Finished a 50 mile canoe camping trip. 4 days 3 nights. Experienced some crazy weather. Heavy storms on 2 evenings. High winds almost flattened the tent.
Fishing was terrible on days one and two, but was really good on day 3. Boated 25 smallmouth and had many hits and lost a few. Fishing was fair on day 4. Caught just a few.
Saw a few dozen bald eagles. More than I've seen outside of Alaska.
Also saw 3 river otters and tons of ducks and a slew of ducklings. Seems like a good nesting year.

What river? ... And what were your starting and finishing points?

What river? ... And what were your starting and finishing points?

Allegheny River in northern PA. Its one of the rivers that eventually flow thru Pittsburgh. We floated well above Pgh. We put in at Kinzua Dam launch and got out at President PA. We camped on the Allegheny Wilderness Islands. Several islands are part of the wilderness system. The float is hardly a wilderness experience, though. Many summer cottages line the banks in some areas and there is also some industry and small towns.
We've floated several other sections of the river and we wanted to check this section off the list.
We were trying to figure out how many river miles we've done in this canoe. We think its close to 1,000 miles.

My family owns a camp up that way. My wife and I went 45 miles from Kinzua to Tionesta on a long weekend when we were first dating.

It was nice doing that float during the weekdays. There was almost no boat traffic and most of the camps were empty and quiet, too.
I have a long history on several stretches of the Allegheny...it can be a noisy zoo on weekends.

I killed a deer at 80 yards with a sabot and 12 ga last year, will a 20 ga do that or is my range shorter .

2 years ago I bought a Savage 220, bolt action 20 gauge rifled bore shotgun, with a ballistic compensating scope. I have it zero'd at 125 yards and comfortable shooting 175, but with practice I might be able to hit 200. Shoots the Remington sabot rounds the best...2" groups at 125 yards.

Broke my hand a few weeks ago, so it's been slow going of late. Still have the cast for a couple weeks, but after getting excited about one-sticking, I had to try it out while I wait for my order from DanO. Used a lone wolf stick and was surprised how easy it is ascending (although the stick length gets in the way). Tried both a lone wolf strap & amsteel daisy chain, and definitely preferred the Amsteel - could be different when I get the cast off.
But all in all, it was a success, and I'm psyched to try it with my EWO stick & rappel.

I wish I was a headlight on a north-bound train

Started paper tuning my new arrow setup while kids napped briefly. Black eagle x impact 250s with 180gr ethics insert/outsert and 125gr points. I'm the weak point in this setup, but liking penetration

Made up some bolts to climb with. Got a couple trees picked just waiting to see how the hurricanes affect the property

Took a 6 mile stroll through some public land nearby. Kicked out a few deer, a decent sized bear (took off before I had a chance to take his picture), and saw a porcupine in a tree. I'll be feeling it tomorrow lol

Great idea with the cardboard box as a paper holding frame. And the arrows look good!

Met up w/ @Teddy9871 to finalize a deal & it turned into a gear fest. I have to say the new DanO featherlite sticks are legit. I was most impressed by the TX5 saddle he had, that was about the most comfortable bombproof saddle I’ve seen! How is it you sell stuff & immediately need to order something else??? This place......

I have no idea. I’ve heard people say it’s competitive with other saddles. Might depend on your customization. I’m fighting the urge to get one right now. I think he is booked back to the fall.
