Very happy to have sourced some tiger trout to stock. Looking forward to catching my first one but I have a line on a public lake in the Spring. We won’t have enough in here to have a high catch rate.

Yet.

I am also happy to have received most of the perch jigs I ordered online.

I bagged my first moose. I met some great people from the forum. Lastly after a long recovery my dog was back to hunting full time, it was great to see him running around like a puppy again.

At the ripe old age of 76, I was beyond thrilled to shoot my first ever moose. Hubby and I celebrated our 25 anniversary.
My biposies came back negative.

It's been a good year

So many things to be happy and thankful for in 2021:
- we celebrated out 29th anniversary and still like each other.
- my youngest has worked extremely hard to overcome debilitating depression and anxiety. He is acting like a normal teenager and talking about the future
- I visited my parents and reconnected with a number of relatives after not being able to visit due to covid
- all our covid tests came back negative

It truly has been a good year!

Took a beauty bull elk in Sept, with my wife at my side. Played with that bull for like over two hours. Was an amazing day.!!

Spent my time in November working hard to get my daughter her first ever moose.

Another amazing day!! So many memories we made this year!

Able to find a job that respects me and provides me the freedom I need to get stuff done. Was fired at the end of last year so it's been quite the busy year. Was able to fold my moose tag and had a very exciting hunting season. It's been quite the good year for me.

So grateful that my wife and I finally bought a travel trailer this year! It wasn't always easy, but we managed to get out 7 times (30+ days) over the summer, and I used it in November to overnight while doing some solo hunting, something I've always wanted to do!

Thanks for the giveaway Vicky!. I bought a few things during the black Friday sale, they came in the mail a couple days ago and are now wrapped under the tree, I'm looking forward to opening them!

This right here is awesome!

Received my custom rifle this year, and watched my son bag his first game animal this year!
Nice to be able to teach the youngness how to hunt, and be successful.

Well, I went hunting and had a greatyear. Shot my meat Bull Moose after a 4 year wait.

Chased whitetails and elk for the rest of the season without success.

But loved every minute of it. Hunting is not always about the shooting, it is about the time being out there, with your friends and family. And that is why I keep doing it.

I am happy...Retired, great wife, all good...

I also bought some lights from Olight couple months or so ago and they were great...and heck of a deal! Great job folks!!!...

If that don't win this...me sad...

But good luck everyone!

Returned home from Australia after 3.5 years of back’n forth, as home is where family is.
And have the opportunity to retire in a few months at 61, or semi retire, will see.

I’m happy I’ve spent over 10 grand on your fine products.
I’m a little sad I’ve never won anything in my whole life….

I was able to get out with my late sisters son, my nephew, for the last day of the hunting season. We never bagged anything that day, but it was so great to share the outdoors and catch-up.

Happy for a lot of things!
A great hunting season for me. I harvested my 1st mule deer buck this fall and so happy my son was with me. I was also able to hunt 29/30 days in November. I thank my wife for that!
