Nice looking fur on all of your animals too. How far did that bobcat go once you flushed it out of the culvert?

It'll be interesting to see how many pellets went into the thing when you skin it out. That is some pretty barren looking country you hunt. Similar to some of the stuff I hunt.

Just a jokin Bearhunter,just a jokin. PS That last pic where he's heading toward your truck kind of reminds me of your wife heading your way after you've pissed her off.

Seems like we just had a conversation here about using BB's. For anything past 15/20 yards, I have no confidence in BB's whatsoever. Good hunting. Lima Bravo edit: while looking for a "muddy spot" I happened to notice something. Minneesotans are some tough customers! I wouldn't be caught dead in snow country wearing sneakers! edit: that dog looks like he's driving, and very intent.

Leonard, i grew up shooting reds with copper plated BB's and have killed truckloads of them (with them). the cat was shot with 2's and 4's. i have no dought that iff'n i would have had BB's he'd have been dead first shot. crocs are regular attire here in Mn LB. we grow up tough here in the land of snow and ice (and pink panties) but thats a whole nother story!! yes, that red is pehaps 1 of the nicest i've killed in years. super cherry red and large. got him on the boards right now drying. took him through the heart at about 150 yards with my 17-204. small hole in/out.no stitching required. if the market is what it was last year, he could fetch a cool 100.00$ DiYi. as for the cat,wish you woulda been with. it's the same spot i dropped you off for the marathon snowshoe tour after them coyotes 2 years ago.. wolf hunting sucked!! 1000's of $$ and miles and i blanked out. will try trapping next time.

I have seen a few wear Croc's but they lived in the city, country boys here wear boots.. Where did you get 100.00 for a redfox? Was it just one that was different that someone had to have or were all the top grade fox going for that price???

Member # 3785 posted January 02, 2013 09:27 PM                   Leonard them Crocs he wears sure make funny tracks in his back yard don't they?Always thought he walked like a rabbit,those pics appear to confirm it. Tim,any country boy,particularly insecure ones,can wear boots.You need to be a very tough,secure,confident hombre to wear pink panties and crocs.

That's what caused me to lose my balance and fall off that ladder last year. My advice, do not climb ladders and prune palm trees wearing crocks. Besides, you look stupid. Something amazing about crocks. Anything, the smallest grain of sand, a piece of grass, anything at all that gets into your crock and you will know it immediately. I start limping, stop and remove a shoe and it could be a grain of salt, (I shit you not) but it's extremely noticeable. Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

Bear....you're definitely a flatlander down there. The ony really flat stuff here are lakes and rivers.

Member # 3785 posted January 03, 2013 05:38 AM                   TW, I hunt a bit with him in that country.Couple a things I learned:What you think is one mile is likely three;your rangefinder won't work often;and if he says 'put on your snowshoes and go get em'.it means a walk of a minimum of 3 miles-while he rides around in his mini Taco.

DiYi, I know what you're saying about that type of flat, white country being deceiving on distances. So do you use spotting scopes to watch areas, or just see what you can see with your eyes and then go get em'?

Member # 3785 posted January 03, 2013 08:46 AM                   He see's em,then sends me to drive them to him.At least that's the way it usually shakes out.He's a kid,I've been on Soc Security for years,the overall picture just doesn't compute. i may go on strike.

The ones I have were made by Cree Indians, wood and rawhide, long and just barely too small for me but less tiring than a larger pair would be. They work great as a snow shovel to dig out a blind, also to sit on. My glasses tend to fog up from the long trek so I have to wait usually more than five minutes before I can see clearly. We must be nuts? I think it's terrible that bh makes his partner walk three miles through four foot drifts while he loafs around and plans strategy. No way to treat a not very bright old guy. He will pay you back one day, bh! Reminds me of that old golf joke...."hit the ball, drag Joe. Hit the ball, drag joe." I hope, strictly from a revenge standpoint that he drops dead at least three miles out there/make a stand, drag DiYi. Make a stand, drag DiYi. Good hunting.

Can you use those down there to hunt, or do they send coyotes and animals to the next county?

In most cases they do more harm than good.. The noise will scare them into the next mile section and if you follow with the snow machine then its considered chaseing and thats a No-No... Better to leave them at home and just snowshoe it in to a section... -------------------- What if I told you, the left wing and right wing both belong to same bird!
