Geeesh...it never seems to stop. 28 degrees and 3" of fresh snow. At least the last couple days it was rain instead of snow, or we would be dealing with 20" or more. There's still several feet f packed snow on my lake and 2-3' of ice. Last year, the ice went out on April 8th, and my dock and...

Fabulous!!! Looks like rare mallard breast. I'm also am waiting for an antelope redo in WY.

Great Marcus...the scale isn't the only way to measure. The best reminder for me that I am putting on pounds where I don't want it is when my pants get too tight. I haven't changed my waist size in pants in over 45 years, and wearing an uncomfortable pair is constant reminder to lose a few...

I went on my first guided elk hunt after I retired, and figured that it was a once in a lifetime experience. That hunt was $2,800 in 2006. Since then I have been on 6 other guided hunts for deer or elk and have seen the prices increase to $4,500 for a 2 0n 1 and $6,800 for 1 on 1. The going...

I have the remnants of 105" of snow this season...likely 3' to 4'. Last year ice out on the lake I live on was April 8th. I would guess that we are easily a month plus away from ice out this year. BUT, I have two Canada fishing trips planned; the first a drive to resort in May, and the...

I am one short on getting my morning exercise routine back to my annual goal (20+ pullups, 40+ pushups). I will for-go it this morning as I have over 6" of heavy wet snow to deal with for myself and older neighbor. The snow total for this season has pushed past 100". I am within a few pounds...

So, if private landowners own the airspace above their properties, just how far does that go? I wouldn't want a drone hovering over my house either, but there must be a reasonable limit. It would be cool to take a power parachute into some of these landlocked public areas.

I burned my CO points a few years ago, but have continued to get elk and deer pts. I used the 1 that I had for elk again last year, and will likely use 2 pts. to draw a cow tag in 2024. As I hit 70 this year, there is no "point" to sitting on points. I actually did my first CO hunt in 1979...

We used an old trail that went up to an old fire tower site where my grandfather was the first fire warden in 1936. Locals used the trail for snowmobiles to access other trails, but the Forest Service decided that wasn't to be allowed. So, they brought in a big bulldozer, pushed over rocks and...

I have 2 and possibly 5 trips west planned for this year. The first is a family visit to eastern Washington, and instead of the truck/travel trailer, may end up taking the Ford Escape. BUT, the hunting trips will be in the PU, as it's hard to travel on horrible backroads, sleep in the back...

Another accepted name for them is lawyer. Which leads to the joke, "What's the difference between a Burbot and a lawyer? " A. - One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other one is a fish.

I was able to order 3 cases of 12 ga. trap loads, direct from Federal. Twice the price of a couple years ago. Federal has been good about making sure our high school trap team has a years supply......not sure of the price we paid for that, but we have some good donations that cover most of the...

Good advice. If I don't draw with 4 pts. this year, my only out of state hunting option may be in Ukraine. At least the license fee is reasonable, and there is no bag limit.

I am able to moderate my driving options, but living 22 miles from the nearest small town means that we still have to get out sometime. BUT, my bigger concern is that I still have to heat my house. Can a Tesla do that?

I was surprised to find a whole shelf full of ammo at the local Fleet Farm store a couple days ago. For over a year, all they had was a SORRY sign on the 30 feet of shelves that had previously been fully stocked. There were cases of Federal .556 mil. spec. (Green Tip), but still no 30-06.

After a lot of snow shoveling off the roof and deck, I even started up my exercise routine again. I always have the extra incentive to look a bit buff for the cute young Dr. who gives me my physical at the VA next month.

Nice setup.

All these various referendums should also have a part B that states that those who vote in favor will also pay for it if it passes. A common ref. on the county level are votes on a school levy. When they pass, at least all the taxpayers pay for it. On the wolf refs. it is likely that the...

Thanks Kid. Our elevation is about 1,600'. The original building was built by the Youth Conservation Corps in 1937 using the "Swedish Cope" method, supervised by several first generation Fins. The building was used as our community golf course club house for over 40 years, and when they...

Here's some pics from my latest bout with the snow Gods. This is just 30 yards of my driveway that is a mile long.
