Well.....I had 6" of wet snow here at the house when I left for work at 4:15am this morning.

Looks like North Central MT had some impressive snowfall totals !!

Nothing like snow on the ground to turn one's thoughts to ice fishing.

My daughters college biology class took a trip to Yellowstone & she sent me this pic !!                                               

   
I snapped this pic out my kitchen window overlooking the neighbors backyard. Little buck nicknamed "Strings Attached" !!

It's funny you say that Mike.....Couple people I know mentioned the same thing.....Said the number of wolves they saw this bow season was quite a bit higher as compared to years past.....Makes ya wonder if all the fires had them hanging in areas that they might normally pass thru.....Who knows.....Did you have any luck getting a bull this year ??

A guy I work with who lives at G'Town Lake, Denton's Point to be exact, told me Stuart Mill Bay had ice on it when he left for work Tuesday afternoon !!  :thumbsup:
It's been real windy the past 8 - 10 hours & the temp is 40 degrees right now, so hopefully that ice holds & starts working it's way across the lake.
Looks like the forecast will be more favorable for growing ice starting Saturday.....if the weatherman's correct that is !!

Spitzo,

I looked back at all the pages the other day when I was wishing I was a fishing.  glad that you started the post lots of good memories and pictures as well. Love the badger pic. my dad had a badger hat when I was a kid, we always got a good laugh out of it. this year me and the kid ran into a porky pine the first we have seen alive. think most are road kill or dog finds them the wrong way.

Oh. My. God.  I’ve never seen so many morels in one spot before in my life!  I envy you beyond what words can convey.   What a treasure!   They are so rare in western PA that even a handful is considered a treasure trove.   Wow!  You lucky devil!  Enjoy! :clap:
