cool. good job

I am not that old, but what ever happened to asking politely and not having to pay to hunt-just helped out with chores, etc.? I guess I struggle with the whole lease thing in that I cant afford it, but even if I could, I sure as heck wouldnt pay a lease. When did hunting turn into a “he or she with the most money wins”? Wonder why more kids dont hunt…hell cant even afford to get ground to hunt. It is snowballing and that is a shame…

Sorry to jack your thread.

Congrats. Looks like you are getting a few.

I guess I should ask what type of tackle bags or tackle boxes do you guys use to put your hair jigs in? I am looking for something to put all of my jigs in to take fishing. thanks

Same thing happened last year with my 3 year old son. Needless to say this year he stayed on the sled the whole time until it was go time. He still remembered falling in. I also learned to do a little scouting ahead of time and when it was his turn to go we went to the spot set the tent up and then drilled the holes. The fish did not cooperate too well but we had fun and stayed dry. Wet or not the trips are less than an hour although wet it was only as long as the drag out, holes drilled, fell in, and the race back to the vehicle. I know your feeling.

Get a hold of LenH… he is a septic pro! J/k hope you get it fixed.

I saw a guy do this once on the river. How stupid can a person be? Anyway after the second little gill hit the ice with snow kicked over (away from his pile he was keeping) I told him they dont get any bigger laying dead on the ice. He just turned around away from me and I did not see him do it anymore- not to say that when I left he didnt keep doing it. Im pretty sure that is illegal in Wisconin.

Wife cant even make it…no wonder the kids cant. I agree with the car seats, no way could you pack it in there that bad if you tried.

Wow- what a wealth of information. This is great. Keep em coming! Thanks

Awesome story and great buck. Congrats!

Yeah, glad it was found. Happy owner now I bet.

x2!!!!!!!!!!

I am with ya! Everyone comes out of the wood work for it. Not to mention the switch to a river zone. That is the biggest joke.

4 yrs ago neither my wife or i received tags. it happens

Sorry to hear the news. We are thinking of you guys.

On Tuesday afternoon, Vandaly mentioned that I should make posters and hang them around town and the area that I lost her so on Tues after school I made my 1 1/2 hr journey back to Onamia. I returned to the marsh with about and hour of good light left and searched through the thick cattails and grasses. The wind had finally subsided and the temp had warmed to about 38 degrees from the chilly 10 degrees that it had been the 2 night prior. I searched until dark and went to the many houses along the lake asking again if they had seen her and giving them a poster that I had made that had in print; a large pic of her, Missing, her name, my phone number, and a cash reward of $500, in hopes that now people would begin to help me search and pay closer attention.

I placed the posters on all sign posts in the area and on a tree next to the road near her dog bed with my t-shirt that I left. All of which could be seen from one of the houses overlooking the lake and where the homeowners were aware of Rosies disappearance. I also placed posters in town at most restaurants, bars, hardware stores-the town of Onamia is small, Lansing size so I was able to visit most businesses that night.

On my drive home it hit me that this is now the third night, its very cold out, the lake is iced over and still nobody has seen her. My insides just hurt not knowing what happened or even if she was still waiting someplace for me. Within a few minutes, I received a call from a gentleman named Joe. He said that he seen the poster in the Cederwood restaurant and called me right away. He explained that he thought he had seen a dog that looked like the poster picture of Rosie, just sitting, waiting as he went in and out of the post office on monday and that he was almost sure it was her from the looks. He mentioned that he thought it was unique that she was there sitting but nobody else was around. He then explained that today his wife thought that she had seen a dog, similar to the picture, walking by the library/depot around 4:00 today. Finally, he said that we really think it was her and that she is hanging around town, not to give up looking and that it would be worth coming back up.

On Wed. morning, I received a text from a women, Vicki that worked at the restaurant and she was going to go out with her male chocolate lab and look in the area. I called and spoke with Joe again and wanted to ask a few more details, he said that he had spoke to someone else and that they had thought they also had seen her near the post office on Monday.

So at 11:00 on Wed, Ket and her dog Bella and I drove back up. The day was warmer with little wind. I dropped Ket and Bella off and they began their search with a handful of posters. I then drove around the areas that were mentioned as possibly being seen at as well as stopping at the school, bus company, post office and anyone that I seen outside.

After a few hours I get a call, now about 3:30, to come and pick up Ket. She had spoken with several people and had not heard or seen a thing. My hopes were now lessoning but I wanted to at least find her. I descided that I would take Bella to the marsh and search one last time. We started our journey in, thick grasses, cattails, swamp and Bella on my heals, literally. She first wasn’t sure what to think being that she has never been in this “stuff” before and wanted to run back but realized that she was “in” and didn’t leave my heals. We walked through the thickest grasses, but all of it is thick, for about a 1/2 hr. and making it to a small area of higher ground about 30 yrds from the last spot that I had seen Rosie, 4 days earlier. I slowly scanned the area and stopped, Bella stuck her nose down in the grass, hurried past me about 10 feet, turned around, hurried back past me a couple feet, stopped, stuck her nose in the grass to one side of the trail and then stuck her nose into the other side of the trail. All of a sudden, about 10 feet from me in the thick grass something which I thought for a split second was a coyote started coming towards me. I yelled for Bella to get over here but she just kept her heard in the grass. The movement came towards us very quick and as it got about 2 feet away a little brown head popped out of the grass, My Rosie found me.

He noticed that his shirt he left there was moved around and he also had another dog with him and the other dog actually found her. I think that the shirt kept her in the area. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for the tip. He did it yesterday so hopefully it works.

Yeah it was this past sunday the 11th. Unfortunately that is not his dog. To all-he is offering a $500 reward.

Thanks, us too and anyone that might know someone up there please pass this info on to them.

Thanks.

I will let him know and thanks a million for the advise.

Where did you get yours mounted at?

sounds good please do. Has this person done a lot of bears?

Same problems with mine. Make sure your priming bulb is tilted up a little bit. Level or pointing down will “starve” the motor of fuel. Give it a try…its free.

Really?????? You are using food to attract game…plain and simple! I am not against it, just saying.
