Good advice. I love being able to harvest things nature provides. Some are very good, some ok, and some not worth bothering with.

Giants are easily identified.

Got out for a hunt in the snow this morning. Not much activity but interesting to experience the snowy river.

After helping others take a couple doe off the property and not having much daytime trail cam activity I finally had a buck dogging a doe last evening. Was a long poke for me at 300 yards but he dropped in his tracks. Had several trail cam pics of him.

Set out to perch fish but after a slow morning decided to give the pike a try. My wife hooked this one on a jig her first cast and her sister di a great job of landing it. 32”

Let a spike go this morning. He was scent marking on brush up through the field. Even stood up on hind legs a few times to reach up higher. Tonight I had several does and fawns out in the field. The photo through the scope was very difficult to take.

Scouting and work paid off for opening weekend of Muzzleloader. I shot a doe first evening and more importantly got my sister in law one the second morning. Only her second deer.Now I have some meat I will be looking for a good buck. My shot looks like it was back but that’s the exit. Bullet entered farther forward so both were good shots. Now I’ll be looking for a good buck and will try to get my wife and son one.

Still getting plenty of photos but bucks are all at night. Tomorrow muzzleloader opens.

A couple views from a tree stand.

Grady 95, Great information. I tried the tooling pin but had better luck pushing down with the heel of my hand to flatten. It worked well. I was fortunate that both of mine had the solid thump and were good.

I was able to get a couple puffballs. My favorite way of preparation is dredge in egg, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper and fri in a pan spayed with Pam. After flipping I put on thin layer of spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle of parmigiana cheese. Puff ball tends to have little flavor and this gives it a pizza like twist. Also since very little egg sticks and almost no oil is used it is low calorie and healthy.

I ground a bunch of turkey and goose thighs I’ve been saving. It is more time consuming than just breasting a bird but I hate to waste anything and it is very tasty.

A few more trail cams.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to hunt the early goose season but did head to Canada yesterday for the opener of ducks. It was a bluebird day but we managed to get a mixed bag.

More trail cam photos

After taking a limit of walleyes and releasing several more I was able to take down a couple gees.

Checked the trail cams I put up and had deer on all 5 and turkey on most. Had 2 bucks.

I’ve been working hard the past week setting up ladder stands and pop up blinds in anticipation for the upcoming deer season. It’s always good to get things done early so things settle down by opening day. I did lots of chainsaw work cutting shooting lanes and am very happy with my results. I just set out 5 trail cams for some intell before the final tweaking of my stands. I saw my first buck rub today so I’m excited to check trail cams latter this week. I will also be glassing fields to try to help pattern deer movement.

Got a former student his personal best with our limit tonight.

Give me a shout if you want to meet for coffee

Another antler and fin dinner followed by an evening on the river. This time with my brother and sister in law David and Deborah Smith. Same results as last night but a couple bigger fish.

Got together with My wife’s cousin Carol and Dick Beaulieu for an antler and fin dinner followed by a night out on the river.
