FIshin Trip

Last weekend the mnu fishin team took a trip down to the Table Rock Lake where they got to fish with professionals. They pros taught them a lot and gave them tips of how to become a better fisherman. One thing I believe that seperates britt and some of his teamates is the equipment. These pros have gps sytems that tell them where the drop off points are and they can see if there are big fish their; thats why the mnu fishing team is trying to raise money to go on more trips to learn more from these pros but also they are raising money for the new equipment they need.

Last Friday I took my girlfriend hunting. I took her to ladder stand that is built for two people. She doesn’t have a bow yet but she brought my dad’s 30 30 to shoot any coyotes that walk by. For most of the night we didn't see anything until right after the sun went down. There were seven does that came out of the NW corner of our field. Bre and I sat quietly as we watched the seven does come directly at our stand. Two of the does came directly under our stand. I had my phone with me and videoed the does for about seven minutes. I am still trying to figure out how to post the video.

Fish and Game Director in Idaho May Face Tresspassing charges

Fish and Game Director in Idaho May Face Tresspassing charges

"Cal Groen, director of Idaho fish and game is being investigated for tresspassing on private land without permission from the land owner." Cal claims that he was helping some friends harvest an elk. The group he was with thought they still had permission from the previous year. The landowner is wanting to press charges against him for being there without permission and for the group not having signed documents stating their permission to be on the land. I personally think that this is something that is being taken too far by the land owner and probably could have been handled without pressing charges. If the group had permission last year to hunt the land and no other arrangements have been made, then they should be fine to ask for help when harvesting an elk. Do you think the landowner is in the right or the wrong here?

October 2nd Hunt

To kick off this weekly blog about hunts in our area, I would like to tell you about the hunt that me and my brother Rustin shared this weekend. On Saturday October second we took a total of three deer with a bow. Two of the deer were Does and one was a seven point buck. The wind was blowing from the North North East and it was about 62 degrees out. Rustin had a stand positioned over a corn field that had just been cut, we had recently seen a lot of deer movement through that area. The deer had been getting up out of their bedding area and going to feed on the corn field. My stand was positioned about four hundred yards away off of a trail coming out of a bedding area. I was surrounded by thick pines with the wind at my back. My first doe was shot at fifteen yards at 5:00 pm. An hour and a half later Rustin took the seven point buck. The buck that Rustin shot came by me first after I shot the doe, I filmed the buck with my phone and then sent that video to Rustin. As he got done watching the video, he looked up and saw that very same buck. He then shot that buck and thirty minutes later shot a doe that walked past. It was a great experience to get to shoot three deer in one hunt with my brother.
