  4. Interesting fishing trip after turkey hunting today. Targeted tiger muskies in creeks, ended up seeing 5 tigers, missed 2, landed one. Also, while I was walking past a big log jam in the river I noticed what looked like a time sticking out of the water. I prodded it and realized it was a dead buck. I went back to the truck, got some Paracord and attached a noose to it and with a long pile and standing on a log over 6' of water I was able to pull it out! Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

  5. If they can fly up to a limb, they must be close to 2 weeks old...That is a big milestone...When they can start roosting in trees instead of on the ground, their survivability increases exponentially..It also means they have feathers rather then down, which helps them survive wet/cool weather...

  12. Made a run to the Beaverkill today. After the 1:45 drive I realized my wading boots are sitting in my driveway still caked with West Branch muck!!! Who knew sneakers could work over waders?!? Caddis , huge March browns and some light mayfly(maybe Hendrickson) were all sporadic and rises were limited. I managed 2 12” browns, 2 suckers(on dries ?!?) and a great brown that spit the hook after I missed with the net. He ran me off twice after coming within net range. I was expecting a better hatch with the weather but was happy that whenever a fish showed itself I was able to either hook it, catch it or at least get a strike. They were quite gettable when they showed themselves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Buy yourself a cheap 9 foot tapered leader and cut 2 or three feet off the tapered end...That should be stiff and heavy enough to turn over heavy streamers and bass bugs....If not, shorten it up a little more.. Time for a true Pygmy story...I was up in NWT, Canada on a caribou hunt...There was a channel about 100 yards long of fast water between two lakes..It was full of arctic grayling, and it was hard to make a drift with a dry fly WITHOUT getting a rise....Lots of fish in the 16" to 18" range and a few bigger.. However, several times I was playing a grayling and a lake trout would come up off the bottom( the water was only 3 or 4 feet deep ) and CRUSH the grayling, breaking my leader....After this happened 3 or 4 times, I cut my leader back to about 4 feet ( probably about 20 lb. test) and put on a big pink tandem streamer that I had brought to try to catch pike on my fly rod...About my second cast,,a huge laker took the streamer..I estimated him at about 15 pounds and released him...I proceed to work the rest of the 100 yards of fast water between the lakes and caught a total of 18 lake trout in less than 2 hours... Lots of boulders and pocket water...It was like fishing an Adirondack stream except I was catching 5-10 pound lake trout rather than 10 inch brookies...True story....Little Marten Lake, NWT Sept 1994...BTW..It was also the most awesome caribou hunting I ever experienced.....

  20. Walked out to the car to go to work and there's a longbeard 30 yards away in the back yard talking to our chickens. Figures. Blew out of there before I could snap a pic. Probably good that it flew off as it was 60 yards from that fox den.

  28. Yup. I believe they take an average and then all or none of your "party" gets tags. On July 1 i'll be buying my 7th for elk, 6th for deer, and 6th for lope. separately, there is the super tag raffles where if you win you get to hunt that particularly species in any unit and at any time. Monsters are killed.

  32. Sorry I haven't been on in quite some time. Sometimes life gets in the way lol. I will update this with pics a little later. The kitchen addition came out better than expected. The new refrigerator and solar system is working and the 12v lighting is blessing. We will be adding a covered entrance way and deck this summer.

  33. As an aside to Tracker...The streamers I had were Wally Allen type woodchucks.....Tied by Doug Stowell SR...Don't know if you knew him, but you may very well know his son... When we flew into camp, we talked to the guys who had been in there the week ahead of us...One nice old gent happened to be the owner of the Colorado Rockies baseball team, and he was a fly fisherman...I asked him what patterns the grayling hit, and he told me it would be a challenge to find a dry fly that they WOULDN'T hit...He was right...They hit anything that remotely resembled a bug...The only fly I tried that I did not get a hit on was a green inchworm....But then I only tried it for about 5 casts...When you are catching fish on nearly every cast, it's tough to stick with something that isn't working....Hehehe..

  34. A few years ago I attended a workshop at hanging bog on creating habitat for grouse. Early succesional habitat creation was at its core. Block clear cutting, and aspen management were highly stressed . Grouse use Aspen as a main food source for most of the year winter and spring, with apple ,and others used in fall. Accessibility to buds is priority. As aspen mature they grow out of reach of grouse and deer , many of you have heard how a deer need food access from 0 to 8ft and think yep I plant food plots.... grouse are not plot eaters so having similar needs from 0 to 15 ft or so you need to create food. The bonus of managing for grouse is it also puts all the same preferred food in the browse area for deer ( bonus 2 for one) Cutting large Aspen close to the ground will cause them to clone from their root systems, rapid vigorous regrowth will result in a boom of easily accessible food for both game species( you can include rabbit here as well) I could write pages on this but I have found the study they printed out for us on line. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://dspace.sunyconnect.suny.edu/bitstream/handle/1951/69797/0-Assessing_the_Quality_of_Ruffed_Grouse_.pdf%3Fsequence%3D2%26isAllowed%3Dy&ved=2ahUKEwj3-rDt3dPpAhWtknIEHTO9DWkQFjABegQIDRAI&usg=AOvVaw0uKEUzwhcbJXOZr6yYLHfd Grouse are threatened and we may lose them as a game species if not helped. Before you cut and create a foodplot you may want to consider creating grouse habitat as it works for all game.species , deer,turkey, rabbit,grouse, songbirds, woodcock ,and numerous other species. Remember deer are browsers 1st not grazers , food plots are nice but natural early succesional habitat plays a vital role ,by simply adding a few conifers,and soft and hard mast trees/shrubs to an Aspen cut you create and benefit so many more species, it will be thick and guarentee you will see an increase in all game on your property, much more rapidly than with a simple food plot source.

  38. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo took in $2.3 million in campaign cash from the hospital and nursing home industry before signing legislation to provide legal immunity to healthcare executives in the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report. Cuomo quietly signed legislation last month shielding hospital and nursing home executives from the threat of lawsuits stemming from the pandemic, in a provision inserted into the annual budget, the Guardian reported. It comes as Cuomo faces mounting criticism over the state’s staggering coronavirus death toll in nursing homes, which at more than 5,800 fatalities make up nearly a fifth of the state’s deaths. The Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), a lobbying group for hospital systems including some that own nursing homes, bragged in a press release that it ‘drafted and aggressively advocated for’ the immunity provision. The bill grants qualified immunity to hospitals, nursing homes, administrators, board members, physicians, nurses, and many other providers from civil and criminal liability arising from decisions, acts, and omissions occurring from the beginning of the Governor’s emergency declaration on March 7 through its expiration, and covers liability stemming from the care of individuals with and without COVID-19. The immunity will not apply to intentional criminal misconduct, gross negligence, and other such acts but makes clear that acts, omissions, and decisions resulting from a resource or staffing shortage will be covered. The immunity will apply where the liability arises from harm or damages in connection with providing treatment that was impacted by a facility’s or professional’s decisions or activities in response to or as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and in support of the State’s directives. Sure seems like a sweet deal for the hospital and nursing home executives. Look at what a good deal they got for a mere $2.3 million in campaign cash! Perhaps it’s far easier and less expensive to buy politicians to get “favors” than it is to actually create something or try and compete fairly. The more we learn about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo the worse it looks for him. Advertisement - story continues below

  40. Did you hear about this from the media? It's a gaddam shame they protect terrorists while ignoring heroes! May 24 at 8:44 AM · "According to the FBI, the incredible acts of heroism at Naval Air Station Corpus Cristi, TX by this Military Policewoman (Master at Arms) guarding the entrance to the base, saved many lives last week. This active duty U.S. Navy Sailor at the Ocean Drive gate has probably checked thousands of IDs and allowed access to thousands of authorized people at NAS Corpus Christi while standing the watch. But on the morning of May 21st, at barely the first light of day, a terrorist tried to get past her. That terrorist, Adam Salem Alsahli (a Syrian born U.S. citizen), picked the wrong gate guard to try to get past. He must’ve thought that all he would have to do is lift the pistol off of his lap, point it at the gate guard (while she looked him in the face) shoot her point blank in the chest and then be able to drive on to the base and use his assault rifle and shotgun to kill as many people as he could. He sure was wrong! She took the bullet dead center in her chest, but that happens to be the area of the bullet resistant Kevlar vest, which has a steel, ceramic-coated plate over center mass to protect the heart and vital organs. Yes, no doubt the impact knocked her down to the floor, but she got right back up and hit the emergency button that activated a very strong pop up barricade, which stopped and disabled the terrorist’s vehicle. Then, as he was getting his assault rifle out of his car, she shot him to death. He was connected to Islamic Jihadist groups in the Middle East and may have acted yesterday in response to the FBI’s announcement on Monday in regard to the terrorist attack back some months ago at NAS Pensacola, which like NAS Corpus Cristi, is a major training base for military pilots. FBI credits the Navy MP, who stopped the Terrorist from mass murder on Naval Air Station Corpus Cristi. For her heroic, life saving actions, that U.S. Navy Military Policewoman should get not only the Purple Heart, but also the highest military award that can be applied to this case of domestic terrorism." GO NAVY!

  45. Reading Trail153's awesome adventure in Newfoundland inspired me to post pics from my Yukon sheep hunt from last year. I hunted the end of September into early October. The weather was surprisingly pleasant. The temps only fell into low teens overnight and warmed into the 40s during the day. I was lucky to shoot a fannin "stone" ram on the second day of the hunt. I'm told that he is one of the largest & oldest rams ever shot in the Yukon. 14 + years. Spent the rest of the 10 day hunt looking for a grizzly. We saw bears but nothing large enough to shoot. Pictured are myself and my guide Grant. Grant is a great guy to spend time with on a once in a lifetime hunt. Also are pics from my new friends from Wisconsin with their Alaska Yukon moose. Everyone of them were over 60". One of the other hunters shot a nice grizz and another took a beautiful Mountain Caribou. I'm saving all my loose change so I can go back again.
