Creep was definitely real this year. I didn’t apply but checked out the draw odds. My 14 points this year would’ve got me less than my 13 points last year. I’m guessing my 15 next year will get me even less.
I’m at the point where I’m wondering what the best value for my points will be. Draw a...
I went down the pellet grill rabbit hole last year and almost ended up with one. In the end, I got two of those stainless tubes for $11.00 each that you put pellets in and light. I toss them in the Weber gas grill I already had. No complaints and it’s one less piece of equipment I have to...
I love that country up there. In my younger days my buddy and I would head up near Fort Frances. We’d get a local to drop us and our canoe off on some random lake way back in the bush and we’d find our way back over the course of a few days to a week. We’d bring a couple granola bars for each...
Man, now that is an organization that would get my money. All of it. Every year I think it can’t get worse. And then it does. Just last week I watched an entire wetland vanish before my eyes. So did the nesting waterfowl that were using it.
That Federal 2-3/4” 1-1/4 oz #5 copper plated lead going out of a 12 gauge at 1500 fps is the most deadly load (for me) I’ve ever used for pheasants. I’m not a good shot but, with those, I don’t miss too often.
I like a good, higher velocity 7.5 shot out of my 20 gauge for ruffed grouse and...
Opening day for me today. Alarm went off at 4:00. Sunrise was at 5:48. He was dead by 5:58. I made it to work 20 minutes early. There was zero gobbling on the roost so I just set off walking and calling. I got an answer quickly. He came in gobbling and strutting with two others. They got nervous...
That’s simply not true. If someone told you that you could go into the draw with 625 chances or one chance, you’d be a fool to go in with one chance. Are your odds still extremely low with 25 bonus points? Yes. But they are significantly better than someone with one point.
I don’t mind handling snakes, but I hate getting musked on. Are bull snakes as bad as garter snakes? Finding a bull snake on my land is a bucket list item for me.
