We’re not alone up here
During a routine market evaluation, I rounded the corner of a quiet little cabin on Lipsett Lake and came face-to-face with an unsuspecting feathered friend. I thought I smelled something fishy, so I moved closer to see what was on the lunch menu. I guess it wasn’t in the mood to share. ~ …
The gun hunting season started so unseasonably mild. I wondered about the hanging carcasses at various deer camps that I pass along the way to the office and whether the temperatures at night were enough to keep them from spoiling.

This winter we were able to witness a carping operation on Clam Lake. It was fascinating and I think the photos I’ve posted below tell a lot of the story. Although it’s hard to translate the whole picture without sharing the smell, but count yourself lucky on that one! Clam Lake has been overcome …

Keizer Wildlife Area is a 1352 acre property with 6 named lakes and several unnamed lakes. It’s a great habitat for fish and …
