    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    This year marks a decade of all red. On to Utah. Maybe they’ll be more generous.

    2024 Garden!

    My daughter (1st grade) made a list of the vegetables we’ll be planting and crossed them off as I laid them out on my plan. About 5 hours working this morning and I had the tiller running great. Tilled up the garden this afternoon. I’m really happy with the soil I found. I’ll till in some old...

    Wolves in Nevada???

    I spend a ton of time in northern MN where the wolf population is probably more dense than anywhere else in the country. It’s a better place because of it. Neat to see them expanding into their traditional range in other areas, as well.

    2024 Garden!

    For the last year, every time my daughter finds a seed of any type in her food, she goes and digs a hole in my new lawn to plant it. I caved a few weeks ago and agreed to start a garden for her, if for anything just to keep her from destroying my yard. I’m currently resurrecting an old tiller...

    DIY silnylon

    I’ve made a few tarps out of silnylon. They turned out pretty decent considering my lack of sewing experience.

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    In for elk, deer, oryx, ibex, sheep. I expect it to be no different than the last 9 years of nothing but red.

    Public School Woes

    I have a first grader and preschooler, both in the public school. I can’t say one bad thing about it. The teachers and staff have been nothing short of amazing. The problem I see is the parents that complain constantly about the public schools and then vote down every referendum that comes...

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    The worst part (the anticipation) is over. Now take it as easy as possible for as many days as you can and you’ll be set. If you really want a trip, try a kidney stone for your next visit to the urologist. It’s life-changing.

    Who bought this?

    The voices in my head were speechless after reading that. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me.

    The Big Snip - How bad is it?

    Until my dying day, I’ll never forget the feeling of that second needle going in. It felt like they tried to rip the kidneys out of my stomach via my nuts. The doc struggled with the machine that does the cauterizing and no nurse was present. My wife was there and said “we use that same machine...

    2024 AZ credit card hit

    No hit for me. After almost 1-1/2 decades I should have known better than to get my hopes up. This year stings a bit. I wanted it bad. Oh well. Maybe next year.

    Bull moose

    I killed a bull with my .270 WSM and 140 grain TSXs. He took zero steps. The next year my dad killed one with the same caliber and load. His also took zero steps. My sample size is only two moose, but they seemed easier to kill than a whitetail.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    I used buckskin I got from Glacierwear. I’d maybe go with something a bit thicker next time around. Of course, that would make sewing tougher, too.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    I have not, but I had Wild Things Furs make a few sets for me when they had some extra fur from a batch of beavers I sent them. They turned out nice and were dirt cheap to have made.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    I finished a pair of otter mittens for my wife last night. Just in time for the 3 day weekend. We finally have a little snow to enjoy, too. Been picking off a few coons here and there as I get time. Mostly just trying to help out the turkeys and pheasants come nesting season.

    Wyoming Long Range Turkey with Centerfire Rifle?

    Turkeys are my favorite thing to hunt. If I had to hunt them with a center fire rifle, I’d go fishing instead.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    We pulled traps this morning and got 6 more beavers. Nothing giant and it was too cold to mess with pictures. I just got home and weighed the 4 biggest ones from yesterday. They were 78, 62, 62, and 55 pounds.

    2023/2024 Trapping Thread

    Set some traps yesterday. My buddy had to pull my frozen waders off me because I could not get them off. -16 this morning when we did our first check. Nabbed a few monsters. Will pull traps tomorrow when it’s supposed to be even colder.
