Waterfowl Hunter Shot - Apparent Accident. Iowa.
There was a podcast I listened to a few years ago, I think it was Dive Bomb, where they interviewed a Canadian guy who was present in a pit blind when one guy fatally shot and killed another guy in the pit. Scary stuff. Really made me rethink safety talks when hunting out of pit blinds with...- TheGreek

Waterfowl Hunter Shot - Apparent Accident. Iowa.
Exactly. No bird or any animal for that matter is worth the consequences that can occur if safety is not first and foremost. At the end of the day, if the bird gets away, who cares? There will be more opportunities. There is no taking back a fatal accident when it comes to guns and hunting. Like...- TheGreek

NW Colorado Deer Numbers
While I did not see a deer opening day, I did see a big six point bull elk with ivory tips standing on a BLM road about 20 min after a truck had gone past. Of course I didn’t have an OTC elk tag in my pocket as I’m still a NR this year and didn’t want to spend the money. -
NW Colorado Deer Numbers
I hunted opening day of 2nd rifle in one of the NW units, didn’t see a single deer on public. Very disappointing. -

WI Grouse Camp 2023
The end of grouse camp is always a little sad. I only see most of these guys for this single week a year. We look forward to it all year and then it comes and goes in a flash. I reckon that’s how all good hunting trips go. We had too much fun. We drank too much. God knows we ate too much...- TheGreek

Friday, 10-20-23, the official last day in grouse camp as the rest of the guys start driving home first thing Saturday morning, found my partner and I running into other hunters and finding coverts that didn’t look like what was expected based on maps. My partner and I didn’t flush a huge number...- TheGreek

WI Grouse Camp 2023
I had a good day Wednesday, 10-18-23, and managed to kill three grouse. We flushed a lot of grouse. Sometimes you can see the flushes a little better and luck goes a long way when it comes to grouse shooting. I also managed a single woodcock kill. Flush count for Wednesday for my hunting...- TheGreek

Crops and their Contents
Crops from ruffed grouse from our 2023 grouse camp in N WI. The biggest surprise to me was the amount of crops that were empty but the nuts and other critters are cool too.- TheGreek

Minutes after I wrote this, I found a tick embedded on my inner thigh. Had to remove him with a pair of tweezers and now I have a nasty welt on my thigh. Horrible things.- TheGreek

WI Grouse Camp 2023
Much worse than the past years. I’d guess because no hard frost yet. We are pulling multiple ticks off each dog after every covert and a few off of us at the end of the day.- TheGreek

WI Grouse Camp 2023
Another tough day. We moved birds but didn’t see most of the birds we flushed. I managed to kill a snowshoe hare that ran down the trail but that was the only blood in camp for the day. Some of the guys fished in the afternoon and slayed the crappies. Final numbers for my hunting partner and I...- TheGreek

WI Grouse Camp 2023
A tough day in the woods. We moved some birds but didn’t see many of the flushes we had. We also ran into a bunch of other hunters. There were already trucks parked at 3 separate covers we wanted to hunt which made for a frustrating morning. We saw license plates from Virginia, Georgia...- TheGreek

Another good day. Finally killed a grouse. Also limited out on woodcock. We got into them thick in the last covert we hit. And even helped an old local couple out road hunting for grouse change a flat tire. Final numbers for the day for my hunting partner and I. We should have killed a few more...- TheGreek
