Hunter with a nice Brook trout!

Hunter & Polecat with a nice brookie!

The Storks grandson    Hunter William Passmore    Age 7

Caught this trout in the first beaver flow  9″ big  He missed a bigger one of at least 12″

He also is the youngest ever to take the Panther Mtn. Stream plunge.  Fell in off the bank and over his head.  Yours truly had to jump in and yank him back up, but he was swimming, only in the wrong direction while coughing up a lung full.

He told his dad he wanted to keep fishing and caught several more trout, but not keepers.

Polecat

Danny Johnson known to us as Berretta died recently.  He hunted with us in Minerva, Johnsburg and here in Piseco.  We called him Berretta cause he carried a gun in his boot.  To shoot what ? ?  No body knows.

He shot the smallest bear ever in Piseco with a .375 H&H Magnum.  Three boots long. His kill picture still hands in the camp.  We’ll miss him.
