My wife and I went out exploring to see what roads are drive abal or soon will be. As you can see we won't be launching the boat for a while.  I was looking for new P dog towns, the last few years has shown a huge migration and new towns all over. I found three in aur normal 4 county hunting areas.    And we checked out some of the older towns, they all came through the winter fins and look bigger.   ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I recognize a few of those places. avoid gumbo! Nice to see the standing ones, don't need to worry about bullet drop. The year my son and I hunted with you at Montague, he used a 17HMR. did good out to about135 yds, little wind that day. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

The snow is looking good...mostly gone. I'm surprised to see the ice is off the river. Is it usually gone this early? ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

This upper part it is normal. THE boat ramps we have to push ice out often to get the boat in. The big walleye will be up here in a week or so to spawn. If you go down stream 50 miles it will be still frozen I bet. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

The Ohio River near me is still ice crusted over, wide river and 30 foot deep. But no snow on the ground. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

We've had several days close to 60*. Last night we got a little snow and a chance of more today. I don't think it's supposed to amount to much. The last week or so was enough to get me through the rest of winter. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
