    Combined work with pleasure

    Spent some of the weekend splitting wood but did sneak 3 hunts in on the 3 day weekend. Hunts were fairly productive with 6 silver dimes. Ended up with 5 Merc's, a Barber, 1 Indian and 6 wheaties. Definitely covered my gas with a lot of clad so all and all it was a productive weekend both work wise and fun wise. Wisconsin Digger

    Wayne is a Church, a Bar and a couple of houses, but the log splitting was in Northern Wisconsin in the town of Pickerel (a Bar, a golf course, a Post Office, a Church and a few houses - MUCH bigger town). WD

    Pickerel WI brings back memories as a kid. Caught my first musky on North Twin Lake. Congrats on the silvers!

    This week I spent 4 days in Manitowish Waters with some old HS buddies. When I was a kid a good HS friend took me along on their vacation the lake right next to this one so it was cool revisiting the area. No Muskies but a 4LB smallie was the hi-lite of the trip. Thx WD
