Title: Heck of a weekend, hillbilly surf-n-turf
Post by: Brian Halbleib on September 27, 2010, 12:04:00 PM
I planted this fall plot on my farm in Ohio about a month ago. It's been dry but the recent rain and cool temps have got it going now.

Saturday was opening day in Ohio and this doe decided to come into this plot around 6:15 PM.

I was blessed with a chip shot from my stand and am very thankful to have some venison for the freezer this early in the season. I used a home made 3-piece take down longbow, Gold Tip Traditional arrow and Magnus 2-blade on this hunt.

Started the weekend on Friday on the Salmon River in NY...

What a week-end! Plenty of good eats for the freezer.  I live just south of the Salmon River, on the Little Salmon River.

Brian- your food plot looks real good. What did you plant, looks like a mix of rape & turnip?
Congrats on the doe & salmon!

Hey Brian, way to go! With success like that, go buy a lottery ticket somewhere quick, you are on a roll! Cool pic of that doe at the food plot, looks like it really draws them in, and awsome fish you caught too. Thanks for posting, that's my kind of surf and turf pics.     :clapper:

Hey Mudd - As a matter of fact, those salmon spend most of their lives in Lake Ontario, and nearby are our three nuclear plants.  They (the nuke plants) discharge their cooling water about a mile (or less) from shore.  It is great fishing in that area, especially when it gets real cold. But, those big fish aren't radioactive (or are they) LOL.

What's that little bubble on your neck, Brian?

I bet if they did a b-b-b-bopsy on that it would be your little brother in there..spinal cord and all!!!

that's what happens when you eat radioactive fish!!

Nice fish and good shooting on the doe. Boy I wished the brookies I caught today looked like that! My kind of surf and turf.
