On The Track

By: Joe Sibley120108-013

Want a sure way to harvest a mature whitetail buck this year? Track one down by using a technique that I’ve been perfecting over the past 14 years.

The Trophy

By: Tony Blandophoto

My parents live in a nice house on a stunning piece of property situated along the Bark River in Delafield. There is much to love about this abode and the several acres it sits on. The outside has a beautiful river for grandkids to frolic and fish on hot summer days.  The inside boasts a large recreation and trophy room with ample space for family gatherings, a bar with a keg on tap and a pool table.  I know what you’re thinking: Why would anyone ever leave?

 

In addition to countless fish, the “trophy” room includes a dozen deer shoulder mounts and more than 50 mounted racks, some of them two or three to a single plaque.  That ought to give you an idea of just how “massive” some of those bucks were.

New technology for fishermen can be both a good and a bad thing.

Russian fisherman Semyon Konev made international news earlier this month when he caught a fish with a drone less than a minute after making his first attempt. After hearing about the technique online, Konev went to a local reservoir, attached a bait line to the powerful drone for fishing, spotted a school of fish and flew the drone over the water. Within 30 seconds, the float dipped into the water; Konev then flew the drone upwards to pull in his catch. While drone fishing remains controversial for the advantage it gives anglers, it serves to illustrate how high-tech fishing has become. Here are a few other high-tech fishing gadgets.
