    Yeah you should gamble a little if you’re there and craps is a game worth learning

    Have you eaten horse?

    Horse meat- one of the more perplexing American taboos. My brother in law sells a lot of it to Russian immigrants via custom slaughter. I honestly can’t recall if I’ve had it or not, but if not, that’s a shame

    What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep

    I’m a second hand jeep guy- better value and simper to fix and maintain than a sxs with expensive parts. Actually have been hunting out of a 97 Suzuki Jimny this year which is great for two hunters or less. Any more than that and you gotta go bigger. Was awesome to turn on the heat (or AC)...

    .22 ricochet (close call)

    My sons friend made (ho-made) a 22 short single shot pistol and we took turns trying it out on a log pile at about 15 yards. Yep, my turn came and the ricochet shot myself right in the junk. No permanent damage to report

    Swarovski SLC 15x56 Binoculars – Excellent Condition

    a scam for $1700 might have worked where $1000 was just too obvious Guess we should have clicked the report button? Or maybe someone did

    Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt

    I agree with you passing that buck, you’re just hitting your stride, you’ve got the time off, weathers good, might as well keep the guides working for you. Better to keep it going and find something that excites you. Or go home knowing you did all you could. Different kind of hunt than I’ve...

    Top this, if you can

    Ok let’s pick up the pace, I’ve got muzzleloaders to scope and sight in. Day 2 Thursday, part 4 One more encounter As we moved downhill towards the canyon, it became apparent there were at least three bulls sounding off. The intensity was growing, too- growling, screaming, gnashing of trees...

    No. Recall that you’re talking to a guy who proved incapable of correctly interpreting cpw draw results written in plain English. it did cross my mind at one point. Definitely wouldn’t have hurt.

    Day 2 Thursday, part 3 You always miss the shots you don’t take We continued up the slope the cow had been bedded on and just as I crest the top I pick up some movement and see a cow coming right for us. I dive back behind the top of the hill and tell him to get next to a tree at the top and...

    Day 2 Thursday, part 2 Comedy of Errors After some 15-20 minutes it became apparent that the cow could remain locked in that position for hours, and my shooter was getting cold while splayed out on the ground. A conversation followed in which I attempted to determine his confidence level on...

    Hunt recap follows. Just got back early Sunday morning after 15.5 hours, at least six of which were dedicated to Macbeth podcasts since nephew had a paper due Monday he was working on. As usual, the vehicles were the mvps of the trip and deserve most of the credit. No, we did not travel...
