January 17, 20232 yr I never posted my PA buck this year either - No trophy but I did get him from 350 yards out so that was the accomplishment
February 27, 20232 yr Northwest MI and UP trip for this summer now starting to come into focus. The wives are along and we will get two days fishing, two golfing, and the rest all the nature/cultural stuff (lots of MI micros and maybe some wacky tobaccy thrown in there as well ). So, the important stuff. Looks like we are doing one day of fishing out of Muskegon MI. The other guy is looking into that one. He's one of those dudes with some financial means who takes two or three trips a year all over to fish. His latest fishing trips were to Alaska, Norway, and Madeira. I'm guessing he is looking to get out on a charter boat into Lake Michigan but I guess it could be the other way with him wanting to travel up a river to fly fish. The other fishing day will up in the UP. I'm wondering if anyone in here has ever fished up there in the UP and has any tips. I know they have some serious Muskie fishing up there which might be fun. As for me, I'm your typical total hack who grew up learning to fish with his grandfather. I've only kept it up as an adult sporadically here and there. Normally just a couple mornings/evenings fishing each summer for perch and pike at our cabin up off the East Coast of Sweden into the Baltic. Has more of a Maine lake feel as we are in some Islands though the water is brackish. Other than that, it is all depending if I get on a trip somewhere which hasn't happened now for a couple of years so I'm really looking forward to this one. All help is much appreciated.

March 3, 20232 yr Author F it, i guess i can. so, first year rifle, up in a tree stand about 25ft up on a steep hill behind our mountain spot. doe and a buck come up to the left of me, about 75yrds off. they are facing broadside to me with the buck behind. i went to take the shot at the doe and i forgot to take the safety off, when i did she heard the click and went to run. i shot and im assuming i missed the doe, but i nailed the buck through the neck and he dropped in place. see if you can see why i didnt want to shoot the buck.

April 2, 20232 yr So did you catch anything, Mike? I ask this because I know nothing of Fishing — if you did catch some, is it catch and release, or catch and eat?

April 3, 20232 yr A little late on this but my daughter got her first during youth rifle season. It was me, my pops and her. Last light shot where she had to shuffle to a different position. She placed a perfect shot off platform.
April 6, 20232 yr Author nice. i got four trout the other day at Levittown lake. every fish in there is at least 14in.
