Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Well I've got a cougar hanging around behind the house. It's been feeding on the dead spikehorn across the tracks from my blind.
It was one of the buck I've been watching. Got hit by a car crossing the highway coming to my stand. The other night I was hearing all these strange noises.... It was the same night a neighbor saw the cat run across the road towards where I was sitting.

Chris told my wife the tail alone was four feet long......

Good job brother!!!!

Thanks, Phil.
40 yd. right out in front of the blind, just before dark. Dead in rut; neck like a Hereford bull & scent glands full. Rack's not quite as nice as the one on the wall, but it's real close, & has two more points. I'm by no means a trophy hunter, and antler soup doesn't appeal to me, but if a nice rack comes with the package I'm certainly not turning it down. We'll skin it & cut it up tomorrow. Nicest buck I've seen aroud here since I got the one I had mounted back in '81. Can't afford a shoulder mount at today's prices, so DS is going to do a european skull mount for me, for the wall of the blind.

Good all around. The residents usually really enjoy it, and it’s good practice for the kids. Have fun!

Our second stop of the afternoon was to a memory care unit. One of the residents alternately stood up with the kids, did a little dancing in front of them, and sat on the piano bench with me.

ELF.....extreme low frequency..... Submarine antenna.... It was a large telephone pole type antenna ran from Michigamee to Clam lake Wisconsin. So it was a long pole line.

Oh, I always thought it was a big grid type thing. Did I get it mixed up with that proposed project that was part of a big environmental fight a few years ago?

I’d have taken him if I saw him!
I think a European mount will be nice. Looks like plenty of meat too. Yum. You done great!

Morning fellow paddlers
Well, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! An inch or so of the fresh stuff over night, brightening everything up. Supposed to be nice today and might even see the sun for a bit this afternoon, the quiet before the storm. They still can't make up their minds how much snow we'll get but I actually hope it's at least 1/2 a foot. No, not went off the long end of the short pier, we are supposed to go into the deep freeze next week and a good snow cover will protect us from the frost depth going too deep. Not fun things happen when that occurs.

what happened to all this "Global Warming" of which they spoke? The official totals for November and we only had 3 days that were normal temps, the entire rest of the month was below!
I can't get my chooks to stick their toes out of the greenhouse and they're already starting to get cranky. It's going to be a long winter for them I think.
