I stop in at HooDoo every year for 1 beer. It tastes great and the mood is perfect.
I also like the Pump house. I have never had a bad meal in a dozen tries, but, fwiw, a friend from Hungary got sick once, probably from shrimp since she was a vegetarian.
My wife really likes the owl cafe. I...
YouTubers are selling their results. Your mileage may vary.
After a half dozen attempts I turn out a pretty good brisket but I have yet to experience an ‘O’, if you know what I mean.
Son in law and I will walk the haul road looking for a caribou when he gets time off.
Blacktails and bears and fishes on POW island if stars align.
Moose and wolves and bears behind the house in September.
Deep sea fishing off of Guadeloupe or Hawaii, haven’t decided yet.
I have no points...
Over the last 25 years I have shared the best advice I can via open forum and IM. I almost always ask for a pic, a note and a rating for my advice. I must offer bad advice, so far, no pics, no notes, just interweb darkness.
My first was a loaner 30-30 from dad.
Then I bought a scoped Springfield and did not look back until I started muzzleloader hunting. Never even considered a scope for that.
I bought 2 of my 3 children 30-30 marlins for Bday number 12.
Both in their 30s and still using open sights.

First night or two is almost always tin foil dinners thrown into the fire.
After that it is precooked meals like the above. Grilled steaks, chicken breasts and pork chops. I put seasoning, butter and sauces in before sealing them up.
I boil a bunch of eggs before hand as well.
Sorry folks, the hunt got over and we raced to our home in Alaska.
Friday I saw nothing. I had high hopes for the spot but nothing showed.
Somehow I ended up with no photos from the second bear. It was a 3 or 4 year old sow.
Saturday morning threatened another warm day. The afternoon...
Wednesday morning we got up to overcast sky’s and threat of rain in the evening.
After breakfast we headed out to check baits.
The first bait we checked had been hit so we stood the barrel up and put some drippings on top.
The next one, about 2 miles away, was getting hit hard so we reset it...
Today was similar to yesterday.
We had Bison in the front yard when we got up but missed the photo op.
We had toast and eggs for breakfast but missed the photo op.
Checked some baits, they were all hit, but missed the photo op.
Got to the stand just before 5:00
We sat around, she read, I...
We had a pretty decent day.
After breakfast we went out to check and refill baits. 2 of the 3 we checked got hit last night but none of them were right for tonight wind wise. After checking baits we went back to the lodge for a lunch and a nap.
About 4:00 we were in our chosen stand for the...
Morning has arrived.
Here is a quicky view of the cutlery my wife brought on her first bear hunt/skin.
Saw a doe in the front yard this morning.
Saw a fox on a bale of hay.
A gaggle of geese flew by and a herd of bison spent the morning out the back door. Great start. Off to get vittles.
This morning got off to a rough start. I went out to load the truck and all signs indicated my battery was dead. I used the key hidden in the fob to get in but nothing worked.
I had a colleague try to jump start but that also failed.
We read the owners manual and consulted YouTube. No good...
My wife and I leave in the morning for our guided black bear hunt in Manitoba.
Originally she was the shooter and I was going to observe but she has recently decided she might have a problem actually shooting a bear, GOOD FOR MEEE!!
We have about a 4 hour drive to the lodge and then a little...
