I particularly like the ones that have a postcard attached so you can send back where you found it. Prob sure the person did not like my response.

NM while turkey hunting.

I troll Lake Michigan a lot for salmon, its rare to NOT have to pull net out to grab one floating. They can wrap around your lines, down rigger cables, grab onto lower units cutting off water intake which BTW can ruin your day fast and birds get messed up in them. They are royal PITA!

This one got away yesterday View attachment 219461

This is the balloon equivalent of a trail cam pic live on the hoof. Might still be out running around...but based off how much banging you heard on the neighbors opening day it's either on a wall somewhere a dead head waiting to be scooped up

Scouting a couple of weeks ago. I left two grow, I'll get them next time.

Went out hiking on my wife’s birthday yesterday… nature provided a nice bouquet of flowers and a balloon. Saved me a trip to the market, and scored more points #winning

Sonoran desert, Old Mexico, looking for Bighorns and Sonoran Antelope. No joy with either but...

Found in central Wi shed hunting

Thank goodness my dog was able to chase down this cripple. I never would have found it on my own in this heavy cover.

4th one I’ve found shed hunting this year, all close to or right in bedding areas.

Do you like running em with dogs and watching them work or earning it the old fashioned way with boot leather?
