I live in a suburban neighborhood adjacent to the Yellowstone River in Billings and it is not unusual these days to see bald eagles and ospreys cruising over a landscape of mowed lawns and SUVs.

That story would be awkward for your loved ones to write in your obituary if the beaver took you out

Thanks for the link Jeff. I hadn't seen that in years and it made me smile

Nice rig Mark. Congrats on the new family toy!

Wishing safe travels for your girls. What a great experience for them but I know you are anxious to have them home. My only advice would be to get that house cleaned up. I do my best (really!) to keep the place clean when my wife is gone but it is never clean enough for her!

Dave, When you say your "Huff"....is it the Chuck Huff MLB sneak boat?

Great pics and story. Thanks for posting. When I lived in SD I remember one trip on some kind of rotten ice on a backwater of the Missouri in early March when it was sunny and 45F. We pulled big bluegills up through the holes one after the other.

Did you get the lure?

Thank you all for your comments and the civilized discourse about the BWCA. There are some different perspectives that I had not considered before. I appreciate that on this site that contributors can disagree without name calling and angry rants.

Pete, it's a Ruger 10-22. The Vortex rimfire scope is on my short list. Thanks all for the comments and suggestions.

I have always shot my Ruger 10-22 with iron sights but the last couple of years I have to admit that my eyes struggle with the iron sights more than they used to! I am going to buy a scope in the $75-$150 range and wondering whether I need a variable scope (2x7 or 3x9) or would a fixed 4x best...

Nice morning Carl. Thanks for sharing. I am at work and our season is over so I enjoyed this post.

What a great day for you! Looks like your move to Kansas is working out. Thanks for sharing

That's great Mark. Congrats!

Turned in to a great hunting day for you! Thanks again for keeping us posted. I think those drake buffies are pretty little guys. I have a drake buffy decoy that our own Yukon Mike made for me. I stick him on the outside of my GE decoys and the little Judas draws in the buffleheads.

Carl, what do you do with those mergs? I once shot a hooded merg on a beaver pond when I lived in Georgia that swooped in with a bunch of wood ducks. Interestingly, it was full of acorns so I was hopeful it might be edible. I roasted it with three woodies in the pan. I left the house for a bit...

That black duck is a beaut

Congrats on your first spoonie. We used to see them by the thousands on some glacial lakes in eastern SD.
