grampy

Thanks buddy! If I bomb out, I'll have to call Joel for advice! Bass! May hook a northern or two though. Fishing mostly with jigs and 10" worms on the main lake humps and weedbeds . Some crank baits off the weed edges in 12 to 15 feet of water. Along with a spinnerbait here and there. And thank you too sir. I'll post back here after the trip with a couple pic's. If no fish then, a couple old buds, laughing their butts off!

Heading up in the morning. Taking my neighbor from our lake property to renew my exclusive hunting rights, on his 75 acres. First time out for me this year, hopefully the repaired shoulder holds up! Reports I'm getting, say the water is high and the bite has been off a bit. Anyone fished up there recently? At least I won't be working! And I know the laughs will be plentiful, even if the fish are not.

Wow! That would be perfect for my grandson and I for rainy days! The price is very good too.

Cougars?

Under Armor base layers, no matter if it's warm or cold, those things do their job! Snow Camo! Three inch folding Buck Knives. Nikon bino's and range finder.

Hope it all goes well for ya Grizz! Get it done and get feeling better!

How could anyone, possibly get any enjoyment from hunting, if you are always "under pressure" to perform? Most of the "hunting shows", these day are just that, shows. With about as much reality as Saturday morning cartoons. The poaching bum, should have lost his hunting privileges for life! As that is what hunting is, a privilege! And in my opinion, if you are caught poaching you should have the privilege taken away. As you obviously have no respect for hunting or the game pursued. Big thumbs up to the REAL hunters that turned the bum in!

5) The tension pulley bracket is moving when the lever is engaged and disengaged?

I make no apologies, for being proud of how I hunt and the deer I've killed. I don't shoot yearling bucks, because I've shot a bunch of them, and find no challenge in shooting them anymore. I hunt for my own enjoyment, not to impress anyone, or boost my ego. I'm truly happy to hear of ANY hunter killing ANY deer! And will always give a heartfelt congratulations. But I enjoy putting all the years of learning the way of the whitetail, and refining my hunting and woodsmanship skills, to be able to shoot what make ME happy. Hunting is not, or should it be, an everyone gets a trophy activity. Shoot what you like. Like what you shoot.

Yum! Do you do mail order?

I have the 111. Try cleaning and lube with Tri-Flow the tensoin pulley and bracket. It is attatached to the rod that is connected to the engage lever. Had a similar problem with mine last year, and thats what I did to fix it. Tried a few other things first. But that was what fixed the problem. Good luck!

If someone finds a big gold nugget, and someone else finds a diamond. Who is the better rock collector? And does it really matter?

Not for the bad guy that was on the receiving end. His luck ran out!

I really don't think about the psychology of why I may shoot a certain buck. I just head into the woods, and if I'm lucky enough, a three year old or older buck will show himself. I choose to pass on year old bucks. But every hunters choice should be their own. I try not to over think hunting and keep it as simple as possible. If a deer I like ambles to me, I'll make my best effort to kill it as quickly as possible. Simple. No psychology involved for me.

They look very similar to mine! Got plans to head up to Saratoga Lake on Wednesday though. Hoping to join the fun. Might even catch one or two!

I bet he does finish out nice. He's already got tons of character. Very nice buck!

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure you learned a bunch during those days! Sorry I hyjacked your thread grow.

Pretty cool. Whats the biggest buck you saw while guiding in Pike County? Just curious.

That is pretty cool looking. Any idea what it is?

Good glass, is just as important for fishing, as it is for hunting! Perfect selection of stuff to put some bronze backs in the boat!

C'mon, jump in the mosh pit!..........smile.

I know a guy that knows a guy. Probably have 50 or more scattered around.

From one "grampy" to another, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! She is beautiful! Glad all are doing well. Grandkids really are Gods special gift. And it sorta renews the contract for us older folks! Spoil her at will!

Is it good eating? If it is I'll take it!

Wow! Nice outing and pictures!
