Boy, that is a chuck of wood. More tools and less muscle would work of me. Did you ever get around to counting the rings? Did not count the rings but guessing +/- 100 years. Edit - Actually just looked at one of the pics of the rounds and anywhere from 8 to 20 rings per inch of diameter. So assumin...

So in the market for a new bow. What i want is the most reliable and accurate model currently on the market. Price is not a concern. Speed is not really a factor as they are all fast enough. That being said all else equal i would chose a faster bow if accuracy and reliability are not a concern. Let'...

Spent 10 hours today dealing with a widowmaker that's been on my list for a long time. Finally managed to free up my company backhoe for a weekend. No way i wanted to tackle this sucker without it. Tree in question was an oak with pronounced lean over my driveway and a "V" base that was co...

Yes Sir! I just looked at the weather forecast for the next 10 days. None under a 100 for highs. Lows in the 80's!! I'm ready for another Ice Age!!! :eusa-doh: 45 F on my front porch thermometer right now. Warmest daytime high that is forecast for the next 14 days is a sweltering 75 F. Not been a h...

Congrats on a great bear Mike!

Stopped using photobucket as soon as they announced pay to play. Been using Flickr with no problem ever since:

Friday lunch time myself, my nephew and brother in-law and another buddy took a road trip to Abitibi for the weekend. We fished Saturday and Sunday and went in on the Munro Lake Road. The road ended up being drifted in resulting in an 18 km sled ride into the lake instead of the normal 8 km. Saturda...

Do you bleed fish when you catch them? Does it truly make a difference, or is it another fad? Never even heard of bleeding fish. When i clean them i just make sure i pop the blood cavity along the spine and rinse the blood out. Been doing it that way for 45 years and they all taste good! Walleye i ...

So the original plan was to head up to my place with a couple buddies and fish the last 2 days of the Nipissing Walleye Season (Closed March 15th). Well sometimes #$@% happens. Unfortunately one buddy had a serious family emergency and had to cancel. Than yours truly got #$%^&'d by the province ...

I'll be ice fishing until mid-April. Than 2 weeks after that it's spring bear. I'll start worrying about deer about the first week of June. That will last until mid-August. Than switch back to bear until mid September. Than a nice focused few months on deer. Food plot wise i will probably just keep ...

Was doing rounds this afternoon at the various water treatment plants that my company operates and had the door open on one of the plants as i was moving chemicals into the building. Well in walks a hound. Beautiful female with a GPS collar but no other tags. This is in the middle of a subdivision. ...

Aren't they ashamed!? What young people read to us!! :mrgreen: https://i.ibb.co/HPsXPgh/molesto-enojado.gif I agree they are a terrible influence. But so am I... so it works well. Cheers! https://i.imgur.com/WtBsVLi.jpeg Can't beat Woodford on the rocks! :) Well can't say Woodford on the rocks is w...

Do you have smallmouth bass in Spain? Not!! I have expressed myself badly, I was not very sure what you call him there, I thought he was a smallmouth, but looking on the internet he is not the smallmouth. Specifically, this is what we have: https://i.ibb.co/02FxZ9H/IMG-20140920-WA0010.jpg Apart fro...

You didn't get bored!! I have never fished on ice, this way of fishing has always seemed curious to me. What do you do jigging with? with jigs like those of the sea? spoons? vinyls? How delicious are the walleyes!! I never got to enjoy the pike, a strange taste for my palate. How did you cook it th...

Nip opened on the 1st of January for ice fishing but due to the weather was only suitable for walk-on. I like to fish the south shore and there is no way to walk as the areas i hit are 10 to 20 miles from the nearest access at Wade's Landing on Fish Bay at the bottom of South Bay. So decided to give...
