Just a skin on Kelly Bay (VT side) Tues. morning - at least the water is cooling off to the point where it will freeze when we get a good blast of cold weather.

Drove by Drews setback last night, locked up, won't take long to make a couple inches on that. Possibly by the weekend.

I haven't. We drove by and around it quite a bit this summer taking the dogs to lower baker. I tagged out early last year and didn't get to hunt much this year. Sounds like a good place to explore- is there a lot of unposted land there?

rboot · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 15, 2011, 09:51 AM »

I've been going in on baker road, there are a few posters on the lower side but I was going way back in. Their is a Giant in there that I chased around for a week. here's some of his sign.

CJiceaddict · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 15, 2011, 10:07 AM »

Holy crap! Thats one big deer. Hopefully he'll be even bigger next year!

rboot · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 15, 2011, 10:08 AM »

Unless he got stupid and got killed this last bow season he'll be around.

bullpine · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 15, 2011, 06:41 PM »

The rub in the background is nice too. Lot bigger deer then I ever saw in VT some 30 years ago when I was living there. I really like how its tines marked the tree higher up! You do need some ice there though as deer season is over. Been out on the ice twice in North Idaho already. 4 inches of spooky clear.

I have to work tomorro in springfield rboot. I will go down to hoyts and check it out.

rboot · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 08:09 AM »

awesome, please let us know, I imagine everything has melted now, have to start all over again.

vtshantyman · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 09:33 AM »

ok so we are about 2 weeks behind

but who on here thinks that we will have ice as late or later than last year

rboot · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 09:44 AM »

one year ago tomorrow I was on a good 4 inches of ice on a setback, so we're way behind!

vtshantyman · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 09:49 AM »

ya i hear ya i have been on the ice the week before Christmas for the last two years

VT snotrocket · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 11:18 AM »

Definatly way behind. My shanty was on 8" of good ice on 12/24/10. The sad thing is I am going to check some ice out tomorro and I realy don't expect much. I realy enjoy the early ice in December. This just rots.

Now that has to be cool when you get a lunker on to see it. Have not seen clear ice in many many many years.

Found two lakes today that are completely iced up. Just under two inches on both. With the next two days being cold I think I'll try to get out Sunday or Monday.

vtpike · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 16, 2011, 01:23 PM »
