...bluff country. What a beautiful part of the country! I worked hard for this bird. I had never hunted the area before and had no idea where to start looking. I was blessed with a dandy. This is the first time I shot a Tom older than 2, I started turkey hunting 3 years ago and now I’m addicted.
I know the area. One of my Sister in Laws grew up farming in Carlton; my brother and his BIL still hunt the family farm there.
I always preferred hunting the east side but spent a lot of time hunting blacktails in the Alsea unit as a kid. That buck of yours is a dandy.
Turning cold here in KY, stuff seemed to be moving last night. Might be a good couple days on the trapline, I haven't checked yet today. My Brother in law got a dandy bobcat last night.
...80 feet accurately with an 8wt. And big bugs. Fishing a quarter mile stretch of river on this day she hooked and landed 100 silvers and a couple of dandy Char. We were just a mile or two out of the salt.
Silvers are my favorite when they are in. If they are not there it’s’ tough to catch them.
...in an MDT HNT chassis. Whole goal was to have as short a package as possible with the suppressor (once the approval comes through) for a handy/dandy blood and guts rifle. First 12 shots through it show good promise, and according to the chronograph I'm still going to have 2,000 FPS at 500...
Congratulations on taking a dandy desert ram.
That's something 99% of all hunters will never get to experience.
In my mind there's no need to apologize or explain why you chose to go guided. I'd love to know more about "your partner".
Thanks for sharing your perfect sheep hunt.
...The idea that it is always "necessary" is something promoted by industry and its allies. Our forests managed themselves quite fine and dandy long before europeans showed up.
A balanced approach toward thinning and an abundance of fire would start to get things back on track, but I didn't...
