Fast Forward to 2018

Posting has been minimal and for that I do apologize, but it hasn't been from lack of activities and spending our time on the ridges and the rivers that we named the blog after.  I will do a few rapid fire posts to bring everyone along our journey through the year to get everyone caught up.

Our fall was hectic and fur filled as we set steel in between our hunting outings and scratched that trapping itch.

We also visited this historic sporting camp with some really neat artwork that caught my eye!

A visit to Allagash to see the deer feeding was very productive in the deer spotting category and a giant buck fed nonchalantly at a mere 50 yards.  It is a very neat experience. 

We spent some time ice fishing and Drake really got hooked with his first solo salmon!

We also made our annual pilgrimage to Madawaska Lake for opening day and caught some nice stocked trout.  The camaraderie coupled with these "tail-less trout" is always a good time.  

As you can probably tell I am well into winter and past deer season, so you have probably already inferred the bad news, but the last item on my goals for 2017 of shooting a big buck never happened.  I did have some close encounters and put more time in the woods than I have in several years, so I hope I can use all of that time to point me in the right direction as the next season approaches!  Stay tuned for more adventures from 2018 coming soon!
