Deer don't hang out in the road. They scamper. But sometimes you'll see them come out of the woods and you will slow down and lock eyes with the animal. You see that the deer sees you, so you speed back up again - then the dumb bastard runs right in front of you.
Deer are either the dumbest creatures on the planet or they are all super depressed and suicidal.
That's a badass vid my dude. Love the seclusion of that trail.
i got a bunch of white tail deer that hang out in my neighborhood.when i leave for work in the morning the dumb fuckers will be crossing the road like clockwork somewhere in a 2 km stretch between my house and the lake. if one crosses there are at least 3 right behind it
Elk is delicious! I wish I had more access to it in the Chicago area. The Gage on Michigan Ave. does an incredible roast saddle of elk (basically a double loin cut). I finally found a game meat shop out in the boonies and went and grabbed some elk strip steaks, it was the only cut they were carrying at the time.
It's super lean, so you can over cook it very easily. Anything beyond medium, and it will be shoe leather.
My sauce was figs, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries reduced in a cranberry lambic with a couple cinnamon sticks.
Served it with some some rustic smashed potatoes mixed with brie cheese (I fucking love brie cheese)
God awful picture, but you can still see I kept it medium rare, as it should be.
Man, I need to get back out to that place and get some more of these, but certainly get a thicker cut next time around.
How much would those two strips run you?
There are a couple mule deer that hangout downtown. If you aren't careful they will fuck you up especially if you have a dog with you.
I'm looking to get set up possibly this year as I only have a casting reel, can you recommend some gear for beginner fly rod?
That's kind of you - and I can do that if you'd like, but I don't really consider myself a photographer. I just like taking pictures - and occasionally some of them turn out.
Assuming you are talking about the reflection picture - it was just a very still morning. Here's a shot of what I was seeing from the shore:
We were there in October so we basically had Yellowstone and the Tetons to ourselves. It was pretty awesome. When we pulled into Jenny Lake - which is usually a lake filled with paddle boats and swimmers, there was nobody around. It was very peaceful, except for my wife who was utilizing her new "scare the bears" tactic of shaking pennies in an empty water bottle.
So instead of taking the normal shot of the skyline, I took a picture of the reflection of the skyline on the lake itself, knowing I'd flip it upside down in post production with hopes that the shoreline pebbles would create a cool effect.
All comes down to using lures at certain times of day. Sometimes the fish just aren't biting.
From what I've learned using proper lures in overcast or sunny conditions will increase your success.
Although this is what I have been told. Im a terrible fresh water fisherman. Open ocean I am a slayer of fish!
Edit: also was informed to learn what fish like to eat/what insects are present in the area you are fishing worms/flies etc

Beauty!That's kind of you - and I can do that if you'd like, but I don't really consider myself a photographer. I just like taking pictures - and occasionally some of them turn out.

Heard great things about the panther martin, green more specifically. Never had any success myself but I'm bloody terrible at freshwater fishing.the only lure you will ever need in the okanagan
single barbless hook of course
More of an excuse to drink beer!
This is what I do. I check out the bugs around the water I'm fishing and either pick a lure that best matches the bugs, or just catch the bugs themselves and go old school and just bait them up on the hook.
E to SE Ohio and most of West Virginia are experiencing the Brood V Cicada invasion right now. I was in SE Ohio twice in the last few weeks and those things are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. The bass are already feeding on them, so I put the lures away and just baited my hook up like I used to do when I was 10 years old and used worms. Worked like a charm.

I'm going to be honest here. I didn't even know they made barbless hooks. Do you lose many fish using barbless? I assume this is for making it easier - on both fish and fisherman - to remove the hook?
That's how I set my nieces and nephews up. Gives them something to look at and they get super jazzed when the bobber bounces.
No, it's called highway 3 AKA Crowsnest highway. Dangerous in the winter as you can tell especially between a small town called Elko and Fernie.
I don't recall. They were worth it though, except next time I'm getting at least an inch thick cuts so I can get some char while staying medium rare.
Here's where I got them.

I hate them but it is the rule in any river or stream in our area.barbed hooks are allowed in lakes but never treble hooks
Barbless hooks are so you don't wreck the fishes mouth when you release them.its a big deal for steelhead which are mostly catch and release or daily limit of 1.kokanee have soft mouths and barbed hooks mess up their bottom jaws if not done right.
Makes sense. Barbed trebles can be a bitch if the fish gets a good mouth on it. I've had to cut the barb off to get the hook out on occasion.
