I was up in N. Washington earlier this week fishing. Stopped into a tavern for a burger and came across these old bucks mounts. No details, maybe next time I'll find out about them.
We're still in the process of dealing with my parent's stuff as we are most likely selling our place and moving to town. My wife came across a box of dishes with some cool newspaper packing from 1975. Advanced ticket prices ranged from 3.50 for Skynerd to 10.00 for Elton John.
Pick a song...
My wife captured a picture of this buck in November. She had it transferred to canvas and gave it to me for Christmas. Took me awhile to figure out a good display for it. Good winter shop project.
I've read a couple times now that some outfitters are offering deals for points. I've done some looking and haven't found any so far. I have 12 points and kind of a strange request. I know to never say never but at this time I don't really care to kill another mule deer. I haven't even applied...
I hooked this cat while fishing for bluegill 45' deep. It happens fairly often but the bigger ones usually break off, sometimes intentional. It was a long, deep battle. At one time I could feel the line rubbing on the anchor rope and thought it was all over but I followed him around and he...
Wife and I made our yearly trip across the state to Newport. Stayed in a nice condo overlooking Yaquina Bay. I went on three charters on three different boats, whoever was fishing salmon. The first day was salmon with crabbing. It was wild action, several multiple hookups on big coho. On the way...
I got away for a few hours this morning to try for some crappie. They have been hard to come by so I wasn't expecting much. Luckily I got into them right away and had a great time catching them on micro light tackle. The perch were a nice bonus.
I'm always apprehensive about the first launch after the boat setting all winter. Not just the boat but me remembering all the in's and out's. Well, it went real well, boat started and ran great and I didn't have any senior moments. Crappie were the target but anything that bit was fine with me...
I've been wanting to do this for quite awhile. I got a call last week from a Columbia guide wanting a trip on Brownlee. We arranged to swap trips. He had been doing well jigging pre-spawn fish. The fish were in transition and we only jigged up a few. We went to trolling plugs and that was slow...
Finally got a weather break on the coast and headed over to Depoe Bay. I actually had to pick up a tractor implement over that way so killed 2 birds with one stone. Caught black rockfish, canary's and lingcod. Our crab pots brought up 50 on Tuesday and 58 on Wednesday. If I lived closer I'd go...
Caught this guy on the trail cam last evening. I got one this morning about a mile away. They're really active right now. Hope to take some more out before Spring.
59 years ago for my 10th Christmas Mom and Dad gave me my first gun, a Savage 20 ga youth single shot. I just passed it on to a friend that is raising his grandson who is now 9. This friend is hunting something almost every day of the Fall and the grandson is already hooked. I wish I could see...
I put my trail cam in a cardboard box to keep it from frosting up. When I checked it this morning 3 of the 4 flaps on the box were tore off laying on the ground. Caught her in the act.
