After years of sore feet from boots not wide enough I had a pair for summer work custom made by Nick's Boot's in Spokane. I still wear them when doing work around the ranch. New soles and upgraded twice in thirty years and never sore feet! Well worth the custom made price.
I think Dave's knee would be able to handle running to "cut a big bull off at the pass" if his boiler room was filled with good Italian grub. If he did not take some to camp someone needs to talk with the camp cook. Or possibly take him to town to an Italian "Scarf and Barf" ?
My hats off to...
Did I miss reading where Dave was taking some of his famous home made whitetail salami to camp? If not, he must have used up all of last years venison which is a shame. Or he could have been just too darn busy!
Dave N's post of White Rabbit is a good one. For those of you who may like another fantastic rendition of it, YouTube Molly Tuttle's version. A musicians must!
A neighbor lady wears extra large German WWll wool pants with suspenders for late season hunting and swears by them. Almost the same as wearing wool coveralls. And much cheaper too!
Alpine01 ......Chainsaw dust/parafin wax is also waterproof, very important.
keakakea.......I cut my strips longer and tapered to a point for easier starting.
Idaho elk, deer, lion, wolf, turkey and coyotes.
As usual I will be in the recliner drinking coffee with binoculars, spotting scope and rifle at the ready if I see an animal I want. No sense freezing outside.
By both, and too many reasons to list.
1. If you like the place you hunt, do not take anyone there you do not trust 100%!
2. All of my trusted hunting buds have either passed on or in no shape to hunt.
My old mind was a head of my fingers in post #7. What I meant to mean was a hunter who hunts for trophies aka big bucks, does not SEE one, and then shoots a year old piss buck. Did the thought cross their mind that little bucks grow up to be big bucks? It was not about meat hunting, sorry I did...
I wonder about those who travel thousands of miles to hunt, pay hefty out of state fees, complain about not seeing any big bucks, then shoot a one year old piss buck just to take an animal home! Duh, just maybe........
I don't see any red spots so it must be a Bull trout. The one fish that eats most of the Salmon and steelhead eggs in Idaho. Why it is protected is beyond me.
