Bad day hunting vs. good day at work

[Russ Jerome]

Woke up this morning hung over...but at Puckaway lake!

Big sausage,egg,toast and coffee home made breakfast made by a buddy I was ready to go to the deer stand and call in some Yote's!

In the stand, looking North towards the lake.
Those are not minivans in the tops of the trees!

Nearly back to the house (snow is like 3' deep I about had a heart attack!) this Redtail is in the tree looking down at the tweety birds by the kitchen window.

Having a Bald Eagle fly within 20' of you will sure brighten up
the coldest day. Those are some impressive birds up close.

Those were some beautiful pics......I bet the eagle in person was spectacular.

Cool pics!

my kid has a T-shirt that says:

"I'd rather have a bad day of fishing with Dad than a good day of shopping with Mom"

Just my crappy pocket camera, you get the idea tho!

I'd love to bring the wifes new Cannon 40....not happening
anytime soon I bet :o

I was in an open deerstand about 12' off the gound in
07, 15mph wind directly off the frozen lake I was like
"WTF am I doing, Im gonna freeze to death".

A few minutes later I could hear the tone of the wind
change above me, there was an adult male heading
into the wind not 10' above me, just hovering almost
in reach he was stationary there for what seamed like
minutes! Im hoping to go up next weekend, I need to
make a fake Camera to swap for my wifes for the trip.

lol cardboard cut out.

If you want some yotes to shoot, come on over and sit along the power lines. They were ******* with Menger's Malamute a few weeks ago.

I'm working on that silencer, more coyotes in town than in
the woods according to the news!
