December 26th in Northern MN and I haven't had to even start the truck once yet this winter. I did finally find a use for it today.

Barry, I caught that one almost exactly 3/4 of a mile behind my house on a pond I have to walk in to. That said, I would GUESS it was 45-50 pounds when I caught it and somewhere close to 800 pounds by the time I got it packed back to the garage.

that extension cord may spark next time you use it.
Does that caring it out follow the Bergmann's Rule,in weight distribution

those meaty pieces really are like by the Pileated w/p here, once they are frozen in a mass

Yes and I would guess that I am at least 25 years senior to you.

Seems like the biggest ones are always the ones farthest from the truck.


Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

Even if we got 6 inches of snow tonight I still wouldn't be able to plow without being stuck in the mud. That old truck deserves a winter off and has earned it's keep around here.

One swoop and you’re done fleshing five or six hides with that!
