Always been a Budwieser in a bottle kinda guy. I got a homebrewing kit for christmas this year, and the stuff i made with that was pretty good as well. As long as its cold that’s all that matters

Youtube will pull the music from the video, or the video, if they feel that it is infringing on copyright. I had the issue with some videos I uploaded. I found a number of sites on the web that have free, public domain music thats available for videos which I now use for my hunting and fishing videos.

My buddies and I just booked a Salmon Charter on lake michigan for the last weekend in April. Pretty Pumped because this is something I’ve wanted to do for about 10 years, and hopefully it lives up to my excitement. Would love to be able to do some of these trips you guys talk about in the future, but time gets pretty tight when working 60+hours in the summer

I have seen the smitty sleds, keep thinking about building one. I did go to fleet farm and get one of those deer dragger harnesses, which works great. It’s a big orange harness with a rope on the back that I just tied off to my sled rope, a lot more comfortable walking long distances hands free. When you get deep snow though this will still make it easier, but a smitty will have more of an impact, both a harness and the smitty would be ideal.

I cut the leg part off of one of those cheap saftey harnesses that comes with treestands, leaving just the upper part, and attatched the tether to the sled rope, I can leave that top part of the harness on and just hook it up to the sled when i want to go, leaving hands free and makes it a lot easier to walk out long distances with less fatigue

the “take one minnow” is what you are describing. Not sure who manufactures it but i saw it on midwest outdoors a few weeks ago

I’m not sure, i have hunted with bow during the gun season but i have always had both licenses, i would give a warden a call.

I was in the same situation when i started college a few years ago. Fish cleaning remains get double bagged in your plain old plastic shopping bags, then dumped in the dumpster. Deer remains were a bit more difficult to get rid of. My neighbors dumped one in the dumpster last year and it stunk for a long time, so i don’t recomend that. I was able to find a friendly landowner who allowed me to bury the remains on his land.

Make you get a scope designed for use with an air rifle. Air rifles have a goofy recoil pattern that will really mess with a scope designed for a rimfire or centerfire rifle. I have 2 Gamos and the scopes they have are quite nice

We used to have a big problem with deer getting into our silage bags on the farm. Theres a lot of different deterrents out there, the thing is no matter what the deer will get used to whatever you are using, so switch it up a lot. We used to stick wooden stakes in the ground and smear them with the strongest deoderant you can find. go into the store and start smelling, and if you find one that really stings your nose, thats the one to use.

Gonna be hitting a small local lake for the first time with girlfriend on the morning of the opener. It supposedly has trout so we’re going to be targeting them, but some gills or crappies will be just fine. The rest of the weekend is going to be spent tilling fields to get ready for corn planting

I am in Stevens Point WI, The local store carry’s several different kinds of Sonny’s so I might pick up some of that the next time I go there, from what I remember they had blood flavor and cheese flavor. I didn’t look too much at the tubes they had there, but I believe they had Team Catfish stuff there as well. There is a Gander Mountain about 30 miles away in Wausau, not sure what they carry, but I could always order some online as well if I can’t find any locally.

Any one of the small cheese factories all over the state on the day they make cheese curds. Nothing says Wisconsin like that squeak between your teeth

Since tuition is 3600 a semester and rent is 400 a month Busch light is going to have to do for me for now

I got a Jiffy pro4 lite earlier this season, so far i have drilled 80 holes on the original tank of propane! that is through anywhere from 9 to 20 inches of ice. and this morning, after the drill and propane tank sat outside through a week of below zero weather here in central wisconsin, it started on the 3rd pull. i’d like to see a gas auger do that. yes the propane auger was expensive, but i will never go back to gas after this. I listen to people fight with their gas augers all day long when on the ice and i just smile every time my auger starts on the first pull. I’ve never used an electric auger but one of them is just as expensive as a propane one, and from what i’ve seen, they always start, regardless of the temperature, and the battery will never run dry.
