I turn 79 today. Yep,79 years old. I am excited waiting to see if I draw an antelope permit. Antelope are a fun hunt. I have a deer and elk tag for MT. I have a Nilgai hunt in early Nov. Yep, you get old. But, keep moving. MTG
This mule deer has been visiting our mineral block, 15 yards behind our house, all spring and summer. He has all sorts of trash on his rack. Still in velvet and not done growing. It’s my wish that he lives to spread his genes and produce some progeny here in NW Montana. We live on the...

I have been applying for 22 years as of this year. I have enjoyed the anticipation only to find that my applications were unsuccessful. I have 22 bonus points this year. If I understand correctly these are MY points. Points that I should be able to do with as I see fit. It’s my...
You all are inspiring to this old man. My health is good. My body is worn out. I wake up in the morning in pain. At least it announces that I am alive. I will continue to hunt, slowly mind you. But my mountain climbing days have come to an end. My mind tells me I’m 60. My body tells me...
