WKND ROAD TRIP
Perfect weather and beautiful sceneries are inviting for many road trips in Lakes Country again. We all have probably seen or taken the Scenic Byway Roads in Ottertail County before. If not, go out and explore! I love road trips and whenever I have a chance I go out and drive. It is the feeling of freedom to me when driving while my eyes look into the endless distance of rolling hills, blue sky and water. The area around Vergas where I always begin my road trips is popular for motorcyclist and convertible cruisers but also a great road trip destination for the whole family. Away from digital media and TV entertainment you and your kids can watch wild life and the beauty of nature right in front of you. My son Harry and I go on road trips 2
almost every week and I will share a couple spots which are worth to check out. A Saturday road trip for us usually starts off with a lunch at Loon’s Nest in Vergas. Yes, best burger around and Harry gets extra pickles with it. From there we leave town going West on HWY 4. You pass Loon Lake, Spirit Lake and drive through rolling hills until you reach Crystal Lake and Lake Lida. You pass through both lakes slowly and climb up a little hill which gives you a beautiful view of Lake Lida from the top. After passing Lake Lida you take a left going South on 233rd Ave which merges into 230th Ave and leads onto HWY 108 soon after. Keep going straight ahead South and you are on the most beautiful road in lakes
country I find. The road takes you along the shore on the south side of Lake Lida and you practically drive right between two lakes. The most beautiful views so close to the water! Following a nice curvy drive through trees, rich green and rolling hills you will arrive at the main entrance to Maplewood State Park where you can stop in with the family to explore more of Minnesota and take a little hike after a big lunch. The drive from Vergas only takes 20-30 minutes on that route. After spending the afternoon at the park and hiking the little “mountain” you probably enjoyed incredible views over Lake Lida and South Lida: unwinding, recharging and reconnecting. Maybe you deserve a treat now? We usually continue our trip leaving Maplewood going east on HWY 108 through
another great winding road. We call those Porsche curves in Germany… and they are fun. When successfully passing through that stretch you arrive at the north west corner of Star Lake shortly after. On the corner of HWY 108 and HWY 41 there is a colorful building with a patio in front to your right. Stop there and visit DuCharme’s Corner Store for ice cream and a break. When you are finished with the ice cream I believe you are ready to head home for dinner or a BBQ some place. The whole trip with lunch and hiking probably takes 5 hours. If you follow 108 east you come to 85 going north which will lead you right onto HWY 35 which winds back to Vergas. You should find home from there again. Try this sometime #getoutandexplore

JCR LAND CO. HUNTING LAND & ACREAGE
BY MIKE BROWN
▐
SUMMER PREPARATION AND ANTICIPATION
Hunting deer truly is a year round sport. We all look forward to opening day of archery season in September, followed by the much anticipated rut and firearms season of November. However, to be a successful deer hunter, a lot more time and effort go into the hunt. Soon after the snow melts in the spring, it’s time to hit the woods, not just Turkey hunting, but also preparing for the upcoming deer season. Taking the time to scout your property in the spring will give you an idea of where those bucks traveled last fall. Rubs, scrapes and trails will be easily visible before the vegetation starts to green up. This is also a good time to locate potential stand sites, making notes of stand locations in relation to deer sign and best possible wind directions for hunting that stand. This time of year, if you’re 32
lucky, you might even stumble across a shed antler! Using the information you gathered from your scouting, summer is the time for stand preparation. I prefer to have my stands placed and shooting lanes cleared by mid to late summer. This gives the deer a chance to become accustomed to the stand and any clearing of vegetation you may have done. Summer is also a great time to start putting up trail cameras. Place cameras on trails leading from bedding to feeding areas. The edges of food and cover are also great areas to capture deer movement. Bucks will start new antler growth as early as May, but July and August is when you will start seeing bucks with fully developed antlers.

I’m always like a kid on Christmas morning waiting to open presents, when I check my trail cameras, you never know what is going to be on the card! Trail cameras are a great tool to help you determine which bucks you would like to target come fall. I also place mineral sites on my property. Establishing sites early in the spring will give deer additional nutritional supplements needed after coming off winter and
assist with fetal development, lactation, antler growth and making an overall healthier deer herd. Mineral sites are a great place to put up a trail camera as well. Everyone loves summer, nice weather, vacations, lake life, but if you’re a deer hunter, it’s a time of preparation and anticipation of what’s to come this fall!

MEET MIKE BROWN
Like most hunters, Mike Brown started hunting at the young age of 12. His passion for wildlife and the outdoors stayed with him growing up, and eventually led him to his career choice. He grew to become an expert on land properties by actively obtaining his degree in Wildlife Management and bachelors in Wildlife and Fishery Science. Before making Real Estate sales his full time occupation, Mike served as a fire fighter for 18 years. During this time, he took an active role with the non-profit advising land owners on how to manage their property, whether for wildlife conservation or investment. He also led several youth hunts to engage the younger generation of hunters, and taught them valuable knowledge of hunting, conservation and the importance of both. Mike has had the opportunity to hunt and work with conservationists in multiple states, but says nothing compares to hunting on your own land. His career paths have ingrained him with hard work ethic and drive to complete all tasks to his greatest ability. Working now as a land expert, his experience makes him an accountable resource when buying or selling real property locally.
