Lots of movies have inaccurate scenes that I see are glaringly wrong . I knew in my young age that Walton mountain didn't look right . Spanish moss in the trees ... ponderosa pine ? Catfish .in the mountain Brooks. How about rio grand turkeys in the east ? I think I recall them having black tail deer in more than one episode. Look past it we all did . One of my favorite books for fishing was the same way in the movie . A river runs through it . Story line was great movie was good . Couldn't stand that the rainbow trout had gnarly rounded off fins and tails associated with hatchery raised fish . They were half dead and pale. The one trout they showed looked like it was a salmon .

I'm using rage with orange collar. I dont have much experience. Took one and shot it into a block a few times . Opened everytime out of my crossbow.. one shot one kill on a doe at a little over 30 yds . Full deployment. Might be different out of a compound bow . Everyone knows that crossbows hit with the energy of a 30/06 ... flatter than a 6.5 creedmore. Capable of shooting around corners. And when hit in the right spot will gut ,skin ,and quarter a mature buck out to 1000 yds.

As usual didn't get things done as planned .. I'm hoping for a decent weather ... a couple deer in the freezer maybe a decent buck and a safe year for all.

Haven't gotten to the bench in a week or so . Whipped up one this morning in a hurry. Steelehead love purple and pink so .....

Revenant was a good movie .

Hatarie ,Jeremiah Johnson, The ghost and the Darkness.

I am a mossy oak kind of guy

Yup cans aren't what the use to be bullet rips through them like paper. I use to love make a tin can jump back up a hill .

Does he need a bow?

I'm near elmira. Would travel a ways .

Rear mounting brackets are different than mine . Wont work . Shame it's a good price

Missed the girls ....

That chit hurt...It burned worse than any cut I ever got ... use to swear they mislabeled battery acid

Never had a deer do that ...somebody better tell him he is supposed to run away ...

I have found that comparaduns that have been tied well will have a thinner wing finer hair. But almost always require a stiffer tippet .

My two favorites are pheasant tail and light hendrickson wets and nymphs. Sorry I mean light Cahill not hendricksons

I just got back into fly fishing for steelehead. Before I just nymph fished for them under an indicator. Swinging streamers is new for me for the most part. Last spring I picked up a switch rod for the first time . It took one steelehead blowing up on the fly and I'm hooked . Hit like a freight train. Wow just wow !!!!

I am planning on learning married wings this winter after deer season closes.

Couple of jigs I tie for pinning

I have been tying for 30 years. You never get good on a pattern until you tie 4 or 5 dozen of the same patterns . I learned from a guy that tied commercially down in the catskills. He said you truly know a pattern when you tie 10 or 12 dozen of the same . Salmon flies are bigger so your flaws are bigger . I tie ugly flies have an ugly cast but I catch fish.

Anybody else tie their own ... looking for proven steelhead patterns

Got down to the tying bench. Never tied alot of salmon flies . I'm learning .

That there be a picture I cant show the wife

All is right in the world the real pygmy!

Kind of a devil's advocate here . The OP said in original post that he gave permission to come on the property to track recover deer. He gave permission to come on the property.... I am betting he will be searching for lost deer all the time . And unless the judge hates trespassers as much as we do he is going to side on caution with a warning ... if the police even write the ticket. Not trying to start something... I have discussed this with a trooper family member. Just a thought .
