Years ago I made some ceviche with smallmouth out of Flaming Gorge (cold clear lake) and everyone thought it was great. But I really like the fried fillets or making fish chowder out of them.

Sounds like it was perfect. Thanks for sharing. I dream about getting out west and seeing the country and maybe getting to hunt something new in a new environment someday.

I started using 1/4” shackles. Found them to be much faster and easier to use than quick links. The ends of my chains have a large lap link, welded shut and often I will anchor by going around a tree/ log dropping a loop of chain through that lap link and then pass the trap through the loop. Hard to picture, perhaps. It is depicted in the Alaska Wolf Trapping Manual from the Alaska Trappers Association. I also use 1/8” 7x7 cable anchors with a tree lock set up and a simple loop at the other end. I will shackle or quick link that loop to the lap link. If available I prefer to anchor to a springy alder of wrist thickness that provides a bit of bounce. Those cables work past 50 plus foot length with no evidence of coming close to failing, in my experience.
My reason for anchoring solid vs. using drags is we can receive large dumps of snow that would hide any sign of where a drag may have gone.

Well now that's a very nice stretch. If we reference anything that might have been produced somewhere other than this country we must be illegal aliens?

Walleye po boys are great but I dont really think there's a bad way to prepare it. Has anyone tried to make ceviche with it? Wanted to give it a try but haven't got the nerve to pull the trigger yet.

Well, its the 3rd season with the kibler woodsrunner .54. I passed a lot of bucks last year and downed a mega spike the last day of the season. I really wanted a nicer buck this year. I passed on more this season and got it done at the end of general season. No need to wait for heritage season! I traveled into a new drainage that has now become my favorite. After crunching a mile in on thick frost on the trail from rain the previous day, I got my ol trusty army wool socks out and got to sneaking. It amazing how much more quiet a guy can be. I immediately saw a doe, but she was alone. At about 3 miles I bumped a doe at maybe 25yds. I saw her bounce, but through the thick stuff she couldn’t get a bead on me. I waited a moment and decided to creep 10 more feet to a lane. As soon as I got there I saw him. I couldnt see his rack that well. That said I could see enough, and he made the cut. His vitals were in a little opening and unlike the bow, I know when I’m on those short irons, the line of sight is the shot. The cloud of smoke went and when it cleared he wasn’t on his feet anymore. What a great way for my 10th notch to be a 10 pointer. Hes a short tined deer for sure, but this mountain deer will eat well Unfortunately, my boys (2 and 4) couldn’t see the kill like last year. That was the only bummer of the day. I got the 89lb pack down the trail and they were very happy to see daddy. Earlier this year, I also got a turkey at 65 paces offhand and a doe at 40 sneaking like I usually do. Throw in the cow with the longbow and this guy is ready to feed a family! Hope everyone is having luck and if not Im passing it off to you. The last photo was taken by a friend. I guided him and some brothers on a bunch of mulies in east MT. While out on the prairie we pass lots of dog towns. Theres only one way to unload the ol flintlock. Showed the boys what that gun can do. Might be the first man to ever shoot a prairie dog with a flintlock leaning off the hood. Something about it just felt right. 89 paces ore so!

PF the big rams weigh around 300+. Winchester Model 70 .308. Fifty yards. Not the steep angle 350 - 400 yards she was ready for if needed. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-20111-277335-retrieval.jpg) But the retrieval was perfect for this broken down old man. I had an old sled in the truck just so we could drag it to the truck and protect the cape, (and minimizing bend-over time for the sake of my back). I pulled the truck off the road in the ditch and backed up so the tailgate was just off the pavement. She pulled the halves up on the road. And we just pushed them up in the back.

I try to get most of my materials local at The Kingfisher, but if I cant find what im looking for Redds usually has it. Good hooks are especially hard to find here and theres not a lot of guys in my neck of the woods tying for bones and such. Whatcha tying up?

I got a call a few summers back for a dead deer. I asked how long it had been there. "Well, we've been smelling it for about two weeks." 85* every day, and with all that info, you still can't imagine what this thing looked like. It was moving. If there wasn't half a million maggots, there wasn't a one. I put disposable gloves on and grabbed ahold. Attempting to drag it to the truck. Only made it a foot, when the entire pelvis disconnected. I managed to get it into a couple construction bags and into the truck. My next stop was 30 miles away. I should have reversed my route of course. So all the way to the next stop, I can smell this foul thing. I just knew I stepped in the goo or got splattered. My reading glasses I hang on the front neck of my t-shirt, and apparently had touched them with my gloves on. The smell was inches from my nose the whole ride. I did not charge enough for that one. A hitch hauler is very useful. Yes sir! After that disgusting mess, I bought one just in time for the next one...the floater. And have carried quite a few fresh deer with it too.
