    First Elk finally

    That’s my favorite story in a long time. Wouldn’t it be great to be a kid again and have back pain one day and feel good two days later? Nice job.

    #$%^$ beavers

    There’s a neat book called Three Against the Wilderness by Eric Collier which chronicles a homesteading family in BC in the mid 20th century as they work to reestablish beaver live with them. I love trapping beaver and often wonder when beaver will hit their overall human tolerance level in...

    Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt

    You’ve got the right attitude. Trust your guide and must be present to win. Just keep at it. Something will happen, just be there when it does.

    Tipi style wall tent?

    I have an older relite 12x12 spike tent from Montana canvas that I bought used 10 years ago. I used it this weekend. The door/wall design is mediocre but it’s about 25lbs and 3’ sidewalls make a huge difference. It has a floor which I like and zippered out slot for the stove. I cut poles most...

    Let them expire? Wyoming Sheep points.

    People always overvalue sunk costs and undervalue opportunity costs. Meaning don’t throw good money after bad, and think of what that money might be doing elsewhere in terms of a hunt. I’d probably stay in, but be clear-eyed. It costs money and opportunity to stay in. Don’t stay in just...

    Chainsaw trophy care

    The recent post looking for a Knapp saw reminded me of this story. The story was secondhand when I got it. Sometime in the early ‘80’s in an outfitters camp at wolf lake on the Snag River on the North side of the Wrangells near Northway AK. I’m fairly sure it was Doc Taylor’s camp. I’ve been...

    Knapp sport saw wanted

    Oh man I have had several Of these over the years if I can just dig one up I must have one in my piles of junk.. I would love to have it go to someone who wanted it. I’m not sure I ever used one, genuine Naugahyde case if I remember. They were also ubiquitous in various Rubbermaid totes of...

    Warner #2 Oregon

    That’s a gorgeous buck anywhere. I have no idea where Warner unit is but if it’s in the Warner Valley that’s a cool place. I got interested reading about it in William Kittredge’s “Owning it All” and then deliberately drove from Adel to Burns. Unbelievably remote. I was blown away, not to...

    Back strap Biltong

    My one experience in Africa left me amazed at how common it is- you see biltong everywhere. I’m really excited to make it. I absolutely love the stuff. That said, I never had a piece of plains game meat that wasn’t fantastic. It might be heresy, but I’d say all the African meat I ate put...

    Solo moose hunting tips and tricks

    I would plan on 4+ hours to get all cut up and hung up, and a pulley and rope will be your friend. You do not need to get it out ina day if your nights are below 40 or so. Keep it dry, I wouldn’t worry about terribly clean if you are alone except for the loose meat. Get it in shade and get hung...

    Granite Peak with my CPAP…

    That was one thing I found striking when camped up high. I could see the lights of Billings pretty easily to the north and could see the mountains on the south side of Cooke City to the south. the Beartooths are not that big in terms of distance but are so rough, so high, so difficult to travel...

    Granite Peak with my CPAP…

    The snow bridge and beginning of the hard climbing is at the flat bench about 700’ below the summit and visible at the little saddle high up in the second photo. After snacking and enjoying the view we turned back, climbed down 800’ and back up 800’ to camp , packed up and walked back the 9...
