Looks like OYOA taken to the next level. I really like the idea that it is a start to finish season, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I really hope you show season and hunt planning more. I would also like to see more field care after the kill. On thing I don't like about most shows is that...
we have plans to out thursday thru sunday, but with the kids so the weather might change our plans. Will wait until wed night to decide our final plan.

Years ago my wife and I worked our way thru an elk I had shot and when I ran out of burger I...

Fantastic! Great write up, gets me worked up just reading about it. In the heat of the moment it is nice to have a partner with to talk things thru. The three elk I have shot I was alone each time and would have liked to share the experience with. Just seems like I always pick a time to go...
