He does everything that I have done, great guy. He just got done on my bear a couple months ago.

Couple years ago I was lucky to get a nice hen, 13.5#, on a slide diver/spoon fishing with buddy Matt French. Fish was such a beautiful trophy that I decided to get it mounted. The very next weekend while fishing with my other buddy Eric, caught a male, 14.5#, on a 7 core down the chute on a spoon and decided to get a mount done on the pair.

I purchased the aluminum traxstech for my boat last year and they are mint to use. Not cheap but pay for the equipment once and you don't have to worry about the issues listed above down the road which ends up costing you just as much in the long run. IMO.

Thanks. No way I could have got a shot into it anyway, unbelievably thick where I was hunting.

Heading down in late February for Winter Break, anyone been down and have fished with any charters that they would recommend? I would just like to have some names as a starting point. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Tomy

Flew into Saskatoon and guide picked us up and drove 6 hours North to Brambant Lake where the camp was.

I had rings mounted on it so I can put it on my wall...two little girls and a lab at home...don’t want to take any chances!

Just picked up my bear from this past Spring this morning...pictures do not do it justice...came out amazing

Looks like I will be the only one, but, I have a Thompson Center Encore 50 cal with a Leupold VX-II 4x12 on it. I shoot the Hornady 250 grain SST bullets with 150 grains of Triple 7 Pyrodex (Triple 7 primer). I have had this set up for now 15 years with having taken many whitetail and one elk. Very reliable and accurate gun. I have not hunted regular season with a shotgun for the time that I have owned this gun but then again, I always sit.

It's all in what you are confident in running I think, I have spoons that go out every time and when I ran that spoon, if it didn't go in a short time frame, I pulled it and swapped it out for what I was more confident in. I'll try and give it more time this upcoming season. The great thing about last season was the colors I ran went pretty consistently so I wasn't having to keep swapping my spoons out.

Yes sir

Thanks Scott

What conditions has it worked for you guys? I have heard that it has been a stud color but have not had the same success with it. Cloudy, early morning?

Been seeing a ton of does with some small bucks since opening day...figured I would fill my freezer this morning so took her out at 20 yards...didn’t make a step...congrats to all that have scored...some amazing deer
