What are you currently reading?
About 2/3 through this one. Also very good. Having read about David Thompson’s journeys through Canada and exploration of the northern tributaries of the Columbia, this one is a good complement. I grew up in Oregon and knew nothing about how the journeys to establish a trading post at Astoria...- Hunting Wife

AK blacktail rifle selection
We hunted deer on Afognak over Thanksgiving a few years ago. Bears were still out and about. I took my .270, and my husband chose his .338 so we’d have something with some stopping power. Talked to several different parties as we waited around for various flights, and there were plenty of bears...- Hunting Wife

Wife watches
https://a.co/d/09Kcgt8Q Your thread got me looking at watches again, and while scrolling Amazon I see that this is the one I bought in 2014. It was still running like a champ after 11 years. Wish I knew what I did with it, but I’m definitely a fan of the no battery changes and no charging...- Hunting Wife

Wife watches
I am also an analog watch fan. I really liked my solar powered one- I lost my last one last winter somewhere while I was skinning coyotes and need to get a new one. I can’t remember which brand that one was, but I’ve been looking at the Citizen EcoDrive ones. But the solar was nice. Had my last...- Hunting Wife

Anyone else an unwilling spectator this hunting season thanks to illness/injury?
Surgery October 1, strict lifting and exercise restrictions for 8 weeks. My Montana rifle season and cow tag are shot. Hoping if I can still draw my bow I will try a couple days after Thanksgiving on my ND archery tag. This sucks.- Hunting Wife

People Are Insane
Yeah- he’s psycho. Once upon a time, as a young college student, as I stared in the bathroom mirror at the bruises on my body and ran my fingers over the knots on the back of my head, courtesy of one of your “guys acting like an animal”, there was never any doubt in my mind that his actions...- Hunting Wife

What are you currently reading?
A couple of months ago I finally read This House of Sky by Ivan Doig. Quintessential small-town Montana that has all but vanished now. I know the places, but it must have been something to see and live in at that point in time. Funny how some of the characters remind me of folks you still run...- Hunting Wife

People Are Insane
Ah, yes. The old “men are animals and can’t help it” justification. I call bullshit- we’re not talking about just getting a little flustered or tongue-tied or clumsy here. And men who continue to excuse/justify/explain away the behavior of those who can’t help acting like animals around women...- Hunting Wife

Data center/Public lands analysis
Hot off the press…for those interested in the information related to data centers and public lands.

Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?
But what is “party-adjacent”? On virtually every issue there are really only a limited number of positions to take. Every position is going to align with some party. I see a lot of people going through a lot of mental gymnastics to use one position on one issue with even a slight overlap to slap...- Hunting Wife

People Are Insane
I am the wife. When men do stupid shit in my presence, it’s because they’re stupid. Me minding my own business and living my life doesn’t make that stupidity my fault somehow.- Hunting Wife

The Eberhart Experiment
A couple of weeks ago while chasing antelope with my bow, I was sitting and watching a herd, waiting for them to move and had a coyote walk right up to me. There was zero wind, so I assume after sitting there for 20 minutes or so, there must be some “bubble” of scent around me. I didn’t move...- Hunting Wife

Yellowstone winter tours?
I refuse to go to the park outside of winter. Too crowded and just not worth the frustration. But in the winter there have been lots of times we can just sit with a herd of bighorns or glassing goats and not have another soul around. Really, the only wildlife you won’t see is bears. You can see...- Hunting Wife
