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.

Fall 2011 Steelhead Run is on........

Rain has fallen.The Lake Erie water temp. is dropping and the steel are invading the tribs.The murky skies have slowly yielded to sun and blue. Emerald waves churn onto the shore under a light north wind. After some earnest searching for fish on our first trip we found some. coaxing them to bite took some real effort.Rain gear shed, trip number two started off slow....then we hit the mother load! Fresh chrome in good numbers. Best of all,they were eager to eat,and feed them we did !!!!!!!

More steelhead and trout.......

from the shores of Lake Erie to the streams of the Alleghenies....

Steelhead and Trout Spring/summer 2011

A few steelhead from the late season and some trout from various streams.

2011 SPRING STEELHEAD RUN

After a very cold and protracted winter the spring run has begun. Proving yet again that the calender period/angle of insidence of the sun is critical.

2010 Buck season

The weather went from 56 degrees to snow and wind. Like always, the deer moved in earnest!Two factors come into play. First, by oct. the deer have their winter coats. It' simply more comfortable to move about in cooler conditions. Secondly, and more importantly, the need to feed forces them to move about during daylight hours. The more protracted/colder/snowier the weather remains, the more the whitetails will be out during the day. Took this guy at dusk.

2010/2011 Steelhead Season

Rains in excess of 1" have jump started the season. Swollen creeks have provided a liquid highway for the steelhead to start moving upstream. This fish went 8#12oz.
