2022 Fall Bear Report

In a typical year i begin baiting 2 weeks before the season opens. Typically this means set up around the third week of August. This year things got off to a late start and baits were not set until September 10th. In years when i have more time i will bait off the beaten path at a back lake that is ...

Ticker Test Today

Gave the old ticker a stress test today that i think would satisfy most cardiologists for a guy pushing 60. I'll preface this by saying that my loader is currently in the shop waiting on back ordered parts and normally using it would make this a whole lot easier. Took down a huge poplar that was pos...

Re: O/T #$%* That's Cold!

So how do you enter 40 degree water on purpose? Just wading in would seem brutal. Cannonball? No wading. Just jumped off platform into chest deep. Was a tough mental exercise to keep from hyper ventilating. Wasn't sure i was going to pull it off but persisted and managed - total time in the water w...

O/T #$%* That's Cold!

May 2022 dock launch. Had to move 2 of the 400 lb concrete anchors after the ice moved them 50+feet out of position. Than had to swim out to, dive down to and flip one of them over using a pry bar in the 40 F recently ice covered frigid water. Swam out wearing nothing but a pair of heavy work boots ...

Bring a compass. It's awkward when the GPS batteries die and you have to eat to eat your friends.

Re: Spring crossbow hunt

Nice work!. Hunted blackbuck once about maybe 7 or 8 years ago. They are cagey wary animals for sure.
