Yes Dear, ML It Is!
by gary sorenson Monday started off early with great expectations and very few plans. Sue and I were headed for the hills to do some bow hunting for elk and we wanted to get there before day light and it was an hour drive so the alarm clock had a hard time getting our attention [...]
Dancing With a Skunk
Four months out of the year I have hunting stories to tell, but it seems like the other eight months in the year I’m telling ‘morning walk’ stories. Sometimes I think I see more wildlife on these morning walks then I do when I’m hunting. But then again, all the animals I see in the [...]
Mystic Memorable Misses
Over at Hog Blog, Phillip is involved with trying to prove wither the black tail deer is a myth or if it is as real as sasquatch or even a lepercon. It doesn’t seem to take much to rattle some memories up from the recesses of my past, and this one did. Misses are just [...]
Speed Goats and Strange Bedfellows
Sue and I took the highway route to Denver Colorado this week and have thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The whole 1100 mile trip goes through wildlife country so you get to see deer, elk and hundreds if not thousands of Antelope. Once we left Utah and hit southern Wyoming the altitude doesn’t vary much between 5500′ [...]
Encounters, Close and Closer
I think one of the reasons most of us hunt is because of the opportunity to have close encounters with the game we are pursuing, sometimes even closer then we’d like. I believe that is one of the reasons I lean towards bow hunting whenever I can because you have to get closer yet and [...]
Game Biologists are Walking a Tight Rope
I was over on SoCal’s site the other day and Al had asked the question as to what others experiences have been in dealing with game biologists. They probably have a wealth of information but sometimes it tough to get to much out of them. Those that hunt you can understand, but if they don’t, [...]
Wild Game as it Moves Between Buds and Palates
I am neither a Chef nor a connoisseur of food, but I do know what tickles my taste buds and sooths the palate. Last night as I pushed back from the table after consuming my share, ok maybe it was a little more then my share, of roast from off Tom’s bear, I got to [...]
Dad’s and Son’s and Fish
Last weekend I see Tom went fishing and sure enough, he puts up a picture of his son and wife Shanna taken while on their outing. Then I was checking Benji’s, my oldest son’s blog, Getting Out, and there it was again, dad and his son. It sure brought back the memories of when those dads [...]
Ahh, Come on, It Was a Great Day!
Now you’ve heard the version or young fathers with families at home as to what happened on the first day of our bear hunt, so you need to hear the side from the next older generation. Sue was the one carrying the tag, and I was along to eat the noon sandwiches, and Zack, our eleven [...]
Hunting for Political Friends
I have an aversion towards politics, kind of a like a mothering moose cow has towards a wolf. I get dizzy easy and following some of these political arguments and rhetoric go around and around does nothing good to the stomach. I’ve always been amazed to see someone level headed enter such an arena and have [...]
