRiverdageous Lunkerdooress Hydra had a lot of fun getting together our scavenger hunt. But it was much better received than I expected. We got a lot of comments about how fun it was. We’re glad you enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed creating it. Here are the answers to the 5 questions: Journal of a Minnesota Angler: Q: “In which of my top adventures of 2010 did I catch my personal best largemouth bass?” A: #2 (Also accepted answers...

When I started blogging almost 2 years ago, I thought I would be writing in a silo. I knew other bloggers were out there, but I did not expect to interact with them. Nor did I expect that they would welcome me to their community so openly. Because of this, I feel a responsibility to read and comment on blogs within that community. As such, I started a blogroll of blogs I thought were interesting. Along the way, I picked up an RSS reader and expanded my subscriptions to more than 90. I stopped... (more...)
So it’s the day after Christmas. I bet you didn’t get the Sportsman Channel baseball cap that you really wanted. Instead, your loved ones took the ridiculous advice of a know-it-all blogger and got you a useless gift card to BassProShops instead. What good is that? You can’t buy a Sportsman Channel hat with that. Well, I’m here to your rescue! I wasn’t able to give away this baseball cap in my previous contest, but I can give it away in its own contest. Of course,... (more...)
And the winner is… Bob Benditzky Random.org picked comment #1. That almost never happens. From the comment, I can’t really tell if Bob wants a new hat, but it’s his if he wants it. If not, I’ll choose another winner. I want to thank everyone for RTing my tweets over the last week. A lot more people tweeted the contest than entered, so either I didn’t explain the rules well enough, or tweeters were just generously tweeting without caring if they won the hat. If... (more...)
Over the last year, since I met Michelle Scheuermann from the Sportsman Channel at Hunt.Fish.Feed., she’s been incredibly generous with Sportsman Channel swag. Some of it has been really useful, others not so much. But while some swag isn’t useful to me, I’m sure it would be useful to someone else. For instance, Michelle sent me this really cool blaze orange hunting cap by Dri-Duck. While I love baseball caps (I wear them constantly), I have too many. My wife is continuously... (more...)
As I mentioned in my review, the fine folks at SmarShield Sunscreen are providing a free bottle of sunscreen lotion to one of my lucky readers. They left the contest up to me and I’ve been trying to think of a clever contest to give it away. But then I realized I was overthinking it. So here is the only rule: You get one entry into the contest for every mention of this contest on the web. That includes Twitter, Facebook, your own blog, forums, and whatever else you can think of. For each... (more...)
