Managed to get a few bluegills to bite in some frigid water.

This girl was trying to get across the stream right after I changed the battery in my GoPro and turned it on. I tried to get my phone out so I could get some zoomed in footage, but she was too far away by the time the laggy thing was ready.

John catches a nice brown with the fly rod during the early season.

Managed to scratch 2 drakes out on the last day I could hunt. Paddy made a good retrieve on a wounded one that wasn't smart enough to dive. Got rid of all the crappy shells that were misfiring and not ejecting, and fell back on BBs. I strongly prefer 2 shot for mallards, but there's been a local shortage of those during this past duck season. I'll be stocking up on shells before next season.

The gun issues continue here. Lost a bufflehead that dove, those things are tough. Paddy got some retrieves in.

Every time you go to pick up dekes, action happens.

Every woodcock I've shot this year in slow motion. With an epic soundtrack. Luckily for you, there are only six!

On my way to do some upland hunting, I was able to get my turkey tag filled.

Corey and I scored some mallards on a pothole. For October these birds sure didn't wanna commit. Corey got a drake and 2 hens, and I got 2 hens. There was only one drake in the bunch.

Found a spot loaded with woodcock. I got 3 in 4 shots without moving much.

Here's some driftless fishing. Not much excitement other than not being able to seal the deal on a nice one.

Not a spectacular morning, but the one fish I caught was pretty decent.

Manguy catches a brown on the Kickapoo. He had leaky waders, and probably didn't wanna walk too far with two boots full of water, but I'm glad he got out and caught one.

John decides to be selfish and deny Paddy protein-packed fish flesh. Shame.

Every year I make it a point to sucker fish in the spot I grew up sucker fishing with my grandpa in. This year we were a bit early, but we managed one fish.

Caught my first cisco while ripping a spoon. The fish hit it on the drop, as it was supposed to. Unfortunately, the GoPro battery died during the fight.

Ash gets to see what snow's all about.

Self-explanatory.

Another poor showing on the Mecan River.

Mentos & cola, a winning combination.

Luna is having none of it.

Here's part 2 from Wyoming. There's more to come.

Here I hit up a short stretch of water and caught a few browns.

A better outing than the last. Kept a 13" brown, and caught some dinks.

The fishing has been pretty slow for me lately...
