    Selling our house w/23 acres outside Helena, MT

    Totally get it @MT Bound !! Good on you putting family first. I'm a CA native... been here my whole life. Every other week we talk about getting out of here. It ultimately ends with us deciding to stay with our family. Both my wife and I live within a mile of our parents, brothers and sisters...

    26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

    Well done!! Awesome to see your initial post with the excitement and anticipation of getting the tag this spring… and ending up with this experience. I’d say this one will be tough to top when your an old Pappy telling stories from you’re rockin chair.

    What is your single top hunting season goal this year? I expect updates damn it.

    I just accomplished my number one goal which was to shoot a velvet buck with my bow. However, the primary goal every year is to get over 120 pounds of clean, organic, red meat in my freezer. I’ve been blessed to achieve that goal the last several years, but I never take it for granted. I still...

    Thank you! A goal of mine this year is to keep a "Captain's Log" with me on my hunts. Not a journal :LOL: I'd love to look back over the years and reminisce on all the details that make each hunt special. I do a quick, down and dirty write up on here, but I'd love to capture the details that...

    We woke up this final morning with remnants of Hillary beating down this deplorable hunter. It was noticeably more wet and windy. For a split second I wanted to stay in the comforts of the trailer. I think we all did. However, I thought of the 10 previous months of wishing this time of year was...

    After typing and deleting several times I'll just come out and say it. I shot and missed two deer, ok. On the first occasion I was sitting down under a tree to escape the elements. I saw a flash of tan about a hundred yards out through the trees. I adjusted myself underneath the tree to allow...

    We all woke up to rain pounding the trailer. None of us are really morning people, so not much was said. We knew we would be hiking and sitting in the rain, but at least we would be hunting! We made our way to the glassing knob and found ourselves hunkered under a tree, constantly wiping the...

    We showed up and made camp a day before season opener. Camp went up in a hurry, and we made our way to a glassing point to see what the mountain would be offering. I've grown up hunting deer in southern California, so I am lucky to spot a few deer per glassing session. My expectations were the...
