This week was really slow for me out in the field. I haven’t been seeing a single deer and I am
starting to worry about getting skunked this season, at least buck wise that
is. The way it has been going I might
not even get a doe, my friends keep telling me to be patient but that is pretty
difficult when the best to hunt is coming to a close and will be here before I know
it. I hope they are right when they tell
me that I will get something, they seem pretty positive so I will give them the
benefit of the doubt and listen to them.
With the temperature and signs of snow spear to become more and more
visible I am getting excited for one thing and that is ice fishing.
Winter
has always been one of my favorite times of the year simply because I like ice
fishing a lot. Sure all the other things
that go along with winter are nice as well, but some years we do not get a lot of
snow, so I can’t ride my sled around. It
does always get cold though, and cold weather equals ice. Ice fishing does freak a lot of people out,
just the thought of being out over the water gets to people, not me. I do realize there is a ton of stuff that
could go wrong while on the ice but there are safety precautions you can to
assure a safer trip. We always go out
with a group of guys and that’s a blast.
We
gather our shanti’s early in the morning and are sitting by day break. Also we never hit the ice equipped with our
heaters, grills, and whatever we want to drink that day. Whether its brats or hot dogs coffee or
whisky we very rarely go on the ice without what we need to ensure a
comfortable and fun day.
I think that we will be able to sit on the water by
Christmas time with all the cold weather we are supposed to get. Also the water level is up so I will be able to
go where I usually like to go. Hopefully
there is an abundance of perch this year, I need more because I just fried up
my last three bags last week. I am
itching to get out there, almost as bad as I am to actually shoot a deer this
year.
