Fishing, and hunting reports (share yours)

On the topic of projectiles, I’ve been tempted to dust off the bow and try for a fox or two.

Any recommendations on fixed 2 blade double bevel broadheads? I’m so far out from it that the manufacturer of the last lot is no longer in business.

Any recommendations for traditional shafts would be good too.
Zwickey for solids and Muzzy for non. Both great.
 
Going through old photos, here's what's left of an old boar I took some years ago.

Looks to me like he was a righty:

Fishing and camping trip a week ago at Blue Mesa near Gunnison, CO. Great trip, if not a bit on the hot side in the 90’s most of the week. At least it cools off into the 40’s at night…

Target species were Kokanee Salmon, Lake Trout, and Perch. We did well, basically brought home limits of salmon (10 each), and ~30 Perch in the one afternoon we targeted them.

The pollen has been crazy here. This is the intersection of Hwy. 285 and Hwy. 24 near Salida, looking West at Mt. Princeton (14,197’). That’s a BIG wind-generated dust devil you’re seeing out there, filled with pine pollen… I’d estmate it goes up well over 13’000’ in the air, the ground is ~9,500’

Here’s more of the same. CLOUDS of pollen in the air on the West side of Monarch pass on the way home! 😬

Smoked the salmon up in the Recteq pellet grill last Sunday, after an overnight soak in a salt and brown sugar brine. Here’s the first batch right after I put it in, I had to do 2 batches we had so many filets!

Took about 4.5 hours at 180º. I diluted about 1.5 cup of honey with 3/4C of water, and glazed some of the filets every 20 minutes or so. Those honey-glazed ones turned out AMAZING! We have a local product here in Colorado called “Honey Smoked Salmon”, and this is WAY better!!!
