You shouldn't have trouble finding a good buck - especially if you look over the next ridge away from the roads. Also as mentioned, take at least two spare tires. That country eats up tires.
Being a native Montanan, the Custer Battle has always been a compelling bit of history to me. Visiting the battlefield, especially in the heat of the summer or on a lonely, less crowded fall day, is quite simply haunting. I have a couple of full bookshelves of materials, old and recent (based...
My THTM story (at least one of them...)
“Spring” musk ox hunts involve temperatures that rarely get above -10°F, lots of wind, and being endlessly towed across the frozen tundra and ice in a teeth-jarring wooden qamutik behind the Inuit guide’s snowmobile in search of the prehistoric beasts...
Always a special place to me. My great-grandparents homesteaded the farm just to the east of Freezeout. Back in the day, my grandmother even won a local beauty pageant and was named Miss Freezeout Lake (when it was a bit less odiferous - as she always added to the story ;)).
I was always told such circles where "teepee circles", but Eric's comments gave me pause. I did spend probably too much time this evening on Google Scholar (just as I often do for my "day job" as a college engineering professor), and I found several research papers discussing the archaeology of...
However it worked out, Bat Out of Hell became became our must play tunage for Wyoming antelope hunting. When luck was not going our way, the kids would insist on popping in that CD, and "I'll be go to Hell" if things didn't usually turn around. And that's the story I am sticking to!

Not TSA, but similar land border security crossing from one Middle Eastern country to the next. I was one government-sponsored travel, had a "get out of jail free", "please extend all courtesy" letter from the US embassy, before walking through the scanner, I showed the letter, explained that I...
I agree with most, I think they are cool critters and add excitement and smiles to the outdoors on the rare occasions when I get to see them. However...when I was a teenager I had summer jobs working at a cemetery. A family of badgers moved in to the nicely manicured grounds and as you can...
As has been popular to say of late, just like elections, choices have consequences. It is a sad deal for NC State, but the two unvaccinated players made their personal choices and it unfortunately affected the rest of their team. That's where the discussion should be, among the team.
As with everyone, opening the memory banks leads to a flood of adventures that give me a rush of warm smiles. But three that jump out of the Dad in me:
(1) My oldest son's first cow elk hunt. On a very steep uphill shot on the cow, the rifle bucked and solidly scoped him above his right eye...
