Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

[Winterrider]

I haven't done smoked fish for quite a while myself. Hoping to get after some big pike yet this winter.
Not sure where you are at in ND but if you ever want to get out after some let me know and we can meet up. If you don't have much for pole or tackle don't worry because I got more than enough to share.

Not a lot that I'm missing for gear.( so I've been told )

uncle eddie you prob know this but if ya shoot skunks in the lungs ya have a 50/50 shot of them not spraying. Head or spine and they will spray (central nervous system thing) after ya skin if ya soak the skin in white vinegar the smell will be gone.

Duck season closed Sunday here and I was able to get a spot at the public area and it took till dark but I got the mallards

Then yesterday was the last day of our muzzloader season here and I was able to get a Doe with the flintlock

Nice harvest with the flint . You're getting that shot placement a bit far back though ,, Lol .

Agree chopsaw good observation but that deer was quartering away, round ball hit liver lungs and buried in the far shoulder.

I was kind of figuring you must have had a quartering shot. Me personally I prefer a quartering to or away shot with firearms as long as I can still avoid the guts.
Congrats on the good eats

Just yanking your chain . For a " click , spark , burn and bang " that's a great shot .
I hunted with a younger fella , that was king of the gut shot .
