What are you hunting/fishing?
-
I love fishing for trophy bluecats. I also do some guiding on the weekends. Here are some of the fish we catch at Milford lake in Kansas.

A little off the topic, but related. This weekend I was doing chores outside all day and a yearling was hanging out and acting odd, I couldn’t shoo it out of the pond edge. It would just stand there. Mouth was bloody. It was there all day before succumbing to a coyote after dark.
I spoke with KDWP and it is likely to have been EHD or “blue tongue” as it’s often referred to. This is the 4th one the warden has been made aware of within a 10 mile radius. They think there is an outbreak. EHD is transmitted by a midge that has to bite the deer. Breeding grounds for the midge are often related to livestock feeding and CAFO’s. Our regions livestock auction sale barn is right smack dab in the middle of where the infected deer have been reported.

RafterW we had a huge EHD outbreak up here. They offered full refunds in 22 of our units!

ND Mike We are having a bit of a problem here due to the long dry summer. The deer ticks and mites along with the low water levels contributed to the problems. The biologists are saying we should have lower problems after we have our snowpack started and first good hard freeze.

RafterW that is a sad sight. It is interesting that the auction is centrally located to that outbreak. Im sure there is a correlation.

I hunted this buck the whole muzzle loader season. I passed on numerous smaller bucks hoping this buck would show up in the daylight. 
Nothing like waiting till the last 15 minutes of the last day. But it paid off. 
Got my skinning crew all hooked up. It just amazed me how good my kids have gotten at this. They are now 11 and 12 years old. They’ve been doing this since they were 5. 
back straps and tender loins are coming out. 
2hrs and 20min. from the time of the shot til the meat is on ice to bleed out for 3 or 4 days.

johnsbrewhouse sounds like our summer. We have had a couple of hard freezes already. We were in the teens for lows last night. I’m now worried about a hard winter on the already decimated population in some areas. I’ve seen 1 deer in 2 months around Bismack!
