“Personal Best!” (Archery)
It was mid-afternoon, the day before opening rifle season, when Rick connected with a nice 6-point buck. At deer camp, everyone was anxious for Saturday’s morning hunt. Congratulations Rick!

“Not Your Typical Day!”
I received Brian’s call Monday. A tall 11-point rack was not typical, nor was the 60-degree weather! I was asleep in my stand when this deer was harvested.

I’ve never been Blueberry picking, but after my experience Morel Mushroom hunting this year, I feel compelled to search for this allusive—all [...]

“No one deserves it more!”
Our esteemed fishing buddy and this years 2009 Eelpout King showed off his talents, once again, with this 15-pound song-of-a-catfish. Eye witnesses to the event commented that landing this fish and beaching the boat on a mid-river sandbar, could have been handled better with a net! Do I see a pattern [...]

Continually renting from an outfitter is like golfing with rental clubs. It’s OK the first few times, but you end up needing your own custom gear selected for your own needs. The first – and arguably most important – piece of equipment is the canoe [...]

Two Northerns On One Line
I felt a bite – or so I thought? I was reeling, when the line pulled tight. I jerked on the line, “I’m snagged,” I called out. As we prepared to backup the canoe, I felt
a tug. “Wait! —No? It’s two fish and boy is he big! Get the camera!,” I [...]

Well, It’s that time again! I just got back from scouting to see if the lake ice has gone out and it has! Most of the ice and snow is now in the middle of the lake. This is the best time to fish spring crappies!

It was a picture perfect day! We had fresh snow on the ground as it continued to season us all afternoon.
We started near our home, where I knew there would be at least one bird— if not more. As long as the area had not been hunted too badly, we should have some good action!
