Lets see some projects. After 4 turkey tent collapses during snow storms I decided to make some permanent ones. This is 1 of the 3.

The Balsam turn brown and the needles stay on for 2-3 years. I've been picking up artificial Christmas trees at the curb and using their branches also. I always add 3-4 real balsam branches each year as I'm doing shooting lanes anyways.

Indoor stuff for me. I put together knives from warthog tusks and other African critters horns. Also make the sheathes and some pistol holsters from leather.

Trapper I really like those blinds. do you have any luck deer hunting out of them?
From: Trapper
29-Dec-17
Rut, I only sat in 1 once for bowhunting and I could've shot at a small buck 8 yards away. I'm actually building them for the future when I cant climb tree stands any longer. I did shoot 2 turkeys though with the bow.

My winter project is funding my projected fall hunting ventures and any gear upgrades. Invented, prototyped and started molding a few widgits (lithium battery holders and magazine loaders).
From: YZF-88

These ones are for Makita batteries. Started making them just for myself. Then they kind of took off.
From: YZF-88

Same deal with these magazine loaders. My thumbs were sore after a range day...and I had a 3D printer, so I made a prototype for myself, then a buddy, then another, then another so I made a mold and now it's a winter project.

A bunch of talented guys here, I bet there's more to come.

Tweed, hidden tang. I've done some full tang but it is a fair amount of work shaping the tang to fit each individual tusk.
Thanks Trapper.

I'm not as talented as CaptMike and YZF but I did make a few more trail camera mounts for screwing into pieces of firewood out in the field or any place the correct tree wasn't available.

I did the same as Trapper with the trail camera mounts. I found the idea off of Pinterest last year. I went to the hardware store and they set me up with everything after seeing my picture that I brought in. Works perfect and its a bonus for mounting my video camera on my turkey hunts.

This was my project Wednesday and Thursday. Cinnamon teal dead mount.
Love the other projects. Forged in fire is one of my favorite shows, and those knives "will kill!"

FTWAC, beautiful knives! I used to dabble a bit more than I do now but it is a great indoor activity for these cold days of winter.

Pete, that mount is really awesome. I just finished repairing a blesbok mount for one of my buddies. His girlfriend knocked it off the wall and broke both horns completely off, in addition to a broken ear.

Thanks Captain. You do a little bit of everything I see? Love them knives. Great style "points"! Can a man have too many knives?

Open water. Biggest to date. Small lake in the north.

L2H, that walleye does not look that big with just the stick to compare it to. You need to take a new pic with a can of beer next to it for reference. Just don't use an 8 ounce can with the fish held 3' in front of it. ;-)

FTWAC, wish I could say yes but no, I do not do the scrimshaw. I have tried it but mine end up looking more like cartoon characters.

No time for me to be bored lately with this weather. It creates a lot more chores and challenges with the horses. Perhaps the biggest problem is the kids don't want to do the chores when it's so cold!

Stycks, What fish are those fly's predominately for?

Even in the cold I get out and photograph but do more processing inside when it gets subzero. This was a shot taken in the fall but processed on New Year's Eve.

Smokey - that eagle looks pretty intense! How did you come up with a background like that, in the darkroom? Reckon so, huh? Great photo!

Smokey that is some pretty good work there! Besides late season - I'm, of course - "For the Birds"...
From: Live2hunt

Smokey, that is pretty cool, that started as a photo? Stycks, I could use a few of those flys come spring. Jeff, is that a hidden request that your wanting me to buy you a beer?
From: smokey
02-Jan-18
Yes, it is a photo after I did some processing in Photoshop. I have a business selling my artwork and like to do more than just take a photo so I will work with layers and textures.

Used profits from my molded part hobby to buy some reloading equipment...and start another hobby. Sure opened a can of worms. Lots to learn.
From: CaptMike
03-Jan-18
YZF, yes, it sure might be a can of worms. While I load quite a bit and have been for some time, I never tire of finding a load that is just a little more accurate.

When I'm home in the winter I build cabinets. This is one that I built from left overs from another project. Masters colors...
