So Long Little Pete, It Was too Short a Run
August 22, 2011
I’m sure I spent enough time in the Armed Forces to hear every joke and snide remark there was about having two left feet. But five years ago we had a couple little friends born on our place that both had two left feet and when they were trying to learn how to walk it probably [...]
Crunch Time
August 18, 2011
I looked at the calendar this morning and laughed at the cute joke someone had played on me. They had rolled the calendar so that it read “August.” Seriously, how stupid do they think I…huh? What’s that? Oh, I see. So, as I was saying, archery season begins here in Idaho in 12 days. Got [...]
Antelope Appetizer
August 5, 2011
With antelope seasons fast approaching, I thought it would be appropriate that our new featured video is an antelope hunt in eastern Oregon.
Mr. Bear, Shy and Aggressive
July 31, 2011
Its always been a marvel to me how black bears can be so shy, and yet in their own way aggressively live in close proximity to humans. I don’t know how many times I’v have seen bear while out hunting and the second they know you are around they mysteriously just disappear. Yet they have [...]
Wounded Deer and Awkward Situations
July 19, 2011
I’m using only the first names to protect the not-so-innocent. Brad and Johnny were headed to their favorite duck hunting spot on the river when they caught movement on the side of the road. Brad slowed down and they saw a deer that had been hit by a vehicle. It’s back legs had been broken [...]
Comments are Working
July 15, 2011
Just wanted to inform everyone that comments are working again. I installed a new spam blocker and didn’t realize it goofed up the comment functionality of the site. That has been corrected. Thanks to those who let me know about the problem.
Fastest Trigger in the West
July 13, 2011
Thirteen years ago I hunted quite a bit with my brother, Benji. This particular fall, I was elk hunting with him while my dad came along to help us find the critters. I really don’t remember much about that day, really, but I do remember the final 20 minutes of the day quite vividly. The [...]
Big Oregon Elk
July 5, 2011
Since we lost our content from the past year, I wanted to re-post the pictures from my cousins monster Oregon bull elk from this past season. Prior to the season, their scouting had located two more bulls similar in size to this guy, but on opening day, the other two bulls were shot by another [...]
I Didn’t Mean it to be Funny, And it Wasn’t
July 1, 2011
For years when we had company over the subject always got around to “what are we dining on today”? Usually it was deer or elk with a possible exception of Goat, Bear, Antelope or Moose depending on how lucky the draw was for us that year. Well for the last year when I heard ‘whats for dinner?’ [...]
First Turkey Video
June 29, 2011
My grandfather is 81 and is responsible, at least partly, for passing on the hunting genetics to me. Despite his love and zeal for hunting, he had never bagged a turkey, but he was looking to change that this spring. The following video is his hunt in which my mother (his daughter) filmed him on his [...]
