    Less than mediocre elk hunter goes to AZ

    This is an under-rated strategy on a long hunt far from home. One night of blackout curtain sleep and blasting pressure hot water showers is such a mental lift.

    Grouse! Let’s See Them

    Opening weekend in CO was good but forgot to take any decent pics, still early season conditions. Weve only seen one female in 4 total days of hunting, no family groups up high yet in our normal spots, but imagine that is changing fast as the weather has finally turned more Fall-like. Pup...

    Catchphrases

    beat me to it. Solid. “I’m running entemann’s glazed for breakfast” “@DouglasR runs Kirklands bacon and Triptych beer for brekkie and I’m here for all that sh*t” etc If this is a thread title I think that’s an automatic entry to the ’23 Talkies awards. That’s like 10K views no matter the...

    Grouse! Let’s See Them

    I see a decent amount of sage grouse and I nearly always do a double take at how big they are. The one on the left in your pic could pass for a hen Turkey. 10 days from now I’ll be at grouse camp. Only the dog is more excited. Hoping temps slide a little lower as it gets pretty rough on all...

    Leftover CO

    Accurate statement on latency and distance to be sure, but it’s very doubtful the hosted servers that Aspira’s platform is running on are in CO. Aspira are almost certainly using one of the big cloud providers to provide server space (AWS, Microsoft, etc), so those data centers are where the...

    Best Alaska Books

    The classic: One Man's Wilderness - Dick Proenekke Not all Alaska - but most anything by E Donnal Thomas (Longbows in the Far North is all Alaska/Siberia: Longbows in the far north) I just bought a couple of the ones from posts above. Great recos!

    Lots of grasshoppers

    I would be down on the river with big foam dry flies as often as possible!! We hit a Mormon Cricket "Hatch" ("migration" ?) on the Green once for a couple of days. It was every bit as good as the 19 year Cicada hatch was in 2019.

    Colorado OTC - How bad is it

    All I'd add is that if you're hunting during the overlap with Muzzleloader (9/9-9/17 this year), that first weekend will be about as crowded as elk/grouse country ever gets. Still have 'summer' recreation in full swing, grouse hunters, rifle bear hunters, plus both Archery and MZ folks. But,as...

    Charter fishing in Cancun / Tulum

    Have fished with Pesca Maya a couple times as a 'day trip' from Cancun. https://pescamaya.com/day-trips-for-flyfishing-or-light-tackle-fishing-in-ascension-bay/ That is a long damn day from up in Cancun, but would be pretty easy from Tulum. Bonefish of the small mexican variety were everywhere...

    Pit Vipers

    I attempted to explain this to my son today. Even let him wear my costas for a minute on the beach. ”Sure, I can see better out of them, and I can see through the water, but they look like Dad Shades. No Drip.” There’s the youth of today in a nutshell. Note that I am 1000% sure I said...

    Pit Vipers

    I've spent ~50% of the summer at 15U Baseball tournaments. I see more Pit Vipers and Shawn Cassidy hair under flat brims on a Thursday afternoon than most people see in a year :)

    Kodiak flight logistics for meat

    Most flights from ANC back to the lower 48 are red eyes departing between 8 and midnight (eastern cities earlier, western later. Seattle being a notable exception and having flights all day long). I think United has recently added a mid-day departure to DEN, but for the most part, they are all...

    Ryan Busse is a coward

    Where do you see Busse holding a Gifford's board seat? https://giffords.org/lawcenter/about/glc-board/

    Drought for the west

    It’s unreal. I’ve been here for 27 years and I can’t ever recall a 3 week stretch like this one. My grass is growing 1” a day. They say it’s the extreme La Niña pattern, but it’s getting a little frustrating. we have had the local roofing guy on speed dial for years (we are one of the last...

    Is less more?

    One of our core SD pheasant trip group is a flat out Trap superstar (basement walls covered in 100/200 straight medals, etc). I don’t think he killed a pheasant until the 2nd or 3rd trip. he would ask us dummies all kinds of technical trap questions at night (“floating the bird” is the one I...

    Obscure go to band

    It's a rule for the last 7 years that 'The Bird Hunters' must be played on the jukebox at the bar near our pheasant spots in SD every night. Before dinner, after cocktails arrive. I don't know what happens if it isn't played, but I don't want to find out. The rest of their catalog is nice for...

    Obscure go to band

    Another Minnesota band, the Gear Daddies. If you grew up in MN in the late 80s/early 90s they may not qualify as ‘obscure’, but their whole catalog has been downloaded to my phone since you were able to get music on your phone. Their most ‘famous’ song:

    Sure signs of summer in your area

    Salmonflies are hatching. That’s the 'end of Mud season' signal but adequate clarity and moderate water flow only aligns with the bugs every few years. This is one of those years. Only saw 2 guide boats and a handful of civilian rafts all day yesterday on the Colorado in the rain. I wore out a...

    2023 Colorado draw results Moose/Prong/Elk/Deer

    Awesome! Looks like I did also - I forgot I put in for it (one of the ‘new’ hybrid tags this year) Sisters wedding trip 10/1-5, now a pronghorn tag 10/7-15 and then SIL’s 1st rifle elk tag 10/14-18. The two units are 300 miles apart so I better not be picky.

    NBA Finals

    Here was my pregame text in a group chat with some childhood buddies. We grew up playing hockey in MN and went to school together in WI, so The NBA has always been on the edge of knowledge for us. I am a total nuggets bandwagon-er right now. (apologies to any HTer with a neck tattoo or flat...
