Don't sell yourself short. That first buck is a big'un. Real big. Too big to drag yourself big. I'm tellin ya da troof!

I'm taking mine with me this year and he's 4, we'll be in a ground blind so hopefully that helps with noise/movement on his part. he's been begging me to go, so I decided to get a ground blind and take him. I'm figuring it will be a deer watching trip, with the likelihood of putting one down being low, but you never know.

Finally got the culvert open. Took a 12 foot homemade rake and a lot of hard work, but we did it. You should have seen the s#@t fly when we punched through.

We dropped the water level over a foot in 24 hours.

We were 3 very tired old guys when we finished. Next step is to repair/improve the road and either replace the existing culvert with a larger one or to build a bridge over the creek.

Being in the bridge building business...I vote for a bigger culvert.

UuuuurrrP! Uuurrp! uurrrrrp!

phffffffffft, phffffffffft, phffffffffh (snort wheeze)

Just a friendly reminder Ryan because I'm not sure its SD law or not but remember to throw something orange on the exposed sides of that blind. Especially in a (more) open country rifle zone.

And Good Luck too!!

I don't care where your from. Thats a nice buck right thar!

thats a big buck right there, bigger than he looks,cause he's got a tank of a body

My vote was a bridge.

Yep. That's how they are up here. Decieveing on the racks.

Actually, I would too if you can build one for a reasonable cost and the DNR doesn't lay the clamps to ya.

Whether it is to be a bridge or a culvert, can I suggest pre-planting your demolition charges for future beaver intrusions?


That is a BIG buck with the North Country body style and all.

urrrrrrrrp!

crash, crash, ratlle

You need a gate to keep the beavers at bay.

I would build a ramp and jump it.

The coat rack and the secretary will never be the same.

Apparently, the rut hasn't completely started here yet.

Sadly, I feel nothing yet.

Too busy with other stuff i guess.

I don't know about that T, my youngest and our lab have been headbutting like crazy the last couple days and tearing up the lawn like you would not believe...

And with the amount of bathroom cleaning I have been doing of late seems like they don't seem to care where they make their scrapes dangit...

I used to hear that when I was married.

I'm unusually testy. Been tearin up door frames and coat racks all morning. You can follow the line right to my desk...
Weird.
