    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    Another fun morning from the Mississippi trip. Multiple deer seen, one shot at, 0 killed, lots of fun had.

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    Yeah I was the same way for a long time but finally the opportunity arose and the wife and I made a few sacrifices to make it happen. We will stay as long as the good Lord sees fit. Sadly for all others the Wyoming immigration authorities shut down the boarders and said no new residents...

    Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

    With three kids and a wife hunting these days, I finally had the perfect excuse to buy more rifles—a lineup of budget bolt-action rifles. I started with two Mossberg Bantam Patriots (.243 and .308). We loved the adjustable stocks, and to my surprise, both rifles turned out to be tack drivers...

    The rattlesnakes were still out on the first trip but the morning we killed was cold so no issues.

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    Lastly, I killed my first Wyoming whitetail on the way back home, but with no family along on that one, it just doesn’t feel worth sharing after all of the hunts we had together this year. We made one more trip trying to fill my boy’s general elk tag and a friend’s. We were able to get the...

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    We chased muleys a couple of times, but the buck I was after never showed himself. We did get my boy on a couple of really solid bucks—shots I would’ve taken—but he just didn’t feel comfortable with them because the windows of opportunity were so short. The same thing happened a couple of weeks...

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    The next trip out was for the opener of doe antelope season. My oldest boy and I each had two doe tags. Between where we live and the doe antelope unit sits the unit for my boy’s ewe bighorn sheep tag. We’d already made a trip over on opening weekend, but the only ewes we could get a shot at had...

    We are still alive down here. Took a new job so I’ve been tied up. I hope y’all are doing well up there.

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    Things only kept rolling from there. We headed up for the start of the early deer rifle season in the Gros Ventre, and the momentum from the rest of the year seemed to follow us right into that hunt. We got there the afternoon before season and hiked up the ridge to glass. After a little while...

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    The next morning, my middle boy and I decided to go after a deer we had glassed before the season. It was a little later in the morning, and he was still a bit annoyed with me for passing on a really nice buck he wanted me to shoot. It was the one time all season I held out—I had a particular...

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    From there, things slowed down quite a bit as we didn't hunt again until the start of rifle antelope. We had drawn decent tags, but my beautiful wife isn’t exactly known for her patience—so the first buck we saw after daylight, she said she wanted it. It was her tag, so that’s exactly what we...

    Family Hunting Adventures 2025 (Multiple species/Multiple States)

    I never know where to post these hunts—I’m never able to share them live, and there are always too many species and too many memories to split into separate threads. I’m not on here nearly as much as I used to be, but I always enjoy catching up with the old timers and seeing the newcomers on...

    Thankful for those that have shared knowledge and their willingness to help. We went over for the weekend and camped, played, fished, scouted, etc. It's a really cool area overall. We spotted several nice rams, a good many ewes, and quite a few youngins. We will probably make another trip over...

    That's great to hear. I had thought about waiting until October as well but wasn't sure with 30 tags out there. Appreciate the heads up and congrats on some nice ewes!
