    REST IN PEACE sl1000794

    Think about this, friends. He popped in here Friday for the last time. We all are mere specs in the ever-expanding universe. Spend your time well. Be nice. Smile. Give a loved one a hug. Make a call to a friend you haven't talked to for a while. What you do matters -- to someone. And when...

    More Snow Next Week?

    I was hoping to get out and chase pheasants or take one more stab at filling my archery tag before the season ended. Methinks that's out of the question now...

    More Snow Next Week?

    This shit is going to freeze rock solid. Temps next week are highs below zero.

    Spear fishing for walleye

    I used to spear with my grandpa when I was little. You need to be on a might clear/shallow lake to find good pike spearing where you also see walleyes. Remember, typically walleyes are most active and feed shallower in low-light conditions, which is exactly opposite of what you want when spear...

    Limit lakes for guides?

    Make the perch limit 50 for all I care. I hate them things. But I realize that's not the norm (truthfully, I just don't like cleaning little fish I don't find them worth the hassle). One thing y'all need to consider is a lot of these stocked prairie ponds aren't permanent resources. The G&F...

    More Snow Next Week?

    I noticed what appeared to be fairly significant snowfall projected a week out, but I took it as the proverbial thrown-dart prognostication. Maybe there's more to it...

    Hanging deer - head up or down?

    My dad will come up and help if he's free. I enjoy it a lot. Butchering a deer is a lonely endeavor. It's nice to have him there to package and label, plus help clean up. He's a good beer-fetcher, too!

    Game of Inches

    Aaron I think is getting over some personal things. He got divorced last year. Tried running for some sort of elected position (didn't win) and his upload frequency (which was never that amazing) has tanked. I hope the dude is doing ok mentally and emotionally, because I've always enjoyed his...

    Have you been out ice fishing yet?

    Still many weekends to chase birds. My dogs would never forgive me if I missed a chance to get them out before the season ended. Lots and lots of time to ice fish after Jan. 1...

    Hanging deer - head up or down?

    I was taught to skin a deer by going down the back legs, down the brisket, around the neck and finishing by cutting the head off. Makes for a lot less hair on the meat and with the head off, anything left to drain goes right out the windpipe. And it's easy to hang a deer without a gambrel. You...

    Ole Reliable, Ice Fishing Lure

    The smallest Lindy Rattlin Flyer spoon they make, but with an upsized treble to better hold a minnow head and hook whatever is down there. On my deadstick. for several years now I have used a small gold Kastmaster spoon with the treble removed and and a 3-inch dropper to a plain hook. Super...

    Deer harvest

    Finally punched my antlerless rifle tag Saturday on a fat 1.5 year old doe. Not a ton of meat, but I fried some of the tender bits in butter and S & P for the kiddos and they gave it a resounding two thumbs up. My dad come up to help me butcher it, and I'm confident when I say that no scrap went...

    Last weekend strategies

    I appreciate the help! I'm going to be wheels up at 3 am, will bring plenty of layers, Thermos of coffee, some TP for the inevitable, and will be in the woods well before sunrise. I'll sit that first golden hour, then probably walk sneakily around to see if I can catch a doe unaware.

    That helps a lot. Thanks!

    Last weekend strategies

    Huh...I'm not sure how a comment asking when deer may move on a subzero day would infer I wouldn't go. Merely if it makes sense to get out there an hour before light and potentially freeze my keister off, or if it would be better to hem my chances closer to sunup "given the conditions." I don't...

    Last weekend strategies

    I'm heading out one more time Saturday to try and fill my doe rifle tag. It's a 3 hour drive to my hunting spot in 2H. I was contemplating leaving around 3 to get there well before sunrise, but with the forecasted cold will the deer likely even be moving at first light, or do you think it would...

    SNOW

    Might have been 2 inches of snow in the driveway this morning. Three at most, but not likely. I'm sure glad we dodged the majority of that bullet!

    Deer harvest

    2H was abysmal. At least the public. 10:1 hunter-to-deer ratio. I'm waiting until the last weekend to try one more time. And that's just for a doe.
