Sax-Zim Bog?

This weekend Hwood and I are heading to the bog. Neither one of us have been there so I am wondering were we need to go. I understand the bog is made up of both private and public land. Our #1 target is the Great Grey (will be the 1st time seeing a GGO) along with a couple others. So if anyone can steer us in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks,

Shane

I haven't been there as much this season, and have only seen one GGO. Low snow cover I think has something to do with it, and the owl's having better hunting than last year and consequently, aren't out during the daytime as much. The maps indicate where the best chances are to see GGO's and they are correct. And extra one or two shows up along HWY 7 where you might not expect them. Watch the highline poles. Good luck!

The only one that I spotted this year was along Hwy 7 about a mile north of Sax Rd. The latest report sound's like like County rd. 133 going into Meadowland's but that was a few weeks ago. Keep your eyes peeled and look for odd shapes in the trees. You just never know were they will show up.

My advice would be to look for owls in the early morning and evening. During the day you could shoot at the Admiral rd or Akrola feeder and get boreal chickadees. The Blue Spruce feeder has evening grosebeaks, pine grosebeaks, redpolls etc, that would be another good place to visit. Don't stop anywhere near the house that says "Trespassers will be violated retired marine sniper" on Stickney Rd.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
