Non-Typical Solutions

Anybody else getting an over abundance of beetles this year? All over town any place with any type of night light has hundreds of beetles on the ground next morning. Every day new batch dead on the ground. Just way more than usual?

So why the bumper crop? Windshields are getting beat up!

Took the Grandkids fishing and this guy thought he caught the biggest fish in the lake! When his mom asked why he turned it loose, "Mom it wanted to swim more!

I actually agree with that but I spoiled her last week while fishing reservation lake and watching two turkey hens and a bunch of chicks feed along the bank so now she is luring me to go on a "fishing" trip to see sheep! She really just enjoys seeing different places here in AZ. I am all in with that.

Way better than Common Core!!!

Headed down to Tucson for some Fathers Day visiting Saturday morning, had to go the long way through White River but were rewarded with this sighting. My wife always on the look out for game!! https://youtu.be/egKNSYWe50A

Just west of Cedar Creek community...

We were probably less that a hundred yards. The road was up high and they were grubbing down in a grassy flat. We first saw the sow and was watching her and then all the sudden the cubs came out from the trees, that is when the camera had to come out.

Headed up to Provo Monday and we are looking for one last fishing opportunity between home and Provo. We have fished Powell and Lee's Ferry and we won't have a boat. Any recommendations for a fun lake or even river to try out on our way up? Couple of months ago we were headed home from up that way and took a detour through Brian Head and past what I believe was Panguitch Lake and there were some cool looking streams along that area. Just looking for somewhere to throw the line in before we ship Cole off..... Thanks, Jeff

We were lazy.....got to Panguitch lake about 11:00 am, stopped at the little bait shop/restaurant to get some pointers. As we were visiting with the guys there a little gal walked in with a 5lb Tiger Trout. We went on over to the north side and fished for about two hours.....nice and cool with the sun out. I lucked out and picked this one up....didn't measure and didn't weigh but he is the biggest trout I have caught in like.....forever. Nice deep body and absolutely beautiful fish.......great times with Cole for our last hurrah for a couple of years!!!

My buyer dropped to $12/lb for fresh. Same up here......I figured somewhere along the way it would come down........

Stealing is stealing no matter how you slice it.......I look forward to the drop in antler prices, that will help reduce traffic out in the hills. I do believe locally prices have dropped a couple dollars a pound......just rumor though, I haven't found a shed to sell even if I was going to sell it.....

We all got our problems.....

I was visiting my wife at her school during a recess.....and all the sudden there is a drone flying over the playground....honestly gave me a creepy feeling......not sure I am really that excited about the drone era, and as far as out in the woods....last thing I want to see is another motorized device clogging up what I went out there to get away from. In theory they look pretty cool just not sure of the ramifications of it all......

I believe this is going to catch up with us.......prices will escalate or robots will take the place of low paying jobs that were great for college kids/ high school kids. http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/12/wendys-automates-to-overcome-the-minimum-wage/

Cole got his yearbook for the year yesterday and we were looking at pictures, so then I pulled out the old yearbook and he is looking through it............ Dad......you guys really got to play shirts and skins in P.E. back in the day!!! What a grim reminder of how our culture and society have bent over for the political correct agenda!!!

Same here.....good job getting out there and giving yourself a chance.....always fun to find an antler!!!

We didn't get video but that same group finally jumped up in the middle of the pavement and ran for quite a distance before the went over to the north side of the road.......right down the middle of the road.....

Bill, We had a similar encounter a while back, I posted the video we took....here it is again! It is fun seeing them but I gotta admit spooky watching traffic fly by when they are bouncing all over the place.

And what a great opportunity for a kid as well.....good place to learn and earn!!!

Here is yet another reason for me to vote trump!!! http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/trump-debbie-wasserman-schultz-215435 His words are mild compared to what I think of that lady!!!

Through the years Tommy has helped Cole with some of his projects and here is another one. He used the antlers from Coles last whitetail and we are very pleased. Thanks again Tomgobbler!

It was a rifle hunt........fun times and a great job on the jackalope!!!
