Sheep Pics December 2023
The week between Christmas and New Years is always a favorite to go look at bighorns in the unit by my home. The sheep are in small bands, in easily accessed areas. Current estimates put the herd at 150 animals, 1/3 of population objective. Sheep sure are cool animals!- CPAjeff

Bolt Face Etching
Quick question for you gun nuts, from a functionality standpoint, should one be concerned about the etching on this bolt face? The backstory - a neighbor of mine, who is new to hunting, brought over his new rifle to show me. The rifle was purchased off of gunbroker.com and the condition was... -

My "Best" Buck
Let me preface this by saying that I am not a mule deer hunter, I'd rather hunt pretty much anything else. After chatting with my then-nine-year-old son earlier this year around application time, he said he'd like to pack back in somewhere and hunt deer. Fast forward a few months, and with a tag... -
UT Sage Grouse 2023
Had a wonderful morning with my favorite hunting partner. We were both able to fill our two-bird permits. Moved lots and lots of birds this morning. There’s just something about a sunrise in the west. My son won the biggest grouse contest - one of his topped the scale at 5.5 pounds.- CPAjeff

2023 Father/Son Montana Bison Hunt
When I think about the west, I can't help but think of a few of the iconic species - mule deer, sage grouse, antelope, bighorn sheep, etc. But the one that stands out to me is the bison.

Youth General Season 2023 Success
This morning was the opener for Utah’s general season youth hunt. The pre-scouted birds worked perfectly. Two jakes were the first to arrive and at 15 steps, only one was able to escape. I REALLY wish this kid would put some shape to the hat brim. 🤦🏻♂️- CPAjeff

Adjusting Withholdings
Taxes are not my forte, so hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me... How many of you adjust your withholdings to get as close to zero as possible come tax time? My wife and I have always received a pretty good refund, but I'm open to the idea of changing things up. Honestly, it...- CPAjeff

The Benelli Click
Let me preface this by saying that I have the world’s greatest Father. He’s been my hero and friend since I can remember. As time goes by and people age, it’s kind of funny to see the little nuances that show up. For the past couple weeks I’ve been hunting birds with him and other family... -
