    May explain the "shark-like" teeth marks on fish that started the whole shark/seal/monster swimming around there discussion lol. http://www.esf.edu/communications/view.asp?newsID=2262

    Good guess on score. To be sure I am going to need a better look at the deer. If you tell me where I could find him I could give you true accurate measurements via tape measure.

    Friday night most of the bucks must have been out as soon as the wind died because there were scrapes EVERYWHERE without a leaf on them. Their hangover kept them from moving in the rain until 2 pm. Does moving am/evening. Saturday saw 14 deer with one chase scene with a four point. Shaved the back of a doe at 35 yards. Amazing animals..I shoot one pin which allows my arrow to be 8" low at 30 yards. With the drop of the deer I figure 8" is perfect so I hold dead on out to 30 yards and don't shoot any further. This doe must have dropped two feet! Enjoy the hair cut.....it will grow back. I would add I am seeing Beech and Hickory nuts dropping. In years past if I am not seeing big bucks they usually are hanging way back deep in the woods eating nuts. Been watching deer walk thru food plots only to start eating beech nuts on the other side. This time of year it is all about protein.

    Thanks for the update. Went out yesterday with Tinkerbelle and got three nice points and non-flushes from pheasant carcasses that a fox or yote ate on state land. My dog was very confused lol. Wish the Dakotas was closer.

    Quick connect goes to fly leader so you can change flies quickly.

    Great story that defies logic. Question...are the blades on the broadhead you used new or had they been run thru a target before?

    After the next two heavy blow days I got to believe the weather keeping the bucks hunkered down will have them up and horny as hell come saturday.

    Giant can of worms with no ability to police what information is coming in on a phone. Observers should not have to monitor conversations. GPS coordinates can be texted. "I will be home after weigh-in honey" could mean I am trolling out front lol.

    To answer your question Brian.....I would not care if other teams went across the border without proper licenses and documentation because it is the captain's duty to make sure all his/her ducks were in line. If that captain was stupid enough to not be legal then he/she can suffer the possible consequences at the hands of the Canadian authorities (cavity searches?).....and not make weigh-in. This is really an issue with the Niagara Pro/Am and the KOTL tournaments, so why all other south shore tournaments would need GPS coordinates defies logic. Weigh-ins would go quicker with less volunteers needed without the GPS numbers as well.

    When you hear about those cases where an observer screwed up writing down the GPS coordinates, the captain did not confirm the observer recorded them correctly.....with everything involved with entering and running a team, money invested etc. etc. seems really silly to have the days catch disqualified over GPS coordinates. So ask the question.....does it matter? You can't fly to the Kenai and back in the time it for weigh-in so of course the fish are caught in Lake Ontario. Volunteers and tournament officials are often also participants and they are privy to these day 1 results. Just make the process simpler and above board....do away with GPS coordinate requirements.

    Hunting season has me preoccupied.

    Jonah you are not going to get much response from most musky fishermen on how to catch muskies on live bait. Most purists think that live bait gets swallowed too deep and therefore taboo.

    Weekday hunt

    Ah....you might want to use the edit feature LOL.

    Wide sucker! Nice.

    Hey Sean, consider a muzzle loader hunt. Early season so lots of elk are still on public land and still bugelling. You won't have to worry so much about those freak early snow storms either.

    Last weekend there was some gentle chasing. None this weekend. If we extrapolate out 30 days from last weekend that would make first week in November the best time to be in the woods.....but that is the case every year. Time of the year for the rut doesn't really change year-to-year, its the weather. You would not want to go for a jog in a winter coat either so if it is warm...you just are not going to see a lot of daytime rutting activity. I don't get too crazy with moon phases etc. To me it is more simple, if the moon is out, the deer can see better and therefore can chase easier at night. With a new moon, they can't see as well in the dark, so they are more likely to go lookin during daylight hours. The moon does not directly have an influence like it does with werewolves IMO
