Re: Widow Maker
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...

Which current model?
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'...

Widow Maker
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...

Hardwater Chaos and PB Northern
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...

Re: Bleeding fish
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 ...

Smoke em!
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 ...

Re: Hunt 2023
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 ...

O/T the power of social media - sometimes a good thing
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. ...

Re: O/T - Hardwater Fix
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...

Re: O/T - Hardwater Fix
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...

O/T - Hardwater Fix
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...
