Velociquackers LOL!
I caught that on my UL rod with 4# test that I use for Blue Gill. Previously I tied on a new section of line more than I use for a 1/64 oz bluegill jig. When that fish hit, I thougth, Oh $hit! That knots not going to hold. Luckily it did.That's a Bull trout you had there. Nice fish.

Don't get me started on duck hunting. Mine doesn't start until Nov. 10?Can't wait to get back in the duck blind! Just over a month to go. Early goose season starts this coming Tuesday. That mostly means I bring a shotgun when I go fishing, hoping for fly-over opportunities.
Oct. 1st up here, but most birds will have migrated by mid-December once things get icy and all the backwaters have frozen.Don't get me started on duck hunting. Mine doesn't start until Nov. 10?
"Blast" from the past.Velociquackers LOL!
He responded to birthday wishes on FaceBook.I noticed that sawtroll had not been active since June 2022 when he posted he is no longer using saws so he will be around less. I hope he is well in whatever he is doing.
Good to hearHe responded to birthday wishes on FaceBook.

September 21st here, I think the earliest ever.Oct. 1st up here, but most birds will have migrated by mid-December once things get icy and all the backwaters have frozen.
Our season starts before many birds come down. Then the birds get short stopped half way down the state until they freeze. Then we've got two short weeks before we freeze up. And I don't break ice anymore.September 21st here, I think the earliest ever.
We used to be the Saturday closest to 10/1. Then it became the last Saturday in September. Now it is the week before that.
I do like an earlier start as we are almost always frozen out before season ends. But the 21st is pretty early....trees have hardly begun to change colors!
Ahh yes, the beginning of season where the leaves are still on most trees and you get to play a fun game called "Is that a duck in the distance or a mosquito" lol.September 21st here, I think the earliest ever.

Similar story here. We get a couple good shoots around the opener before the resident birds wise up. Then when the weather starts to get cold and the little ducks leave, we see more large birds like mallards and blacks passing through on their way down south. Coincidentally, this is right around when most folks here are more concerned with deer hunting so there is less hunting pressure. I do like to hunt for deer too, but I make time for both if I can.Our season starts before many birds come down. Then the birds get short stopped half way down the lake until they freeze.

Those look like ducks in the second pictureHay is done at the Farm
Somehow they ran over a coyote, the buzzards were eating well….View attachment 1200684View attachment 1200685
You use sticks? I bought a pair but didn't like them so they sit in the corner. Maybe if I was fording streams on a regular basisGrinnell Glacier hike , and Highline was my favorites,View attachment 1200445View attachment 1200446
Ours $9.99 but I had to go to 2 different ones as the first was sold out. Bought 2 gallons as the gallon of Husky at hunting camp is about gone
One year during early season we were out the duck blind and it was well into the 70s. That was when I thought I was tough and shot 3 1/2 inch shells at everything. Got a major concussion headache after a flurry of active shooting in a T-shirt lol.Ahh yes, the beginning of season where the leaves are still on most trees and you get to play a fun game called "Is that a duck in the distance or a mosquito" lol.
When I first started out at the show I was the "go-fer" that help catch/stack boards, roll the logs and shovel sawdust. Other than run the tractor, I've worked at just about every position on the mill. We usually try to shovel sawdust every other log.Looks like you know what you are doing. I was the idiot pulling the boards off a circle mill and stacking after each cut. It was on a concrete floor which was loaded with sawdust and crap. Made for a slippery footing. Guy running the mill didn't like me "wasting" time cleaning the floor so I would have a good footing. I had nightmares about tripping and falling into the blade.
The owner says he has to remember when getting parts for it to call it a Minneapolis Moline. Right after he got it he replaced the fan belt and radiator hoses but while at the parts house he mistakenly called it by what it's badged as and they couldn't find anything for it, so he remembered, "oh it's a MM G705" and then they could find what they were looking for.Cool Tractor! 101 PTO HP as tested in the Nebraska Tests. Produced 62-65. A very big HP tractor for then. It was contemporary to the John Deere 5010 with 109 PTO HP, tested. A rare bird now in Massey clothing. With Amish wheels, it is even more rare.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Cowboy254. Have a good one mate!!!
