I had a 12 guage A500 for a short while. Very short. :)

I wish: I’d be staying if they were some keepers. Barely enough ice to fish on. Overnight temps above freeezing sealed the deal that I wasn’t going this morning. I’m 70 mph winds starting tonight. I’m going home to wifey!

Looks like the A500 to me.

Hunt went well. Went 3/4 opps. Dog did a fine job today considering the wind we were in. Got 2 in the first place. Should’ve been done quickly. Drove to the second spot and got the last one. Could’ve shot 3 or maybe 4 one the way back to truck. Had to do a big deadhead walk to get around the...

Caught a dozen on the ice tonight. Nothing broke 13 inches. Sleeping in tomorrow dreaming of an assault on some longtails. Boat fishing ain’t going to happen as the river is really low and it’s 50 feet over gravel on the ramp and gravel as far as I can see into the water.

When I’m boat fishing in the winter it’s like 6 inches of clothing to fish out a cold tool. I’ve found that wearing sweat pants instead of jeans eliminates a second or third zipper. It seems that I can never adjust the timing of events to coincide getting two zippers down. All us old guys...

Wow

Dill pickle juice for the win! Literally instantaneous relief.

Nightmare for Conservation officers I think. I’ve been told that firearm enforcement in Minnesota deer is going to fall onto the local sheriffs department.

Actually, there’s about an equal split between fishermen who buy habitat stamps and hunters who buy small game licenses/ habitat stamps

Merlebo 02. You’ve seen the forecast I assume? I went to Chamberlain yesterday on a quick one day trip before the weather sets in for Thanksgiving. I fished from 8 am till 12:40 pm and never heard a shot in the distance. It was flat calm out so it surprised me that I didn’t hear any...
