Re: Paradise tomorrow!
Why not me? Its ok though soon I will be in the sweet embrace of a float tube (that I pimped out) with a bait rod out a fly rod in one hand and a drink in the other in the middle of a lake in the middle of nowhere with nothin to look at but mountains and trees. If I feel friskey I might just pull out the speargun and have a go at that but its hard to drink and spearfish

Re: Paradise tomorrow!
We drive through the border, and it is a small float plane that takes us to camp!
Lord have mercie if they gave us hell for alcohol on the plane we would be screwed!
8 people, 2 cases of beer,and a bottle of liquor each, we are allowed 1 case or bottle each with out duty, but when we go through customs we pay duty on xtra!
Can't tell ya all my secrets.

Re: Paradise tomorrow!
Hey fellas, got back from the north this afternoon, feels good to be back home!
We did good on fishing the biggest walleye I caught was 12.5 lbs, it was awesome,we ate so much fish drank so much beer, and had a few bottles of good spirits,good cigars and a damn good time!!
but I was ready to come home it was chilly and wet most of the time,start the wood stove when we arrived and never let it go out until we left.
The flight in was a little nerve racking, 200-300 feet above the tree tops, because the cloud ceiling was so low, but damn the tail winds pushed us along at about 180 mph, they were strong!!
So while we were up in the north we were talking to the owner of the camp down the lake from us, who does moose hunts so we put a deposit down for 6 of us to go on a bow moose hunt in 2014 yea haaa!
I have been moose hunting up there 2 times I my self have never shot one but the first year we got 2 bulls on 32" and one was 53", the second hunt we ended up with 1 it was 50", these were gun hunts late in their season, so the moose were out of rut, damn those things are huge!
