Dear List, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving! I went to the woods behind the house this morning hoping to add a fresh pheasant to my wild spring gobbler roasting in the oven. Got my shot! And missed him clean with the fusee!!! A beautiful crisp clear morning in the woods with an inch of old squeaky cold snow under every footstep. 6 degrees above and hardly a slight breeze at all. I started the hunt by just sitting and listening. I then did a low rabbit distress call for any Red Drifters nearby. None appeared so minutes later rattled some and grunted to see what might show up. Had a small whitetail buck come by. Finally watched the beautiful sunrise and gave thanks. Walked all over the back 70 and jumped 6 pheasant and missed the one shot I got. Couldn't understand why my neighbor wasn't on his stand on such a wonderful morning to hunt. Must be only one reason for that, he filled his tag. Sure enough during my pheasant hunt I came across a fresh drag trail in the snow where someone dragged out a deer to the tracks of a rig, probably yesterday. Good for him. Found two rat dens in the frozen marsh. Sneaked up to them on the ice then thumped them with my foot to hear the muffled sound of the rats hitting the water inside to escape. I bet they were all nice and dry too. Sorry Mr. Rat. Thats the life of a mushrat. Might go chop holes in the ice in a week or two to catch a few of them after they are good and prime, maybe not. Saw light coon and fox tracks where their dirty paws barely dusted the frozen marsh ice as they cruised along looking for a meal. Watched another five hundred or so Canada Geese take off and fly up river. A few minutes later heard some distant booming like rumbling thunder as the boys up river a ways took some with their big bore .12 and .10 gages. Hope they got some and are having fun with there sons, daughters and friends. Got nothing today, what a great hunt! Life is grand, isn't it? Happy Thanksgiving! bb - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 10:26:07 -0800 From: "roger lahti" Subject: Re: MtMan-List: An Old Man's Hunt Ad, Nothing says you have to hunt with your high power in the high power season, or is there a rule? Good luck. Capt.

Wes, Ken Woody, and Larry Belitz. Am I missing anyone. Are there a whole bunch of guys out there making tipis? I mean guys (or gals) that are doing it for a living like Wes. bb - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 20:43:51 -0700 (MST) From: beaverboy@sofast.net Subject: MtMan-List: Bird Bags I know this is too late for this year and may be nothing new to some of you but I thought I'd post it. I cooked my wild turkey today in an oven bag. I've used these oven bags before on grouse but never with a wild turkey before. It was the best wild turkey I've ever cooked! Like a lot of you, I just skin my birds, big and small, to avoid a lot of work and mess in plucking them. These bags act as a skin to keep them moist while baking. The one I used even came with a seasoning package. It was as moist as any store bought bird I've eaten. I was very impressed with the color, moisture, and taste. It was a gooder! Have a wonderful evening! bb - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2003 12:53:04 -0800 From: "Candi Smith" Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Bird Bags Beaver Boy, You might try this the next time you go to cook any bird, turkey, grouse or whatever. You take a standard paper bag, like from the grocery store, then melt a stick of butter or margarine in the microwave or on the stove, then coat the inside of the entire bag. Once the bag is fully coated place the bird in breast down. Then place in a standard roaster and no lid. This way the bird is basted the entire baking time and by placing the breast down all the juices make it just a moist as the rest of the bird. By doing the bird this way there is no need to stuff the bird either. Often times I will put a sprig of rosemary inside and rub some sage, salt and pepper on the outside. The bird comes out great everytime. Just something to think or try the next time you go to roast a bird.

I took half a plate of that wild Tom to work Friday and all the guys enjoyed it. I also saw my neighbor last night. I asked him how big his deer was. He shot a very nice (big) 4x5 whitetail! He took me to his house to show me the rack. I was impressed and really happy for him. He then told me he shot it just about where I got mine. That's cool, I thought to myself. Then he said, "I shot it sitting in your stand". Then I was bummed! ha Oh well, that's the beauty of hunting!! You never know whats going to happen.
