The bear measured 18 7/8.... Thought that was pretty cool. Can't say I would ever shoot another one... Maybe yes, maybe no.. Since the dates and Limits have changed with waterfowling, I've been looking to getting back into whitetail hunting... More stand time in my future.

Butcher myself... Probably a trip to Scwans and have some sausage made... His coat is perfect! No rubs.. Claws are huge...now just deciding on a mount Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Where do I begin... I've been hunting all week in Steuben County. Bow hunted for a solid week... Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon I saw many different bucks. My friends and I have a self imposed antler restriction so I let a pile of scrub bucks go... I did shwack a donkey doe mid week. One doe and I'm good ... Now hold off for a mature buck... Opener of gun season... I'm set up at the bottom of a hill... Absolutely zero deer movement.. Out of the corner of my eye I notice a dark object quartering towards me and going up the hill in a thick portion of hardwoods... I can't believe my eyes... It's a bear! I pic a sliver of an opening in front of him... As soon as black fur appears in my scope, I send it! The bear disappears behind a blow down... I don't see him leave the blow down... I keep the scope on the blow down... I notice a black paw twitching.. "He's gotta be down" I keep saying to myself... After a few combat breaths, a few whspered phone calls to my hunting buddies, and I gather up my balls and approach the blow down... I close the 100 yard distance in what seemed like a week... I'm not going to lie.. My knees were knocking with every deliberate step... When I'm about 50 ft from the blow down, I see the bears head... Eye open, pupil blown... He's done. Once I get around the rest of the blow down, I finally get a full view of the bruin... Holy hell he's a giant! I still cannot believe how big he is... He's going on the scales tomorrow! It took four guys, and an ATV with a winch to get him out... A day I'm not going to forget.... Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I knew they were in the Bay... But yes I was shocked to catch one in the high sun of the morning.... Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Fickle fishing continues... Large clouds of bait on the inside waters has the predators very picky on what they want to chew on. One day they chew the transom off... Next day the bite is a grind. Sunday I had a young man and his folks out. This young man is an absolute animal on the stick. With the weird bite and a short trip scheduled, an inside water grind was on the schedule. Tons of marks and bait in 100-120... Suspended, streaking in the rigs... No takers... So down go a couple hammerhead and gambler rigs... Wire diver pulling an echip fly gets crushed and the young man puts a whoopin on a mid 20s shark. After a half dozen or so LTs off the bottom, the big rollers took a toll on our little buddy... Still had a couple hrs left, so we went into the Bay... Nice and Calm... The youngster had a request to catch a Northern... Well, I'm not set up for that, but we will give it a try... Threw out some gawdy colored stick baits in hopes MR toothy would want to chew... After a bit of trolling, one Rigger started acting funny... Released it and it was just weight ... I think it's a weed till the head shakes... Please please please be a Northern... 20ft from boat... Holy Crap it's a walleye!!!! The young man didn't get his Northern , but he scratched off a species on his bucket list... Days like Sunday make ya forget those grind days...

I'm really glad to see the "Sandy Creek" Shootout was won by a Sandy Creek team. Just proves great things happen to good people Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

This is because the County of Monroe and City of Rochester do a pi$$ poor job of promoting the fishery. Every other county around the lake does a 10x better job with promoting. All that's cared about is Jazz Fests, Clothesline arts fests, and volleyball tournaments.... It's a travesty to overlook a fantastic resource. Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

What port? As far as I know, all pen projects from last year are a go for this year Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have several knives on the boat... Even a really nice home made knife( I'm afraid to use it in case I drop it overboard).. I've used the cheap Rada knives for years.. They sharpen extremely easy.. Hold an edge very well...and if you drop one overboard, it's not a kick in the nuts replacing... https://radakitchenstore.com/products/fillet-knife?_pos=5&_sid=98d73c08f&_ss=r Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Another decent day... Frigid temperatures made less than ideal conditions for the pooches but they were machines and got after 'em. Never gets old hearing the dogs and seeing them do what they were supposed to do... Thanks again Bruce... Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Dang... Mike was an outstanding guy... My condolances Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Out this AM with a buddy and his red tail. Awesome watching her snatch a squirrel out of a tree top... Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I did see yote tracks today... It was just super thick property... I've hunted behind a few beagles, and I've never seen a dog better than Bruce's Miss Stella... Her and Nova worked great together.. Some icy conditions were tough on them. Sent from my VS996 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
