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 [...]

I Really Don’t Like Mine Toasted

When I was a bit younger and my actions didn’t turn out the proper results,  there were a few times, maybe more then a few times, that I felt there was no need that anyone should know.  But after a while you’re dragging this big bag on undesirable memories around that you have no release [...]

The Agonies of the Monday Morning After

I know, that title doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but somehow after what happened yesterday and how I feel today, and what I feel like I should do tomorrow it all makes perfect sense.  In short, yesterday I got talked into going chukar hunting with two of my sons, Todd and Tom.  Today [...]

1-800-Mr. Errand Guy

I got a chuckle tonight as I wandered through The Hunters Wife’s blog.  Jody did a little reliving of her single days when she needed help she would just call 1-800- Mr. fix-it guy or whatever.  I guess it was especially funny to me because of what happened to me last fall while elk hunting. It [...]

Fashions in the Wilds

Sometimes I sit down to write about a subject and know before I start that I’m going to get myself in hot water somewhere along the line.  With a subject that includes ladies, hunting, and fashions I’m guaranteed problems and some of them could probably come from my own household when I show a few pictures.  Oh well, [...]

Cats On The Flats

Mountain Lions have always intrigued me.  I can’t say I really like them because of their secretive ways, but they keep your interest for the same reason.  I don’t know how true it is but I’ve heard if you’ve hunted three years you’ve more then likely been observed by a Mountain Lion at some point [...]

What State (of mind) Are we Hunting In?

Thanksgiving brings relitives and friends together and this year there was an extra ordinary amount of them that gathered around the table as it was also my father in laws 80th birthday.  I believe the count reached 55 before we barred the door in fear we would run out of food.  Nah, in reality we [...]

There’s a Price For Practice to Make Perfect

We don’t run before we walk and we don’t give a speech before we learn to talk.  I’m sure Micheal Jordon threw up a few bricks before he became quite good at basketball and I’m sure Tiger woods busted 100 a few times before he became one of the best of golfers of all time.  I [...]

A Very Very Large Piece Of Humble Pie

As far as pie goes, if its not pumpkin pie I can live without it.  If I do eat pie, the juicier and sweeter it is the better, add ice cream and it’ll get eaten.  Toward the bottom of the pie charts is mincemeat pie, but on the very bottom and the most unpalatable is [...]

Waiting For the Wind to Change!

Anyone that hunts in the mountains knows all about this.  In the morning the wind thermals are coming down and then as the lower country starts heating up the thermals reverse themselves and head back up the hill.  It would all be good and well if you could 100% count on this but then you [...]
