Hardwater weekend with @groves_al and @alexd_outdoors We jigged up smelt as bait for our tipups and caught some mixed species. Splake was most willing to bite and provided us with a tasty fish fry. Black Crappie also hit the jigs but it was slow for target species of northern pike, lake trout and walleye. Always a good time and lots learned, there is no graduation day in the school of the woods.

I'm going to be clicking my tongs twice, a lot this summer.
Made camp for a long weekend in the Adirondack woods for buck season with a few skilled sportsmen. We tried sits, drives, and spot and stalk hunting. I saw a few doe but never put eyes on a buck until Adam put one down in its tracks just after first light on a sit overlooking a deep saddle. Him and JP got it dressed and half way down a mountain, we carried it back into camp on a beech pole and temps finally cooled off just right to let it hang and age. There is satisfaction in this challenge and camp memories made. I'm hopeful my skill will match my enthusiasm and I'll get a shot at one on the next trip.
Once a year we celebrate wild game at Squirrelfest with recipes cooked over and around the fire. Squirrel Biryani, Squirrel Empanadas, Squirrel on a Stick, Squirrel Confit with Pumpkin in Brodo..to name a few... all washed down with homemade pie and beverages. Shoutout to @broadloomhdc for organizing and @whittemoreccc for hosting.
Terrific weekend helping keep an Adirondack tradition alive with @lean2rescue and @twotonadk.
F**k around and find trout!
