The Antler Hunters would get pissed, but OK with year round no limit deer season. $1 each, report it, and you can buy the $1 tags after you shoot them. Kill em all! Sick of deer dodging on my way home this time of year.

Figure his Freezer was to full for one more dead beast.

The turkey is good but the time with friends is better. Picked up a 23lb bird today. In the garage fridge to thaw. Will brine on Tuesday, spatchcock & cook Wednesday. Haul to camp reheat & eat on Saturday. The back, neck, cast off trim bits & offal (other than the liver & kidneys) go in the pot to make the gravy stock. Also stopped by Companion Bakery. Got a loaf of Sourdough, Five Grain, and Pain Beaucaire to cube and dry for the Sage Dressing.

Picking up Turkey tomorrow, and always brine. Head count is around 25. One Vegan, so 24. I do the Turkey, dressing, and gravy every year, others bring the sides so it is stinking easy. I do use some of the offal, and the neck to make stock for the gravy. Chopped offal and neck meat go in the dressing. Gizzard & heart are the bits to use. I fry the liver and share it with the dog. Too strong for the dressing or gravy.

I’ve seen two bobcats in the past 40 years. Would probably see more if I had the patience to sit in a tree, deer gaze, and let them pass.

Think he got bored and shot the cat before the deer ran by.

I understand the time value of money, and MDC permit costs are cheap.Likely to remain cheap due to the 1/8 cent sales tax. No break even for a 25-30 year old ,IMO. They should send a donor letter if you buy a lifetime permit.Take it off your taxes if you can still itemize. The Insurance folks could calculate that so it is a win win for most but it is not.

That idiot needs a walk of shame, wade out & walk home. Call me to help you tow that out. No thanks. Looks like it would have driven out if idiot kept it running. Water in the intake or to much back pressure in the exhaust will stall you.

The flys that you are forever tying ?
Gavin replied to fishinwrench's topic in Fly Tying Discussions & Entymology
The UV stuff is pretty neat. You need to see how it looks under UV light...A $10 UV flashlight will do the trick. I hardly tie anymore...but the really ate up retired engineer type guys love that stuff. They take fine sharpies and write down the dubbing colors, z midge embroidery yarn colors in their fly boxes. When they get back they will replace anything they lost. Most of mine, live assorted in little clear chewing tobacco style boxes...Grab one, or two that look different and fish them. Usually works. -
Good for you! It’s been a couple years, but I’ve always enjoyed uncrowded fishing during deer season.

We go camping on Thanksgiving weekend.

I don’t tie flies much anymore but think about it some. Kapok would not mix well with tonight’s rib roast.

Buddies used to fish with Gary years ago. Can probably get their bags of tri lobal Antron carpet fiber. Might have to buy them a meal and a drink or several. They like single malt whiskey. -
Not sure if my guides are still guiding. Yankee Jim, and Bear Trap Canyon are on my list. Usually booked out of Rivers Edge in Bozeman. Didn’t like them much, always over charged 20-50 bucks, for monkey dodo you never thought you bought. Liked the guides(Brian & Jen Grossenbacher), not that shop.

Laker sent some special rare yarn years ago. I don’t think it works any better, but it is still special. Anybody have any kapok? Looks like I’m out. -

I rarely tie anymore. Might do 3-5 dozen a year. I only use a couple flies that I cant buy a mile away at Hargrove’s. Used to tie 100+ dozen a year. Still have big Plano boxes full of em. -
Rosevelt lodge in the NW Corner is a favorite spot. Cabin with a wood stove, no water in cabin. They have a restaurant & bar, but better to bring your own. Xanterra ran the park concessions and their food service sucks.

Call me. Been many times.

Good smoke ring. Usually separate the point & flat but that looks like a brisket should. Great job!
-
It would look a heck of allot better if it was a Tarpon. t

Rented a pontoon boat and took the kids tubing on 20’+ high Bull Shoals this year. Figure what we have it is the new normal.
-
Good deal for a kid IF they intend to stay here. No break even really. They should send you a charity letter because you definitely overpaid.
-
MDC Lifetime permits are a bad value. You do not know what life will toss at you.
-
You better get cracking on that brisket. That's an overnight rub, and 10 hrs in the smoker, minimum. Costco Prime Brisket you chose well!
-
No Seth, I have not. Will pick some up and give it a shot.
