    So, we're going to be Sheep hunters....

    Congratulations! Make sure you talk to the biologists an NMGF. I've known them along time and they are great and helpful folks.

    Bears are awake!

    Yep. My Uncle in Kalispell (IN Kalispell) had one in his backyard the other day!

    Are Deer Camps Dying?

    In Utah, family and friend camps are alive and well. Mini-cities, really.

    How important is a high quality cooler for meat care?

    I typically use a big, old Coleman and then throw an old sleeping bag over and around it. Has always lasted through our Wyoming antelope hunts.

    Smith River Draw Odds

    Count me in as another who forgot this year. But my luck has always been bad in this drawing anyway - although I did get to float it in the prehistoric days when I was a teenager before permits were a thing. I did get in for a couple of Super Permit chances this year though.

    Thoughts & Prayers please

    I know you will always have a deep ache in your heart, but as your picture shows you will always have treasured memories that make you smile. So, so sorry for your loss.

    Things you've mistaken for elk/deer

    Many rock-alopes/deer/elk. The one that makes me still smile is my super-successful, crawl-through-cactus, ultra-stealthy stalk many, many years ago on a long-before-I-got-there dead javelina.

    First hand Covid symptoms

    My wife, a hospital pharmacist, told me the other day that flu cases were down 98% compared to last year. That seemed to huge, so I looked it up (CDC). Yep. I'm sure somebody will look at all of the causal factors - but it seems like the masking, social distancing, hand-washing are effective...

    Any PADI members?

    Started diving back in the 80's. It's pared down a bit since moving to UT 20 years ago, but still try to go when I get somewhere good. Last time was a couple of years ago in Maui. Favorite place is up and down the Florida Keys, as much about the attitude down there though. Although I did do...

    COVID, the gift that keeps on giving. Stay strong, and as others have mentioned, listen to the Dr.'s. Everyone is learning more and more about this disease - some good, some bad - I look forward to hearing about your future adventures in the hills and the hall of legislation.

    First hand Covid symptoms

    Dang, Randy, sorry to hear about that. Glad you're on the mend. COVID has entered all of our spheres. I can't believe there is still the doubt about its seriousness. We will get through this, but the cost is and will be heavy.

    Pasties!

    I've for some reason gotten away from them, but used to make them by the bushel when I was going to Montana Tech in Butte a lifetime ago. I think I may revisit them this weekend! And the chili jam looks to be an excellent option - other than that...gravy. Oh and just to clear things up: these...

    Is the Coronavirus a Joke to some People?

    Besides the very real financial impacts, it seems like the virus is actually beginning to reach into all of our circles. I am glad Randy's diagnosis was on the good side, and I am very sorry for NoWiser and way too many other families. Be smart everyone. Do what you can. Do what's right. The...

    Anchoring a goat

    I've shot one Mountain goat and two sheep. All, initially, went bang-flop with the first shot from my 30.06 (or a 25.06 on one sheep). The goat was on a fairly wide ledge, about 50 feet above a sloping boulder field (which we were on a few hundred yards below). After the shot, he laid there...

    Montana 900-20 non resident archery tag

    For what it's worth, I just checked and I drew a non-resident tag. Now, I just need to figure out where to go. :)

    Particular music on a hunting trip?

    However it ended up that way, but "Bat Out of Hell" became, and remains, our good luck antelope tune.
