    Anybody watch the Derby?

    Everyone in the house picks a horse, winner take all. My horse got scratched at the gate. Very entertaining ride to watch.

    Idaho MSG Applications - Who's In

    I think we drew 7 elk tags and 6 deer tags between ‘86 and ‘93 and my daughter went 1 for 1 moose apps/tags. I tried for various M or S up until about 2012. Ofer. Wife drew a bull elk around 2010. We got out after 20 years with 1 tag. I use my app money to buy bullets for my Alaska hunts...

    RIP ?

    My wife’s maiden name is Coe. She once burned her finger and said ‘dangit’! I lost a lot of respect for that lineage that day. Some of his stuff was a bit rough so I avoided it, but, I listen regularly to a couple songs you can find on radio. The one song is truly perfect. If that ain’t country…

    Hunting backpack that works for carry-on

    I have used a midsized badlands (2800?) pack for about 8 years. I use it as my primary day pack while hunting and it has been with me on 5 continents. I don’t leave ammo in it, or knives. I don’t schedule dates with my girlfriend and my wife the same night. I don’t store diesel fuel and...

    Stories from Hunter Ed

    Many years ago I took my family to Europe for a job I had. I contacted the State of Idaho to try to get my daughter into HE before we left but there was nothing doing. They said she could be the first to try out a new ‘online course’. We accepted and she attended from Estonia via dial up. Man...

    Haul Rd Hunters Turo joins Uhaul

    I see A BUNCH of those trucks and vans on the haul road. I wonder if the issue is damage or stink? Either way, that will be a lot of lost revenue. It must have been a difficult decision.

    Shoulder Surgery

    I had 2 repairs and then a reverse replacement. I heal quick so my replacement did not cost me a hunting season. I was pulling a 60 lb bow in no time. I focused on stretching and elasticity, not strength. I also watched lots of videos and learned better mechanics of pulling a bow back. Now my...

    Average age of the hunt talk crowd.

    I’m old. 60. Someone with more IT (younger) should ask the favorite knife for each decade. I have a tiny old timer and a bigger buck. Still sharp after almost 50 years of gutting and skinning.

    Caitlin Clark finally

    Recently, I have enjoyed watching the women’s game over the men’s. As a child and a young man I assumed basketball was a team sport. More and more the men’s game is a team of individuals. Both leagues will continue this devolution of concept as time goes by. The all star break was always a...

    Looking for California Gold

    My wife got me a mine lab metal detector and I want to give it a try. I want to prospect somewhere east of Stockton California but I don’t want to jump anyone’s claim. I’m just looking for a small wash I can walk up without paying for access or getting in to trouble. Does anyone know of a...

    In your opinion what 3-5 rifle calibers are best for Mule Deer?

    7mm REM Mag 30-06 308 30-30 Only 4 I ever shot a deer with. All performed well. I probably shot all of them further than I would recommend

    Have you eaten horse?

    I did have horse in China. I think it lived a long life as a beast of burden. Bad experience.

    Kitchenaid Stand Mixer maintenance

    My wife got to complaining about how the sound had changed. We ordered some grease and watched the same videos as everyone else. When the grease arrived I tore it down, cleaned it up and replaced the grease. It took just over an hour. The whining stopped. 😉
