Had the opporutnity to check another country off my hunting bucket list this past week, and spent a great week in Sonora chasing Mule Deer........ Yeah my job is pretty cool.... LOL.
While not a physically challenging hunt.... it wasn't easy. Countless hours in the high rack and still hunting...
When our now adult daughter moved out last year and took "her" labrador with her, Mama insisted we get a new puppy. After much arm twisting and convincing.....I finally conceded. Enter Mr. Mac Daddy French.
For Mama it was love at first sight!
"Kind of" in the market for a fairly inexpensive ATV or side-by-side. Not in a hurry, but could use one at my lake place and for ice fishing.
Trying to build a shop / cabin at the lake without borrowing much money, so funds are tight. What I do have is TONS of brand new in the box optics...
Another great weekend in the elk woods in the books! Friday night and Saturday morning were action packed, and if it weren't for some bull fever / poor shooting on my part I would be posting a pic of me withh the worlds biggest and oldest 5x5.... but apparently I suck.
Between Friday night...
My daughter Cassidy has had quite a year. She was able to take her first bull elk in October and it was a dandy! She was also lucky enought to draw one of the very limited either sex bison tags for West Yelowstone, which was lucky enough. But her luck is so good, we even got the snow needed...
As I believe I mentioned in an earlier thread.... my daughter drew a West Yellowstone buffalo tag.
We have been busy with other tags so far, but with the snow flying and the season opening next week it is time to get serious about planning. I have scouted all the likely areas throughout the...
Another great day in the woods with my little girl. It was a great day even before we belly crawled 400 yards into a big herd. Got even better when little deadeye anchored this super cool bull in his bed.
Looks to have 3 distinct pedicles...but I guess I'll know more when I get the head...
With September gone and this years tag punched, I was strolling down memory lane and thought you guys might enjoy the video of my 2008 bull. Haven't shared this one here before.
The crew and I went 4 for 5 this weekend with 3 bulls and 1 cow. I got the ball rolling Friday night when this small 6×6 lost his mind and tried to run me over after the first cow call. Happened so fast I completely lost my s#^t and airballed at 12 yards. I have killed a bunch of elk with my...
What is everybody's thoughts on this.... seeing more and more of these lately. You already can't drive on these sections...honestly what harm is it doing for an on foot bird hunter to walk the edges field trying to kick up some huns...hunt.... or heck even a big game hunter who carries the...
I've tagged out earlier in the season before but don't think i have ever had less time in the field before connecting. Work and family obligations didn't allow me to get out much yet, but got lucky and found a good one and it all came together.
Set elk blinds all morning and on the way back to...
Still super happy with my success from last week .. but got to give it up for my hunting partner who had to push the bar a little higher. Another super fun night in the elk woods.
Talked the boss into cutting me loose Friday to try and notch the old elk tag. Morning was pretty uneventful, but when I left the truck at 3:45 bugles filled the air. Must have been 10+ bulls going crazy in the draw I slipped into. Passed on 5 or 6 smaller ones and then managed to use the...
Kind of a frustrating season to this point that has included some " how did I miss that one " moments... and ended up with a brand new bow to try and get back on track. Stalk 47 (or there abouts) finally paid off with a good one.
Hoping to notch the ol elk tag this weekend so I can spend some...
