    Kona Hawaii Manta Ray Dive

    The light attracts plankton which the rays are feeding on. Plus I think they are pretty well trained to the lights and wait for them to turn on, dinner bell.

    Not on Your Bucket List

    I guess I can think of hunt situations I would pass on but can’t think of a game animal I wouldn’t hunt if given the opportunity. Are there animals I wouldn’t seek the hunt itself just due to price and logistics? You bet. Africa actually never was on my list and then read some of the safari...

    What's on the smoker today?

    O man don’t know if I’ll ever go back. This is better than store bought and almost half the price. Well worth the effort.

    Ethics of removing tree stands from public land

    I feel the same way about game cameras. If you’re actively checking and maintaining I have absolutely no issue. I have found ones strapped to trees that fell over, straps broke from being in sun too long, etc. found a tree stand two years ago been there so long had 8” of moss hanging from it...

    Fully guided Elk hunt or Braces?

    I swear half the people that get braces are talked into it by a dr that is all about “making your kids teeth perfect”. Our dentist mentioned it to my wife about my son he’s 10 hasn’t even lost all his teeth and they are straight no bite issues. Scam.. I tried to get my parents to not put me in...

    Hawaii- the Big Island to do’s?

    The manta ray night dive is worth it. Was a pretty neat experience just hope you have calm water because laying on surface looking down at a light will start a lot of chumming if you know what I mean

    Wool hunting clothing

    I grew up hunting in wool. Heavy wool pants that would weigh 20 lbs when you took them off at end of rain soaked day along with heavy wool sweaters. They were warm and quiet but normally too warm for the longer/steeper hiking I do now. Worked great for coastal blacktail sneaking through the...

    Still think they deserve a seat at the table.

    it’s not much of a stretch to assume the same people on these commissions are in bed with the same people complaining/petition/comment and then commissioner’s have a reason to bring the issues to the commission for vote. This is a very well thought out plan in both wa and col. and to the next...

    Beginner-Roosevelt Elk Hunting

    If you want a true Roosevelt I would stick west of I-5 on the Olympic peninsula or the coastal area of Oregon. They take on the look of Rocky Mountain elk pretty quick the closer you get to the cascades. Even the wdfw regs state that technically the cascade crest is the dividing line but...

    Titanium stove & Teepee tent questions

    I run a cimmaron and have used logs rocks etc to hold the bottom tight against the ground really helps with draft. I carry a benchmade saw pretty light and rips through smaller wood for stove. Get it going and use for cooking and heat while awake then pack it full and fall asleep. I make sure...

    Duck tacos

    this recipe started with a good organizing of the freezer. While digging in there bringing everything older to the front I found two packs of goose leg/ thigh and duck leg/ thigh meat with slightly blown seals. Little air in the vacuum bags. Most likely from getting shuffled around in...

    BOSS 20 gauge 2 3/4" #5 for ducks

    They suck when really cold as well. I had numerous shells brand new from box straight into my pocket never close to moisture not fire. Dents in primers. They are for waterfowl hunting “water”. They better work around moisture and cold. Way too expensive for that crap. All other shells were...

    Waterproofing Gear at Home?

    O man this is a whole rabbit hole if you start doing research. A lot of the fabrics have different handling instructions. Keep them clean for starters as you will reduce the breathability by clogging the pores of the waterproof fabric. Also I do t want to say specifically but I remember...

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    At about 6 degrees we decided to take a walk to river behind our place and see if any birds to jump. This was sitting with no decoys for last hour and half of light. Two limits. Headed out now to try again taking a couple of my field decoys this time.

    Did you shoot your first deer with open sights?

    Nope, but first I’d say at least 4 deer and first elk were all off hand with scope. Learning about finding a rest or shooting sticks was a revelation when I learned it. Although majority of my deer were coastal Washington jungle so normally closer shots.

    Christmas movies… sort of.

    My d as got me hooked on Christmas in Paradise years ago pretty funny. Nicholas cage, Dana carver and Lovetts. Beside the normal Christmas story and Christmas vacation. Had the kids 10,11, watch it’s a wonderful life this year. I think they liked it more than I thought they would.
