did some work

 Well, I got my boat back from the canvas maker and this is what he came up with. 

The windshield cover unsnaps and comes off while leaving the cockpit cover on... I like the fact that it will keep the bugs off the windshield and the foam on the back will soften the blow of any wayward rocks.

As far as what I did this week I crushed cans, changed out my water heater (with Cliff's help), got my chair base put in, and got my fish finders mocked up to mount. Next week I'll be putting them on and changing out the old electrical board with a new marine post set up.

Gotta go, til next week be safe. 

week 1

 Well, the boat is at the canvas makers this week to finish the cover I wanted. The garage is cleaned out and I have even started to work on getting my lures ready. So much to do and get ready I already feel overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. I got some small stuff done this week that needed to be done. I'm hoping that my boat will be done next week so I can get to work on it. I also need to schedule time for my mechanic to rebuild the carbs. That's the only other thing that I'm not doing. Alot to do and a short time to do it in.... As soon as I get the boat back I'll be sure to send out the pics.....

 

Side note- I'm sure you don't know but skunk pelts are at an all time high. I've heard of tails reaching 80 bucks...😱 So as I was making my rounds this week I passed 2 on the road. I called my furrier and asked if he was still taking fart kitty's, he told me he was so I picked 'em up and drove to his house to drop 'em off.

Needless to say- if you're going to cash in on the road kill skunk trade. I would suggest you carry around some bags, a seal-able air tight container, and some disposable gloves.....

Wait a sec so I can write that down.

Ok, yeah I hope the smell dissipates quickly.  😵

When I dropped 'em off my furrier wasn't home but I'm hoping to get paid this Sunday after work... I'll keep you informed. 

Seasons end and Seasons begin......

 Spent my final day afield on Monday trying to take a coyote... or even see one. I thought I would be in for a good day when on my way to my first stand, I cut a track that was still steaming... Well, I called all day and had 0 luck on pulling one to the call... If I get froggy during March I might give it another try but as we both know March is fix the boat month, sooo...

I did however see some good sign for the season after boat fixit month.

Oh yeah, it'll be turkey season sooner than you know.

Damn is it hot.....

 I was feeling a little better about going coyote hunting on Tuesday when I saw the forecast. It was spose to be starting around mid 30's and warming to 50.... I bounced at noonish when it hit 60 and I hadn't seen a track. I did see more than a few turkey tracks and even found a roost tree (wish I took a pic).

Yeah no snow, warm weather and miles put on. I made over a dozen sets and only managed to call in a couple hawks and many eagles.

Next week looks much better.... keep your fingers crossed for me.🤞🤞

I did get the garage cleaned out and ready for fishing season. After next week I am going to be working on the boat. I hope to get the cover back soon, and I got my boat guy doing a carb job on it to start the year.

Another season...

 Has come to an end, I just had my last goose hunt of the 25-26 season. I didn't get limit but I had an awesome day on the river. It was my first hunt down there this year and it didn't disappoint.

This is the upstream look

My spot

The view from my spot

The geese unfortunately wanted to be down in the basin area because of the wind. They just couldn't make it in to my spot because of the trees... at least they didn't want to work that hard. So I made an executive decision and made a move 20 yards past the the tree laying over in the first pic. 

 

This is where I ended up hunting and shooting 2 of my geese

This was my view where I ended my day

Super nice day to be out..... this spot isn't so much about limits as much as it is just good memories.
