It’s been a slow frustrating season for me. Bow season was unremarkable except the dry and the heat. We were happy for a trailer and AC. I did not even have the pleasure of seeing an elk with my bow in my hand.
Fast forward to opening weekend. My son and I beat the weather in and got set up...
It's been nice the last 2 years to see the antelope coming back after a bad winter and blue tongue. I finally put my family in for rifle tags again.
Opening morning my son and I went out to hopefully fill his tag. It would be his first antelope. We were a little late getting out, but since...
On our Honeymoon to Hawaii this year we caught a few nice fish. I surprised the wife and had hers mounted along with mine.
My wife's spearfish was 5 feet long and much easier to find a place on the wall to hang it.
My Blue Marlin was another story. I think my eyes were bigger than my...
The wife and I finally both had days off and made it up to Ft. Peck a couple of times. It's amazing that in just 2-3 weeks it goes from lots of snot rockets (Northern Pike) to more bass and walleye. A day on the water is always better than a day at work. Couldn't figure out how to get them...
Well, after a week of fighting with the website I finally got my pictures onto the site so I can write the story of my wife’s first elk ever.
After building enough bonus points she finally drew her cow elk tag where I regularly bow hunt. She was excited to say the least. We drove up and got...
I was curious if anyone had some suggestions on basic trapping videos? Growing up in NY I took the required trapping course, but never pursued it. Now that we bought a small farm and are living out of town I am getting some interest in it again. The videos I bought don't do much in the way of...
Well, it's been a very busy fall and everything seemed to coincide at once. We bought a new farm back in June and finally managed to close during archery season. I had to come back home early twice but we finally managed to get it closed. Although I connected with a nice bull my favorite...
Does anyone know if they fixed the bridge on Horse camp road? We are in the process of moving and I don't know if I will have time to get up and check if it is usable.
Thanks
I took my boys and friend out for a day on the water since the wind and weather were going to agree. I actually got out a little a head of schedule as usually the first day is lots of fixes and problems. We had a good day as one of my boys caught his biggest walleye to date, a 4-5#. I managed...
Got up to Ft. Peck for the first time this year and had a good day. We took our soon to be son up for his first trip fishing in a boat and he caught a 1 pound and 2.5 pound walleye. My biggest walleye was the one at the bottom of the stringer and weighed 5.1 pounds. Missed beating the wife's...
For those of you who hunt in the breaks, we went up this weekend to see what burned to prepare for the opener and I thought I would share some pictures.
We were up this last weekend looking for sheds and I thought a few might be interested in some pictures. We didn't go all the way into the bottoms, but it looks like the majority of the cottonwoods and willows were greening up and there were patches of grass and weeds starting as well...
I was wondering if anyone knows if this is true. I was told that whitetails drop their antlers about now followed by Mule deer and then elk. I just have a hard time believing that an elk, who has to grow substantially more antler mass than a whiteail, would drop his antlers the latest. Thanks...
2011 has been a kind year to me. I shot a 6x6 bull while helping my best friend find his 6x6 and I finally shot a respectable whitetail. I stopped down to visit a rancher friend and dropped off some eggs and a chicken we butchered before hunting season. After visiting for a while I left to go...
So do you guys think this is the same bull as the one in the pic on the right? I understand it was shot in the same area and scored 398 (that's what I was told). I have no idea who it is since a friend sent me the pics. It looks to be the same one to us.
Well, this year has been very kind to me to say the least. Hopefully I won't pay for it next year. We got a bit of a late start since my Fiance was up late doing homework and got a slow start. After we got the boat in the water everything went smooth. Got to my preferred destination, parked...
Here's a pic from the first day out of the year for pheasants. I only had a few hours to spare but we still put up several birds. Got some great points on hens, but only this guy let us get close enough fora shot. Leaving to go to another part of the ranch some guys drove in to where we were...
Here's some pics of my bull from just a few days ago. He's by no means a monster and I'm certain many will post much bigger ones, but I am very happy with him. We were up on a bluff overlooking the bottoms scouting when I heard a bugle from behind us. I found a large group of cows heading...
For anyone who hunts in the Breaks there is a fire 30% contained as of yesterday burning on BLM and the CMR from Skyline drive to Road 837. It is burning mainly in the timber.:mad:
