The top three were an eye roll for me until I personally became the target of it last year. I’m no pushover - I plumbed the depths of the hands of power, and brought to light what I could. What I found was the administrations targeting WF&A embody those things to the same degree or more. No...
Nov ‘24 Trump claimed to dismantle government overreach. Jan ‘26 Trump condemns lawful public carry of guns and magazines, echoed by a chorus of Trump appointees including DHS Secretary and FBI Director. WE are now considered gunmen, terrorists, an assassins.

Down 15 lbs to 164. Terrible body composition, not fit at all. I’ll end the hunting year (Mar to Feb) with 34 days afield, and it has taken a major toll on my body. Each of the last 5 seasons before that I got 60 days in. Compounding the issue was “hunting smart” in 2025 made for about half as...
Right there with you…about 95% of the time. Continuing to sponsor unrepentant serial poachers is too much for me.
Would you buy Cheerios with a photo on the box of smiling Larry Nasser or Jerry Sandusky?
Take my kids out as much as I can! Freezer is packed. Might do a bit more small game this fall depending on how much venison the 6 of us eat between now and Oct.
Feb hopefully a few more cottontail outings. Try to find sheds from a couple big bucks I watched this fall

I have one set of elk antlers in my wall - plenty enough. My mindset right now is cows. They can be a fun challenging hunt, make whatever you’d like of it.
That is also a lot of $$$ in points. Might need a little memorial service once they’re gone.
Last day of deer season. Daybreak set up on the spot I scouted last weekend. Doe and two fawns read the script - small shooting lanes, and they moved through them a little faster than I expected. I rushed a shot at 190 and missed. I probably had another 1-2 seconds where I could have been more...
I don’t consider excitement before the shot in the same category as excitement afterwards. If I have lots of time before the shot to set up, stalk, etc. I nearly always can temper my excitement through the shot, and then have a huge celebration after I see the animal take a fatal hit or tip...
The Angry Bowhunter appears to have deleted his blog posts on his website, but (if I remember correctly) he once noted that if Muley Freak is the cancer of hunting social media, the Bowmars are AIDS.
I tightened things up for week 3. Same calorie count, but working on managing hunger/satiety, and adding more supplements. I would NOT recommend such a low calorie count for anyone. For me it is somewhere between an expirament and screwing around.
