Did a lot of scouting this week. Trying to find a lake with good ice. Found one in the U.P. On Tuesday. Fished it today. Great time and we had 5.5 - 8 inches of ice. Targeted lake Trout. Pike Jr. caught a very nice walleye. Released of course- out of season. Gorgeous day. Great to get a “bonus” ice fishing trip in.
Just saw a bear about a quarter mile out of town.Looked like it was coming out of a culvert. I drove past and the guy behind stopped an must have been watching it. I turned around to check it out again and look for tracks to see if it left or was denning up in the culvert. Couldnt really see any leaving tracks, so I might take a walk down there tomorrow.
Yeah, I bet with that lack of snow all winter, levels aren't great. Bring it on. We're staying back until sometime after Easter now anyway. Health issues kept me away all of the cold season, so I was all in. Oh well, hope the dang mosquitoes aren't like last spring! That was somethin' else.
I'm lookin at the plus sides...plenty of wood to burn, good opportunity to see what game trails are being used, a little extra work to burn off winter weight, maybe panfishing? Lol, who knows, turkey scouting for sure, target practice, etc. Honestly, this SUCKS. Any thoughts of an early start on real work just went pfft.
Nice pics & cool to see I’m sure . Have seen a few wanderers the last few years & they are very impressive to see . Was able to go on a hunt in B.C. a few years back in September & bulls were in the velvet yet . I shot this Canadian bull & never will forget the site & size of it at about 75 yards . Some marbling & antlers are removable . Memorable hunt
