Salmon River success

We took these kings  this past  sept/oct.  They weren't eating but we coaxed them into smacking some estaz eggs and ice spawn....

2013 Pa Buck, 4th day of the season.

It was 64 degree's and raining. I thought there would be minimal deer movement. Was I ever wrong. This buck just appeared from thin air about 3:30 pm. I blew a chance at a smaller buck on another property in the morning. I failed to sneak out on a point overlooking a brushy old field and glass it. Instead I lazily drove the quad around the corner  of the timber and off he went with his lady friend.He was nice but smaller that the one I was fortunate to take.

Here's  a 7.5# brown trout taken on one of our jan. trips for steel head. It seems as though the browns are increasing somewhat in the tribs......

December 2012 Steelhead

We took full advantage of prime conditions. Rain from yesterday increased the flow overnight and was good at dawn. Stained,but fishable. By late morning the opalescent green color predominated. The steel were actively feeding and we landed double digits.........

2012 DEER SEASON WV/PA

Warm was the word for the 2012 rifle deer season! The dry conditions demanded that we would hunt from stands for the most part. JJ started off the season with a nice 8 pt. in wv on day two. He used a .338 Win.Mag. w/ 200 grain accubonds. I still think he's under gunned. I took this 10 pt. in PA the 3rd day of the season. Although we did alot of glassing at the longer ranges, my shot came at under 100 yds. I did see alot of deer in both states. Second day of PA i was watching a winter wheat field with 11 baldies and two 6 points. My buck was taken with the Sako .300 WM launching 150 ballistic tips @ 3,200 FPS.This load shoots 1/2 M.O.A.

SALMON FISHING

THE FLOW FROM THE TUG HILL PLATEAU MET THE FRACTURED BEDROCK OF THE RIVER AND THE KINGS CAME IN GREAT NUMBERS. LONG DRAG SCREAMING RUNS, MANY LOST FISH AND A FEW LANDED. THE LARGEST WENT 23+#...........

2011 Buck

This big dude was spotted by me on the last week of the season as i was glassing. I developed a plan of attack,based on the wind, for the following morning. the next day it all came together just after daylight. Took him at about 70 yds. at the edge of the woods in a brushy field. 19" spread w/ good mass. .270 Sako did the job once again.
