150 yard shots have been the norm out on the prairie, so being able to shoot 200 yard is necessary of course. Hopefully one day not too far off, we will be able to hunt the hills again. It kinda sorta seems the lion population has been reduced a bit by hunters; hopefully more deer will be available for our freezers.

When i walked off the ice 3 days ago, my socks got wet; seems it indeed is time to get the boat ready. Yes, the fishing report say most teams last week-end limited with average 2 1/2 lb fish; with largest being 11 lb. Am hoping Oahe will come up enough we will be able to launch at Foster Bay, but if not, i guess we will have to travel to Minneconjou. Last year wife, and i did good. Always fun to catch a limit of 2 lb fish, with an occasional hog to get the heart running. The trip to the river is necessary; fishing close has kinda gotten tough.
