Thanks Simon Simply feels awesome to walk on to the ice and be able to fish..... next time will be spending more time at it and the thumb thingy.... just don't know what he was thinking

 

The UFO on the pic was remote control planes that a couple of guys were playing with when we arrived

REAL MEN LIP PIKE! Don't let anyone tell you other wise. LoL I've done it before, and I'll do it again. Sometimes they will even let you get away with it.

 

Good to see people getting out on teh hard water.

How's the season going so far? any deer activity around your hunting area?

Have you seen any good ones?

[waterwolf]

it's gettin' harder to get out with xmas gettin' closer ,,and the weather's hard to work\ predict. seen some huge bucks ,,just can't hunt at the airport . lol . i've given up on antlers and will definitely settle for a nice doe, again. one in the freezer already but have an additional tag for either to fill. hard to pattern deer right now , crops comin'off the fields ,wintering habits starting ,, oh , i have a whole bag of excuses.lol. this saturday is booked for huntin' ,, hell or high water .. give me a gentle but steady wind outta the north and i've got a chance.

 

then the ice gear comes out .

You can hunt at the airport... but only with the airport managers written permission. They might actually appreciate it if if you approach them.... as 400 lbs does a lot of damage when it leaps in front on take off.

i woulda had ta been on th ice i suppose, -29 is my limit -30 not gonna do it but 29 its all a go if the truck and ski-doo start!

Sometimes you just can't pick and choose and go with your gut feeling..... this late in the season, deer are migrating to their winter grounds and makes for a more challenging hunt

 

Good luck to ya this Saturday, will be keeping an eye out for your report

At -30C I don't go out unless I have some sort of shelter.... usually will go to an outfitter for that cause I don't own one. We always go out in the open and the only luxury we have is an ice bucket to sit on

Paul, those are jumbo perch too bad they have parasites on them. Look at yours, the tail holds a couple of yellowish ones

That pair would be good table fare for thanksgiving Great shot

 

Will talk later about this upcoming weekend.... The ice should be thicker now that the snow melted and the temps dipped below zero to freeze it over again
