    Alaska Dall Sheep hunt - All Nine Days

    Excellent from beginning to end. There should be no such thing as an easy Dall's sheep hunt, and you guys kept that bar high! You both really captured the determination required needed to generate what will be amazing memories, and bring back smiles to those of us who have been there and...

    D Day remembered

    It is a haunting, special place, indeed. My sons Boy Scout troop had the opportunity to actually camp at the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach several years ago. My oldest was actually awarded his Eagle Badge at a special ceremony on a wall overlooking the Cemetery and the Beach. Watching the...

    Books on the Battle of the Little Bighorn/Custer/Pictures of the Battlefield?

    Being a Montanan (though displaced over the years), I've always been fascinated with the Battle of the Little Bighorn since my first visit when I was a wee lad. Over the years, I've read several books on the battle and its participants, most recently The Last Stand by Philbrick and Crazy Horse...

    I know gettin' old is better than the alternative, but sheesh!

    Thanks for all the encouragement! Noharleyyet, great attitude and great plan. The shots seem to have worked their magi for now. Shot my (cranked down) bow some today without too much unexpected pain, I'm sure I'll push through - but I think the recommended window is a good one!

    I know gettin' old is better than the alternative, but sheesh!

    Starting to line up the upcoming hunting seasons. A visit to the doctor to address some complaining joints and get some steroid shots in my remaining "good" knee and my rapidly degenerating shoulder. The doc says something along the lines of "I don't know how much longer you can delay getting...

    Utah Credit Card hits

    Yep, congratulations, Randy. That will be a difficult and grand adventure for sure! Good luck! Oh, as usual I got blanked, except for general archery deer on the Cache.

    Hillbillies go a'huntin' (WY Unit 70)

    I've hunted Unit 70 several times over the last couple of decades - but back when you could draw at as a secondary choice, even got it as a leftover to one time. I can't remember the name of the ranch we hunted on, but it was off Poison Spider Rd. Easy to find now, because the new highway...

    Poor kennetreks

    I joined that club long ago. My old black lab chewed up a pair of hunting boots, a pair of gasses, and the corner of the dishwasher. Makes me smile now. She was a great friend. She's been gone now for a decade and a half, and I'm getting watery-eyed typing this, besides my memories, her name...

    30 years old, dreamin of big horns...what options?

    As discussed above, you're decades behind in the points game, but I'll add that with most states, there is always a chance you can draw with no or few bonus points - it does happen every year, not to me, but I hear stories. Only you can decide how much disposable (flushable) you can drain from...

    Dying Breed

    30-30 Winchester was my first deer rifle (bought it with my paper route money, much to my mom's chagrin - after all it was she who said if you want to buy a rifle get a job and earn it). And I bought a Henry's 22 Golden Boy a few years ago, after getting some feed issues straightened out, it's...

    Age and Hunting Dreams

    Living the dream(s)! Way to go, Randy! There seems to be a lot of, let's say "maturing" hunters contemplating the same. I've been able to experience a few adventures from my dream list - including an elk hunt with Big Fin :) - and I hope to fulfill a few more before this body says no more...

    School/Mass shootings what's the answer?

    These all too frequent tragedies have caused a lot of anguish and deep reflection in a lot of people. As stated from people on all sides of the spectrum on gun control, 2nd amendment rights, mental health advocates, and so on, I believe this has been a complicated and a long-evolved process to...

    Montana Moose Musings

    A great forever adventure! Congrats to all! And I second (third, fourth) the comments about the appreciative father-son (or daughter) memories and bonds forged from moments like these. I too have some burned into my heart.
