Nice! Where’d you stay? Do any activities?

Nice! Where’d you stay? Do any activities?
One of the original 1930s Lopstick cabins overlooking 1st Connecticut. Just hung around town, did some hiking, and hit the usual spots although the Buck Rub and Grampy's were both closed for the holiday. A good friend of mine just moved back after 22 years in California and had never been north of the 45th... He was searching north country real estate offices while eating one of the giant cinnamon rolls from Green Acres when we got back lol.
Going back up for New Years, hoping there's enough snow to bring the sleds and do some riding.

Good deal.

Very cool I need to venture up that way.

I bought some of that P Line (Who had mentioned it?) so I think I'll re-line a couple of tip ups today so I can try it. I have yet to make your messy bucktail too, 800. I'd better get on that.
Right now I'm home waiting for my new portable to show up. After I assemble it, I'll have to try it out and have a nice porter in it. :)

excited for it! all geared up and ready. Plan on doing a lot more overnights in my monster lodge. Debating on setting up a wood floor (just easier to set up). Might hinge together some 4x4 sheets. Also threw together a contraption to tow my dog out behind the snowmobile ;D we'll see how that goes!

Just got the Sitka Hudson Bibs and jacket in. Gonna be bad ass, you just can’t beat Sitka for the quality and the warmth with no bulk.
Sending the jacket back now in exchange for a Large, the XL I ordered is a tad big but Sitka usually runs small so I went up a size.

Thanks, 1st time in the woods, since placing my stand, been crazy busy,this season, in a spot I've hunted most of my life, had her at the check station by 9:30
. I'd rather be lucky than good... I don't need no stinking horns!.. there's been a button buck showing on the game camera I still have 1 more anterlless tag I can fill.. he could be the next tender vitals.

I just put the bass boat up yesterday. I'm getting all the summer power tools winterized and put away and tuning up the snowblower.
Will start on the ice fishing stuff soon.
I retired this feb, should be more active on the ice and on here now.

Rescued two senior labrador mixes today..one owner died last month and the other has dementia and is going in a home ..we had to take them and care for the pups ..one is extremely over weight from lack of exercise and probably table scraps ..probably too old for ice fishing but maybe a warm late winter day they can get out there..happy to have dogs in the home again..hard to lose 3 dogs in two years..seemed like the right thing to do

Well done - seems like the right fit for all involved...

Way to give those dogs a good home.. cant wait hopefully can meet up with a few of you guys this winter.

Good on you and your lady Jibbs... Awesome that you would take in a couple old timers to finish out their years in a warm and loving home, love hearing stuff like this.

Oops! Double post! Beautiful gesture taking those pups in!
-
Jibb's, Congratulations on the new to you furry friends.
We have the freezer filled and then some, I tagged 3 and Hawkeye got his license this year and got his first solo deer 4 min. into rifle.
I just picked up a 2 man portable (Nanook XL) to play around with this year. I have been planning on going through all the tipups for 2 months now and have not managed that, I can use the excuse that I have been cutting up deer to justify some of the delay in ice fishing prep.
I wish the weather was looking more like growing ice weather.
-
Nice job taking in those fur babies, I miss my dog

I need to take the hunters apprentice deer lic before I pull the trigger for real. Its on my bucket list my father was not a hunter or an outdoorsman. Hearing you all talk about tagging all these deer gets me amped up to try.

If you can find the right someone to apprentice with that would be perfect however you can only hunt when they can take you. If you are really interested, I would recommend taking an in person hunter safety class as you will learn a lot in the class and you will probably meet some of the instructors who might mentor you while you hunt on your own. The good thing about deer hunting is it can be as simple as a quite walk in the woods or you can go down the BF rabbit hole of deer hunting, all of which is fun. Gutting the deer is not much different than gutting a fish and there is more information that you will need on line and youtube. I believe the commitment for the in person class is around 12 hrs plus a field day and an entry level gun that is completely suitable for deer hunting in NH can be had for less than $400.

Ive been doing alot of gym time this summer. Multiple 12 oz curls a days slugging bush wackers. Im ready to throw hands on the ice over spots
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Congrats on the retirement, George!
Jibbs, that's awesome of you! Those are some lucky pups. They look like they're settling right in. Hopefully they will be able to join you on a fine spring day. What are their names?
My new Clam came yesterday, but the instructions leave a bit to the imagination. After hollering at a piece of plastic and pulling out a hammer (not one of the recommended tools), I got to a good stopping point for tonight. The seat goes on tomorrow, and the cupholder is already in, so I might watch Grumpy Old Men in it tomorrow night. It's in the way of the couch anyway.

My shanty usually ends up in the kitchen this time of year... The hound is usually sitting in it watching me cook hoping for the stray scoobie snack...

I agree with the better lucky than good, pretty sure luck is the only reason I got a deer this year. Bumped him out of his bed and shot him from the ground (archery)....shot was a little far back. Found him the next morning, unscathed after seeing a bear and coyote within 500 yards of where he piled up.

I had commented on the stache, but I deleted it. Sometimes I forget that I'm old and might come across as a creepy old lady lol.

Well… what’d you say? ;D

I called it a porn stache, and ended with bow chicka bow wow.
There, It's on the internet for all to see.

Not creepy at all... Go have 3-4 beers and then try again.

Jibbs, good for you taking in some furry friends. Sounds like they’re going to a great home. Here’s my attempt to transporting my pup out with me on the ice once the snowmobile is in use. Kennel with an insulated cover and insulated pad on the inside fits perfect in my jet sled xl.
