    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    I opted for the day before Thanksgiving. Food, football, four days off work. Spent quite a bit of time driving to see family so I was on my butt a lot the first couple days.

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    I opted out of laughing gas for my procedure so the doc asked if I wanted to try a VR headset during the procedure. I'd never used any type of VR headset at all, so I said I'd give it a try. Shortly after we were done, doc proceeds to tell me he's the only urologist in the country...

    Kids

    It is a chore, and you should be ready for it. I will tell you this much, people make kids an excuse for personal laziness. People who complain about their kids are lazy. I say that with full disclosure that I have the same exact thoughts at time to time too. Then I realize I’m being a lazy asshole.

    Kids

    That “freedom” that you speak of is replaced with reward. We certainly don’t get out as much as we used to as a couple but I’d rather spend a night in with the kids than go out and do some of the other stuff we did when we had “freedom.” Of course prioritizing our marriage and our own hobbies...

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    More than likely my last duck hunt was Saturday. It was 50 degrees so we got a couple of the older kids out for a sit in the blind. We set up at 10:30am, went into town and got lunch and some rest, then brought them back out for the hunt around 3pm. It was busy enough for 2.5 hours they...

    Steel shot for geese

    Hevi-Metal 3in 2 shot if your only choice is the 20ga. It’s loaded with 30% bismuth and 70% steel so it performs better on geese even with smaller shot size. Probably find it for $33/box. The difference in performance over regular steel is noticeable and worth the extra money.

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    After the extreme cold and wind let up a bit, new birds definitely moved in with another push. Had a lot of fun shooting a three man of mallards with a bonus pintail and some geese on Saturday and then a three man limit of geese Sunday morning. I had not yet seen a single Quill Lake goose this...

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    Snow and cold that blew in around Christmas in our area brought down much needed fresh birds. Hoping this coming arctic blast does some of the same with what's left in the Dakotas to the north of me. It'll will probably push our ducks out of the area, but hoping it brings new geese.

    Congrats on a great ram. Looks like amazing country to sheep hunt in.

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    Little to no weather in our area for the last month. We killed some ducks and geese around here late-october and early november, but it has gotten very stale. Birds are very patterned with the mild weather and no snow cover to speak of. Even the guys I know that scout and travel around to...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    Ouch. I don’t even know how to respond to this one you’re so right.

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    You're not wrong to that point. But in my opinion, his method, message, advocacy, personality, and an actual realistic perspective on western public land hunting puts Randy in another tier over the typical hunting "influencer." Cam cut his teeth on the real deal. But to pretend either of...

    Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park

    I like Joe. I like MOST of his content on the podcast. He brings in good guests and has interesting conversations most of the time. I will continue to listen to his podcast. That being said, outside of a few of his first hunting trips with Rinella and maybe a few I don't know about, I doubt...

    CO BGSS 2024

    Non-resident vote is A5 and R5. I don't think eliminating those OTC options for residents is the right thing to do for the hunters who live there. In my experience hunting OTC Colorado, my run-ins afield with residents versus non-residents is 1 in 5.
