Sexploitation and HDW-Mobile

The yellowstoner has noticed it has been three weeks since my last post.



I've been in a bit of a shell shocked state since the closing of the season, a heartbreaking post of staggering genius to come shortly...

Fall cast and blast IV

Today I did morning and evening blast and no cast as we really did have to do the winterizing.

Some landscapes with gun and dog. My Brother took these so no claim as to composition or real pic value.




Some shotgun pron.


and no boyds but me & and the dog had a good time.

The one on the top is my grandfather's Winchester 12 gauge model 1897 total take down made in 1913.The one on the bottom is my uncle's 1985 Montie Ward WesternField 20 gauge. This is the same Winchester as above with two ducks and my grandfather in 1958.


No woodcock or grouse were harmed in the production of this blog post.

Fall cast and blast III

Decided to flip the day and fished first and then did the bird hunt this evening. In an an effort to work on the south shore coaster projetc we went after the lake runs this morning. Hit one of the U.P. streams with one of the greatest stream names ever.






Some dead stuff on the stream bank.




We brought home some Lake Superior Coho.

And this evening the shotguns were exercised. The woodcock and the grouse remain unscathed.

It's the circle of life, really: man drops iPhone in river while fishing, iPhone dies, iPhone is torn apart, iPhone becomes fishing lure, iPhone catches dinner. Life goes on.

Fall cast and blast II

Day 2 results much similar to Day 1. Grouse flushed with none accidently flying into the direction that the birdshot was flying. The day was warm and the dog got a work out. Here he is lying down on the ground drinking from his bowl refusing to make eye contact with me because he is so disappointed in one half of the team.


As usual the cast portion of the day went much better.





With no grouses to bring home I took a couple of trout for the old man back at the cabin.


There are essential vitamins and nutrients in fresh caught brook trout that are very beneficial for 86 yr olds.

Fall cast and blast

under the "time to close the U.P. cabin" category I did the late night north woods run after work Tuesday. Headed out Weds morning with the dog and the shotguns, left the camera at home, and the hunting was good but the shooting was bad, which is our traditional family way. Spent the afternoon on stream.

some of the locals trouts.
