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 [...]
The Perils Of Practice
Well I decided I’d better tell my version before Gary gets his word in… although he could make this much more interesting and fun! … Anyways… I’ve had some struggles this year in getting back on target with my bow. In my defense I have been trying to extend my shooting range, hence there have [...]
Summer Wildlife In The Backyard
We have been enjoying the sights from our back deck this past month as deer have begun to pass through the upper pasture. We’ve been seeing a little spike buck, a small fork horn and a larger fork, with a tall rack. The tall forked horn definitely has the same genes as the buck that was with the [...]
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′ [...]
Eureka Sleeping Bag
On a recent camping trip, I finally got to try out the new Eureka Rimfire sleeping bag. The weather was mild, albeit cold for the time of year. It got down to right around 30 at night, and the bag is rated for 15. Ease of Use: This one goes without saying – it’s a [...]
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 [...]
Hard Ridin’ and Fast Shootin’
I just discovered a fairly new shooting sport that involves some fast paced action! This might not seem like it has much to do with hunting… but it does involve guns and people who enjoy shooting sports. When the Farrier was here the other day, shoeing our horses, he mentioned he was getting involved with the Cowboy Mounted [...]
Sue’s Idaho Spring Bear Hunt
The last day of spring bear season was May 22nd… and I’m having a hard time getting back into the non- hunting mode… Turkey ended May 25th and slipped right on by without getting a hunt in. We got the notice from Idaho Fish and Game that Gary and I were unsucsessful in our application for [...]
Monster Brown Bear
I just received an email from Micah Ness of Wilderness Pro. Micah is from an Idaho town not far from me and we met through a mutual business acquiantance. We both share a passion for filming outdoor adventures, and Micah is turning his passion for the outdoors into a business in Alaska with his adventure [...]
