SCENES FROM CAMP

BACK TO REALITY FOR JASON.

HE NO LONGER HAS OODLES OF TIME OFF.

HERE ARE A FEW PICS FROM OUR HUNTING

UP NORTH DURING RIFLE SEASON.

 

 

HERE'S THE "POWER LINE" STYLE SHOOTING LANES

VIEWED FROM MY NEW CUSHY HEATED TOWER STAND.

 

 

ON THE NEARBY STATE LAND...

OUR PLAN TO INTERCEPT THE BUCK JASON SAW

TWICE

BY THE LARGE PINES ON THE LEFT

AS HE CROSSED TO THE SPRUCE POINT ON RIGHT:

 

FAILED

 

HE EITHER OUTSMARTED US

OR IS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S FREEZER.

JASON IS CONVINCED THE PINE ISLAND

 IN THE SWAMP IS THE BUCKS "HOME".

 

KIND OF HARD TO SHOOT A BUCK

224 YARDS (RANGED) AWAY WITH HIS BOW.

I PARKED IT ON THE GROUND

 WITH MY RIFLE HALF WAY IN BETWEEN JASON'S STAND

 & THE SIGHTING LOCATION.

 

 

"THE TUNDRA"

OUR NEW STAND LOCATION

SHOWING THE LAY OF OUR PROPERTY

FROM IT'S LOWEST POINT.

 

 

WATCHED A LOT OF BIRDS FROM THE STAND.

 

 

PRESTON SHOT THIS NICE FORK WITH MY FATHER'S 308.

HE EARNED THAT BUCK, GETTING IT THE LAST WEEKEND.

 

 

JASON WAS PRETTY PROUD.

PRESTON HAS SHOT 3 BUCKS, 3 YEARS IN A ROW NOW.

SPIKE, 7, 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 



MN WOLF HUNT

I NEVER TIRE HEARING ABOUT THE MINNESOTA WOLF HUNT!

IT'S FASCINATING TO THINK WHAT CAN BE LEARNED

 FROM OUR PIONEER SEASON OF WOLF HUNTING HERE IN THE STATE.
 

THE FOCUS IS AN EFFORT TO...

"ENSURE THE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL OF THE WOLVES

IN MINNESOTA WHILE ADDRESSING WOLF-HUMAN CONFLICTS"

 

startribune

CONGRATS TO THE NEW FACE OF WOLF HUNTING!
ABOVE IS GARRETT M.
HE'S FEATURED IN THE OUTDOOR NEWS.
THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT.

SOCIAL MEDIA TO CONSIDER:
 

FOR THE HUNT~ HUNTWOLVES.COM

THEY'VE DUBBED THE WOLF THE "NEWEST GAME SPECIES"
 

AVIDLY AGAINST THE HUNT~HOWLINGWOLVES.COM

THEIR "FACTS" STATE THAT ONLY 91 CONFIRMED

CASES OF LIVESTOCK WERE KILLED IN 2011.

MY MOM'S COUSIN LOST 1O CALVES THIS SPRING.
DO FARMERS EVEN BOTHER CLAIMING LOSSES?
10 CALVES ARE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

DNR WOLVES

HERE IS A QUESTION THAT I WAS PONDERING:

DID THE DNR CONSIDER THE HUNT MORE BECAUSE

OF PRESSURE FROM LIVESTOCK FARMERS

OR WERE THE LOOKING FOR INCOME?

IS THE DNR'S AMBITION SOLELY FOR THE ANIMAL?

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?

I SUPPORT THE HUNT, REGARDLESS OF THE POLITICS.

I STILL RESPECT WOLVES & THINK THEY'RE MAJESTIC,
JUST LIKE DEER.

 



Gerber

WE LOVE OUR GERBER PRODUCTS.

 THEY DESERVE TO BE SHOWCASED HERE

ON OUR BLOG BECAUSE THEY ARE:

 

 AMAZING.

 

AMAZING.

 

AMAZING.

 

WE'VE BEEN USING THEM FOR YEARS.

I'VE HAD THE AX SINCE I WAS ABOUT 17 YEARS OLD.

 

THEY OFFER A VARIETY OF AX STYLES.

THE HANDLES ARE STURDY, FILLED SOLID, NOT BRITTLE PLASTIC.

THE HEADS DO NOT COME OUT. EVER.

 

IF YOU HUNT LIKE US,

A GOOD KNIFE IS REQUIRED.

I USE THE GERBER GATOR FOLDING KNIFE.

YOU'LL LOVE THE GRIP,

NO SLIPPING.

 

JASON USES THE HOOKED FOLDING ONE.

 

LAST CHRISTMAS WE GAVE OUR OLDEST SON THE

BEAR GRYLLS KNIFE.

 

IT'S A SURVIVAL TOOL.

I LOVE THAT YOU CAN GENTLY POUND

ON THE END TO CHISEL ARROWS OUT

OF TREES AT THE 3D ARCHERY SHOOTS!

 

IT HAS A WHISTLE & FLINT & RESCUE CODES.

 

 THEY USED TO MAKE THE *BEST* RIB SPREADER TOO.
THOSE ARE HARD TO FIND NOW.
WHEN I SPOTTED THEM ON EBAY,
I STOCKED UP & PURCHASED 3.

AT OUR SHOP, WE CAN ORDER:
MULTI-TOOL PLIARS (SUSPENSION))
SLIDING SAW
SHEARS
EXCHANGE A BLADE SAW
RACHETING PRUNER
PRUNER SET

JASON'S DAD IS A KERSHAW FAN.
MY DAD'S KNIFE WAS A SHRADE,
BUT HE ALSO USED BUCK.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KNIFE BRAND???
