Up North Photos

Living "up north", I thought I'd share some northen U.S./southern Canada type photos that I or family members have taken. Most are of the outdoors, but sometimes I might veer off course a little. Lol

WARNING TO VIEWERS: I hunt and fish not only for the enjoyment, but as a means to provide food for my family and at times friends/neighbors. Some images may be disturbing. If you don't care for such images, please hit your back button now. I'm not here sharing pictures to debate such issues.

Also, feel free to share your own photos from "up north", or your own hunting/fishing outings, etc.

First up, my parent's back yard. I pretty much lived down on the shoreline while growing up! Lol

 

Typical winter looking out their back yard.

 

The folks having a beer on the deck, enjoying the view on a nice spring day some years ago.

 

Tornado season is fast approaching. This was forming 1/4 mile away from our house a few years ago.

 

Out ice fishing a couple miles from shore, this guy was hoping for a free meal. Lol

 

Eagles on ice waiting for the lake to open.

 

love them all. xxx

Do a thread for travels. xxxx

 

Except I don't travel all that much. Lol Just one holiday/vacation per year for me.

 

Fall time in the north woods, but it's a little past peak colors.

 

The wood duck. Perhaps one of the prettiest birds in the state.

 

I thought this loon would lead us to the fish. No such luck. Lol

 

Close-up of the loon. Just feet from the boat.

 

The walleye. Probably the most popular fish in northern lakes. The further north you go, the more dark gold and brown they get.

 

Blugill/sunfish. Very popular amongst anglers of all ages. This is my biggest ever at just shy of 11.5".

 

The northern pike. Very aggressive with teeth sharp as razor blades. My buddy got this one ice fishing a couple years ago. A nice one, but they get much bigger.

 

Smallmouth bass. My daughter's nice mid-sized fish.

 

Early morning heading through the narrows to get to the main lake.

 

Exiting the narrows and headed on a 10mi drive down the lake. Little islands everywhere above and below the water surface. Have to drive carefully or you'll hit rocks and rip your boat apart.

 

Wow I love this thread.
I will link everyone later. X

 

May I move this to members photos?
