Have you heard if the trout stocking will be back to normal this year or will it be one big dump like last year because of covid restrictions?

I have not heard anything "official" yet which I assume they will announce on their February fisheries meeting which will be a Zoom or such presentation.  Unofficially, I am being told same as last year.  Early dumps but no WCC volunteers able to stock some of the rivers we help them stock.

Nice video.  I'll keep an ear open for the ambulance when you nail one of those trees on the mountain.  

Biking.  Hiking.  Shooting bows.  Shooting guns.  Haven't hit the slopes yet, but would like to ski a few times this year.

The usual exercise, lifting, etc.  

I've done some snowboarding with the kids when time allows. Really would like to get out west one of these days.

Haha Those trees are deffinitly coming up faster and faster now that the snow is packed down.  I guess the only good part is it will be easy to get me into the ambulance they can just roll me into my jetsled and slide me down the hill. The best is the looks I get from cars or the neighbors as I come down and ski next to the road  and into the driveway. We have to get together once it gets nice out and do some shooting.

I have a good buddy who was woking as a ski guide in the Aspen area for a while.  Great guy.  Had his left leg amputated below the knee when he was a baby and he never let that slow him down at all.  Dude was a great wrestler,  and now he spends his time skiing and mountain biking in one of the most beautiful places on earth.  I'll post a pic or 2 below.

Lol.  

For sure man.  Happy to get together as soon as the weather breaks.

Spring Muskrat Trapping ! No better time! They are breeding and very active after being trapped under the ice for a while! Can't wait! Traps will be full!

Patiently waiting for spring & the fishing that comes along with it. Early spring I will be all over the stripers starting in late March. Few things better than that first warm day in the back bay & the unexpected sunburn that goes with it.  Just typing it out gets me excited. 

From there I keep myself busy with fishing & golfing until September and then hunting starts all over again. Very cyclical and I love it.

I have been tossing around the idea of trying some turkey hunting this year, but most of my hunting is done on the weekend so the season isn't very long for me. Who knows, maybe with WFH being extend I will give it a try.

Looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday morning, then making breakfast for the grandkids

Once the snow melts , do some shed hunting and post season scouting . than when spring finally arrives. i am getting a new dual sport . honda 300 crfl i am so pumped to ride the trails and doing some exploring on it. makes me feel like a kid again riding . just so much fun!

Ice fishing season 

Slab crappie season 

Trout season 

Turkey season

Saltwater everything season (stripers, fluke, kayaking, spearfishing, triggerfish, tog, tuna, clamming, seabass, albies, bonita) notice I left out bluefish 😜 

 

Then back to early archery season and the vicious cycle repeats. 
 

If your passionate in all the disciplines then there’s never any down time.

Shed hunting!!! :)

[Greybeard]

Out twice with the camera after the snow.  Didn't go more than a quarter mile each time, and back.  Snow is over my boots and I refuse to try to sneak up on deer with snowshoes on.  Road bike is on the trainer in the bedroom for now, mountain biking once the trails are clear, on the roads with the road bike once they are clear of salt,  and shed hunting/scouting with camera after the snow is gone.  Maybe take a ride to PA for a day or two of turkey hunting, then it's garden time.  Everything that doesn't need social distancing or a mask.

[Bad64chevelle]

Predator hunting , snow goose hunting , shed hunting , crow hunting , maybe a nap or two . 

[Merkel]

Fly fishing, turkey hunting in NC and a family vacation if we can figure out where to go. Thought about Yellowstone but sounds like everyone and their brother are heading there.
