First fish of 2016

2-6-2016, a new record for me for sure. Pyramid Lake was sunny and calm pretty much all day Saturday. Not the best conditions for fishing, but at least I didn't get skunked.  After eight hours on the ladder, I got one fish.

The mysterious, and world famous Pyramid Lake beaver.

MRE beef steak, SHITTY!

MRE Mexican Rice. BOMB!

Pyramid anticipation.

I love the anticipation of an upcoming trip. The preparation. I doubt I'll sleep tonight.

A great rabbit hunt at a new spot.

I went shooting with a couple of friends at new spot last week, and noticed a ton of rabbit tracks in the snow. I took the Boy and my daughter's boyfriend there today for a quick hunt. We saw a TON of jacks, and as many cottontails. They were all pretty sketchy and quick to run, but I managed to get two. This spot has a lot of potential, and I can't wait to get back. 

A great hunt.

Had a great cottontail and Jackrabbit hunt the other day. I walked just over five miles, and ended up with two cottontails and a jack. All three head shots, no meat wasted. The rabbits will be stuffed saddles, and the Jack will be hare stew. I can't wait

Scott Rea's stuffed cottontail saddle.

I was able to get a couple of bunnies the other day, and decided to make Scott Rea's stuffed rabbit saddles. They turned out amazing. If you get a chance, watch some of Scott's videos, and give some of his recipes a try! You won't be disappointed.

A beautiful pair of tails

Hank Shaw's Sardinian Hare Stew

Had a chance to make Hank Shaw's recipe for Sardinian Hare Stew. It turned out amazing, and everyone loved it. Thanks Hank. Give his article a read here. It says a lot about eating Jackrabbits.

Another success this morning

Got my third bunny this morning.
