    Old bear trap

    Turns out the person that had a trap line in the area where I found the trap was the great grandfather of one of my coworkers. It's probably safe to assume that the trap belonged to his great grandpa so I'll surprise him with the trap tomorrow.

    Old bear trap

    While scouting this afternoon I found this old Newhouse No. 5 trap. I lugged that sucker out of the woods and after hosing it off it appears to be in pretty good shape. I know some of these traps are worth some money. Any ideas on the value?

    Ladder stand tips

    I usually place my stands in locations where I am very hidden, such as a big spruce tree. Yesterday I was scouting the side of a nice ridge that I will rifle hunt during the rut. The ridge is all maples and pretty open. Great for visibility but I will also be very visible up in a tree. Anyone...

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    I got priced out of most big game hunting a few years ago. I can afford it, but I would like to retire some day. Points, license fees, travel expenses, etc., all add up to more than I am willing to pay for admission. Not sure how that looks for the future of hunting when more people come to the...

    I created a Muskie angler last week. Shortly after my daughter caught her first Muskie she landed another big toothy fish.

    Tray o fillets

    We spent the last 2 days battling the heat and harassing walleyes. I would like to point out that I caught 2 of the fish on that tray. The queen of the canoe caught the biggest, 30.5”.

    Your preference with trigger lbs?

    I can’t believe how light of a trigger some of you are hunting with. I’d fire before my crosshairs were settled with some of your rifles. Especially with gloves on. Around 4 pounds is good for me. Maybe I’m just tougher and more handsome than the average hunter 😀

    Bowhunting whitetails from the ground

    I’ve shot one buck and a couple of does with a bow from the ground. As I get older I’ve been doing it more for various reasons. Ghillie suits may seem ridiculous, but I’d consider at least the top. A mature whitetail buck is arguably the most difficult animal to draw a bow on. Drawing from the...

    Will white tail bucks come to a rattle in early December

    All my experience rattling has been in low density deer areas. Like others have said, I have found it to be effective for small bucks, throughout the season. I often wonder if my setups are wrong and the bigger bucks are catching my scent before I see them. I think in agriculture areas someone...

    Turkeys

    Late season boss. I can’t even think about fishing when I have a turkey tag in my pocket. Now it’s time to fish.

    Turkeys

    Wisconsin turkey camp is in full swing. Part of my bird from Saturday was just used as fuel for my Fort McCoy hunt that starts tomorrow. As much as I poke fun at Wisconsin, the driftless area is gorgeous. It’s become one of my favorite spots. I got a bunch of maple syrup from an Amish house that...

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Denver wins the tournament. They’ve been hot.

    Any hockey fans out there?

    College hockey tournament begins today. Every year the analysts brag on the Big 10 teams but, NCHC teams continue to dominate the tournament. Will this year be more of same even though the Big 10 has a funding and recruiting advantage? Hopefully Duluth can eliminate 2 Big 10 teams on their way...
