We started up down in the valley, the last edge of tree line a little to her left is where the house is. 3000 feet where the house is 4800 where we were standing. A touch over 2 1/2 miles. Getting around pretty good for a couple old farts. No sheds, no turkeys and only a few morels.
Lock stock and barrel, in Wyoming, will send a truck collect the mounts , guns, old ammo, misc hunting and shooting gear, auction it off and send a check. Used them on two estates I helped with, good people.
Been running N560 in my 300 HH and 338 Jarrett. Getting the same velocity as with RL 26, using 180s and 250s with no problems. Accuracy is just as good. In both those cartridges I have pushed them quite a bit faster using N560 but neither rifle cared for the extra speed. N560 is getting hard to...
I would like to see Namibia as well. Mozambique holds interest too. Next year I have to start taking mandatory minimums, (believe that is the correct term) so perhaps I’ll make one more trip. So far I’m able to stay fit, so long as the marbles between my ears keep working, I just might pull it...
Well I’m certainly not rich or from Texas. I was raised in Oregon and Alaska, worked in the woods and fishing as a young man. Spent 20 years and 5 months working in law enforcement and just a little shy of 20 years guiding, retired from that at 68. Some might say I’m an asshole. I’m not rich by...
I found the article interesting in that knowing your enemy, or competition, is always a good idea. That the writers lack of objectivity prevented a more favorable analysis is not surprising. Still, despite the denigrating description of hunters and Professional Hunters, the author takes us...
There are a surprising number of options for you. Wife went to work for USDA, doing ag work with her masters. Took a job that came open at the USDA Forest service for an ecologist, then got her PHD in forestry. Ultimately she worked on every continent but Antarctica consulting. Spent two years...
Wife has her masters in Ag science her PHd in Forest science. She is excited to read your dissertation. Said it sounds interesting. She too is a nerd:)
Yep, been through all that; sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, chickens, horse is where it got crazy; Western, English, dressage, trail, hunter/jumper, carts. Jeepers we wore the horse trailer out.
This young lady fished with us for about 8 years. She would bring her folks along. Best pre teen fly caster I’d ever seen when she started. She earned the nickname “swamp rat” by the time she was a teenager. Give her soggy tundra she’d be swimming in it. Every time. Couldn’t help but going face...
The tundra is like sponge but grows in hummocks you have to step over or around. You’re constantly doing high knee lifts. I think mini snow shoes would cause tripping. Best thing is to get over straight line thinking. Study the ground ahead of you, stay out of the lowest area stay out of the...
