Re: Hunting Knife Pass
Hello Griz followers!
Bright and early tomorrow I'm heading north for a week of bowhunting in the northwoods of Wisconsin. I'll be staying in a log cabin with electricity but no running water...and no internet access. So I won't be able to post updates, but Griz is going to get some good field time in for sure. I'll take lots of pics and post up when I get back next week.
I'll be keeping in touch via cell phone with a fellow Devil Dog lister and he agreed to post a few pics here in this thread for me so we can get some real time updates for anyone interested! So stay tuned and we'll see what happens....

Good luck Mike - hope it's a great week out amongst em!

Re: Hunting Knife Pass
I think Mike is bored and lonely.
He says:
"Moved to new location...20 feet up in a treestand inside a field edge. Looks deery!"
He made a little video and sent it. To watch Mike's video Click Here.

Re: Hunting Knife Pass
Mike said he did see a big buck today but had no shot (he's bow hunting). Same with the doe he saw later. He did manage to get a picture of some turkeys he saw. This picture was taken of the camera screen with his cell phone. Not the best but you get the idea.

Re: Hunting Knife Pass
Sure looks like it. He said that big buck passed within 40 yards of him. Dead deer during rifle season. I told him he should have shot him with a pistol and stuck an arrow in the hole.
