Every Year in Mid October, I take 10 days and join a group of good ole boys to travel to Mine Center, near Fort Frances, where my buddy has a cabin on a lake and where the deer and moose hunting is usually pretty good. Its a 14 hour drive for us, but well worth it every year. We left at 3:30 in the morning to make sure we got there when it was still daylight to get our gear across the lake to the camp. I love the drive out, (the drive back... not so much...) we talk about the hunt, see the familiar sites, (this is my 12th year going out) and get ready to rock. A few years ago, a large area was burned by a forest fire, its interesting to see how the area's growth has progressed over the years. We arrived at camp just before dark, and got our gear accross and had a few rtefreshments while discussing our plans for the next day. The first couple of days were very uneventful, we scouted out our usual productive areas, which showed lot of good sign, but the weather was really warm, with clear skys at night and a full moon, which seemed to keep the deer from moving during the daylight.... I did manage this picture on my game camera in front of my favorite watch. The next day, my buddie Tookies son, Nicholas, who just got his PAL and hunting licence got this beautiful buck outta his deer stand! It was 225lbs dressed. and a BEAUTIFUL 8 pt rack The gun he was using is his late Grandfathers .300 savage. Here's a picture of him and his dad... and of course I had to get into the picture!!! LOL Here he is using his tag... And his dad instructing him on skinning.... Another couple of days go by with no action, here are the views from a few of my favorite watches.... The next Day while we were on the watch, a shot rings out, followed by another... we turn on the Radio, and the hear "Ive got a Bull down!!" from Mr. Bob Burnham, the worlds Greatest Moose Hunting Master!! We all haul ass to him and then the fun/work begins..... Here's some pictures... Now the work gutting begins... lol.. I left that to the moose professionals... but decided I could help with the... um... beverages.... Next was getting into the truck, Then back accross the lake, and hung up at camp... Then it was time for a few drinks and poker.. which I learned I should not play after a few drinks hahahahah Thanks DENIS!!! To be honest the table looked like this pretty much the whole 10 days... lol.. It was time for some Grouse hunting, and Nicholas who... unbelievably shot his first deer.. before shooting a partridge added a few of those to his resume... The rest of the week was very quiet, I had a couple of really quick chances, but it wasnt in the cards for me this year... Im not dissapointed though, we were up at 5 every day and hunted hard, it certainly wasnt for lack of trying. Heres a few more pictures I took along the way. Here's a nice one of Nic's deer. And of course every hunt camp need a pinup girl!! Heres some pictures of the lake. Here the racks of big bucks past... nics will be up here next year! Some wolf tracks on the beach by camp... And apparently a signal as to what they thought of us being there... lol This is Ole Uncle Joe who has been going on this trip, every year since 1971, when the only way to get out there was by rail... Hes one of the last two ole timers to be going, and goes home every year with his own deer!! I love this gas station on the way home.. and these guys did well!! Now for the fun part!! cutting the meat.. a 10 hour adventure. A cooler full to start. The butchers and apprentice at work. Im in charge of minute steak and hamburger... And Denis is the wrapper!! Its all done now and in the freezer... time to get to work... ugghhgg.... This is my 12th year going and as always I have never been disappointed.. I am grateful to be able to go, and have more happy memories than any one man should. We worked hard had some good laughs.. some rough mornings and some decent success!! Its hard to complain when the weather is too good... lol.... 350 more days to go till next year!!! I gotta go oil my guns!!

Im on my way tomorrow... we got a Bull Tag, and I gots me three bambi tags as well, that and a fishin licence, and watch out!!

When other anglers are working small, twister tail jigs with a vertical finesse approach, casting a swimbait can boat you plenty of fish. This season give yourself an advantage, integrating swimbaits into your walleye repertoire. Here's what you need to know about these productive baits. Eating Your Catch - From Landing Net to Table By Justin Hoffman There's nothing more fulfilling, both to the taste buds and the tummy, than that of freshly caught fish. Whether they are cooked over the open flames of a campfire, pan-fried in the kitchen, or baked on the BBQ, the tempting aromas and mouth-watering flavours are just rewards for a hard day spent on the water. Add to that the inherent health benefits that can be derived from regularly eating our finny friends, and you've got yourself a true winner for the dinner table.

However, Sunday, or Monday, depending on the weather, I am going to take my day and cook my frigging turkey.. and not check email, or worry, but give thanks for the way things are, and be grateful for all the friends and family i have...
