    2024 - Bryan's Season of Redemption. A Live Feed

    4/18 Well the Montana combo draw was a bust. I've been looking into other possible hunts around the west. I've somewhat come to the conclusion that a post rut or late season elk hunt might not be the best idea for introducing Sam to western hunting. He's starting from square one with gear. Our...

    3/30 - The Build I've primarily been a deer and pronghorn hunter since moving out west in 2011 at the young age of 19. I always wanted to get into elk hunting but didn't know how. I've had a few resident muzzleloader tags in Washington but almost never see elk during the season. I somehow seem...

    I think it took some talking it out to make her see that hunting is what I live for after her and my daughter, but she gets it now. Thanks dude! Good luck to you too

    HT! Its been awhile... and by that I mean I haven't been active on here for awhile. My life has had some serious ups and downs over the past two years. My daughter was born in Sept of 2022 and with the ridiculous cost of child care my wife and I elected for her to stay home. This means that I...

    Does Camouflage Really Work

    Depends on the context. Stop and stalk archery pronghorn I'd say it's very necessary. Rifle hunting black bear on the other hand, I role with alot of earth tone solids.

    Kings Camo XKG Down Transition Jacket

    I went for the full set of Kings 5 years ago and I was not a fan. Ended up junking it and piecing together a sitka setup through camo fire sales. Maybe there clothing has changed since then 🤷‍♂️ I've heard good things about black ovis if you don't want play the sales games.

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    Finally, last week the wife and I went on a float trip for chinook salmon with Sage Waters Outfitters on the coast. It was our first time salmon fishing... both of us being from the midwest. It was awesome! Went home with a limit of 4 in the cooler. I'm definitely hooked. Her words on the way...

    This Aug 1 bear opener was a blessing and a curse. We hiked in a day early and we were on bears the whole time but got chased out by the biting flies and thick smoke. I'm still in search of my first bear. Hopefully tomorrow's day hunt goes well

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    I've really fallen behind in this with summer chores. I've been hitting a local lake once our twice a month. Normally I won't keep trout in the summer but it's deep, cold, and the tiger trout in this lake cut amazingly. Last time we were there we saw a cow and calf moose

    Well, turkey season has come and gone. I went 1 for 5 on opportunities at gobblers. Most disappointed at myself then anything. After talking to John more he pointed me in the right direction for improving my shotgun setup. Namely switching to a Patternmaster choke and Apex or Federal TSS ammo...

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    We as hunters don't admit it enough, but I've been struggling this turkey season. Some people just give up instead of continuing to grind. I spent 5 days hunting with alot of excitement, close encounters, and learning from failure but no success. This past Tuesday after blowing it when I had a...

    Last day scouting today, I'm ridiculously excited about turkey season. I've got 4 public land spots with toms in my pocket. Good luck on the WA opener tomorrow everyone.

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    The last month hasn't been too eventful here. The ice on WA lakes went out extremely quickly the last half of March. Open water fishing is finally picking up but I've got my eye on turkeys. Went out this evening to some public land by my place: 2 cow Moose, pack of jakes, and a tom with 3 hens...

    I keep looking into charters out on the coast! WA covid rules have definitely put a damper on some of my last year... hopefully I'll make it out that way this year.

    Hit the Deer Lake March 1 opener yesterday and I may have only caught one fish but it was worth it! 30" laker, ended up with 5.5lbs of filets in the freezer. A buddy picked up a 22" laker and we marked close to 20 fish in 5 hrs. The forecast here in eastern WA is looking pretty warm. I've had...

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    Couldn't agree more! Unfortunately, the WDFW doesn't see it the same way. They tend to plant brown trout, tiger trout, or tiger musky in an attempt to control perch numbers. If that fails they tend to just poison the entire lake...

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    Went out and did a little ice fishing this morning. Couldn't find anything with any size so I kept a dozen extremely small perch for cut bait later on in the season. The real excitement was seeing 80ish elk a half mile down the road from my house! Apparently I need to reevaluate what unit I hunt...

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    I discovered yesterday that my wife must at least kinda listen to my hunting and fishing rants because she bought me a CVA Accura v2 for valentines day! She's definitely a keeper! A little back story, last fall was a serious bust for me big game hunting.... so in all my research it became clear...
