I’ve told you about Harrop Lake before. This makes something like the seventeenth year in a row that I’ve gone north to this particularly spot with my friends and family. What’s so great about this particular spot? Well, this is the view from my cabin:

Actually the view is great, but it’s the fishing that matters right?

I get a pile of google hits regarding Tred and his health status. As such I thought I’d let you guys know that he is still out there making his show. He recently dropped by Bowsite and gave an interview with Pat.

2 Minutes from going home a failure… but soccer is boring right?

Growing up my father was a duck hunter who occasionally returned to his bird hunting roots. I was in a duck blind at a young age. I’m sure he put up with a lot of annoying crap in order to drag me along.

Obviously that exposure eventually became a big part of who I am, and what I do. For that, and many other things, I’m eternally grateful.

As I got older my grandfather exposed me to deer hunting. A few years later I started teaching myself to bowhunt with considerable help from friend and loyal reader CA-Chucky. Around that time The Old Man started going rifle deer hunting with me. I gutted his first deer or two, and we worked together on a few fantastic deer and elk hunts. Then he bought a bow… We were going to bowhunt in Montana for big elk. He practiced a great deal and at the moment of truth he made a lethal shot at 40 yards:

His first arrow ever was a bull pushing 340! I hope it’s not the best animal he ever kills, but right now it’s the one he has on the refrigerator! Congrats, happy Father’s Day, and thanks.

The Wife and I are back in Kansas safe and sound. Our trip included broken motors, broken bones, and big fish… I’ll give you a more detailed update when I find some free time. For now I’m trying to cram 5 days of work into 3 days… oh, and the rivers are flooding…

I’m off on this trip again. It’s one of the things I enjoy the most each year. I’ll have some pictures when I get back on Tuesday night. I also have a post or two that will run while I’m gone…

The Daily Limit has recently been in Boston trying to become more educated. I saw a game at Fenway, ate lobster, and traveled the Freedom Trail, among other things. I also attended class from 8:00 to 5:30 each day! Thursday morning I leave for Canada and my docket is packed between now and then… I’ll try and find time to write a bit, but no guarantee.
