Back from afield

A great day in the woods, not too hot or cool. Bugs weren’t an issue so I got most of the stands tuned up and ready to go. Pic’s are of a deadly Amanita mushroom(Destroying Angel) and some really stupid looking turkeys spotted in route to a stand. Note on the mushroom I pulled back [...]

Hey Manny

Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
Fishing has been so boring as of late. We can actually catch more fish onshore with the flounders than travel 20+ miles to the big ledge. At least the dogfish have taken off to who knows where.
Exciting news on two fronts, first is [...]
