    Do you get tired?

    This is the first year that I have ever struggled to find motivation to go hunting. I took a week off, hiked nearly 50 miles, saw very few deer, saw tons of people, witnessed a lot of jackass behavior, and it just became really frustrating. There were a few really nice mornings where it felt...

    Morning or Evening?

    I think I’ve probably killed animals about equally between mornings and afternoons. But there’s something about watching the sunrise and glassing in that morning light that I really love.

    Hybrid Goose - what’s the make-up?

    We get thousands every year and they are routinely all gray.

    Hybrid Goose - what’s the make-up?

    I’m pretty sure it’s an immature tundra swan. Immature Mute would still have a fleshy knob on the bill. Immature trumpeter would be much larger and have black at both the base and tip of bill, with pink center. Immature tundra is smaller, and have a mostly solid pink bill, lighter at the base...

    I feel like you just summarized my whole season, but with a much more interesting accent 😂. I sympathize, I really do. Loved the recap. We’ll get them next time!! 😁

    Montana Representative Rosendale at it again

    Why is any research on any pathogen now just called gain-of-function? I suspect most people don’t even know what that means. I really feel like some people would prefer we go back to the Dark Ages where we treated diseases with potions and incantations.

    American prairie. What's the issue?

    They’re around, at least occasionally. One was killed legally by a coyote hunter south of Glasgow a couple of years ago. I haven’t seen any here yet, but I’ve cut single tracks in the snow while coyote hunting in the Breaks. Saw one in the Little Belts two years ago.

    Wounded animal meat safety #2

    Your wife is not really wrong. An active infection presents more of a risk to you, pathogen-wise, than something that is healed. But the only way to know what you are dealing with is to look. Behavior is a very poor indicator of health. Animals are exceptionally good at masking not feeling...

    Oh No Ewe Aren't: Humbled by the Breaks

    Any workout regimen for a Breaks hunt should include serious hip flexor strengthening just for lugging around all that extra mud on the boots 😂 Congratulations on your ewe. Glad it all worked out for you.

    What is this growth?

    Do mind the angle if you puncture it. Ask me how I know… 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

    What is this growth?

    Concur. Most likely what is called a “hydrocyst” or “seroma”. Typically the body’s response to some sort of traumatic injury, almost akin to a really big blister. Should be filled with serum- mostly clear, maybe straw-colored to pink fluid. This is in contrast to something infected, which would...

    Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's

    This is pure gold. Short, sweet, Capstick-esque with echos of @neffa3 ‘s classic HT saga. 10/10. We need more comedy writers around here.

    Loosing a friend

    The sudden nature of it all must really have you reeling. I can’t imagine. It’s ok to not feel ok. Be gentle with yourself…this shit is tough. I’m sure you being there right now means the world to him and his family. I hope this time spent when it really counts brings you some measure of peace...
