    Did my own instant oats and granola options for this years hunt breakfasts. Stuck with ramen and tons of snacks for lunch. I tried a ton of freeze dried dinners and my favorites continue to be peak. That said, mashers with a package of chicken and dehydrated green chile also hits the spot...

    Estate Planning

    Man, this is a sensitive and personal topic for me. When my dad passed, I was only 26 and it was an absolute sh*tshow. Not that there was much to be left, but apparently he opted that taxes weren’t for him the last many years of his life. Little did I know that Uncle Sam still finds a way to...

    In Praise of the Neck Roast

    Not sure about favorite, but damn good. Need to explore more to determine which is the best. I cooked up the neck roast from this years bighorn sheep ram and used Hank Shaws barbacoa recipe. I cooked on low for over 10 hours. Made this on a family ski weekend for a big group and it was a hit...

    Venison Stock

    Love this. We always save all bones and make our own stock - whether it’s elk, deer, chicken, etc. It’s a relatively easy thing to do on a Sunday when football is going too. Like others have mentioned, save all the random cutoffs from cooking in a gallon freezer bag. Between hank Shaw and...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    Thank you all for following along! As I complete this write up, I am sure at times it felt long, uneventful, boring. What I hope I captured is the absolute highs and lows I felt throughout my 13 days straight of hunting and 7 days of scouting. It was an amazing roller coaster that challenged me...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    .338 Marlin Express. I know it’s overkill but also sentimental. My Dad purchased this gun a few months before he passed - wanted a fun lever action to use for elk. That gun has found many elk down over the last 12 years since and I wanted to use that for a ram as well.

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    Feeling like a new person, we got loaded up and headed up to the trailhead. The weather was amazing as we hiked in the 7.5 miles. We set up camp a little over 12,200’ and made our way up to a glassing point mid-afternoon to catch the evening action. That night, I had the biggest sheep tease of...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    It was great to sleep in the popup on a non-air mattress for the first time in a bit. I listed to the rain hit the top off/on through the night. I had a plan to wake up and drive up the canyon to a relatively good glassing point close to the road that looked high above. I had seen on the...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    I took a leisurely drive down to a lower elevation, stopping to glass anything that looked like sheep areas along the way. I also scoped out some access for me to hike in later. The smoke was still pretty bad, so I opted to head all the way down to an area that was closer to 8,000’. I set up a...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    I learned the lesson the hard way of trying to stretch my water too far on the hike to the new basin. I passed a couple nice creeks that would have made refilling a breeze, but I opted to roll the dice thinking I would pass other seeps along the way to the ridge where I planned to camp. As I got...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    Thankfully I drew a tag in a part of the state I am well familiar with having elk and deer hunted it routinely for years. I have many personal connections with local folks in the area and with so few tags awarded, people are generally rooting for you. I started conversations with folks early in...

    My 2023 Colorado Sheep Hunt - details, story and recap

    Buckle up – I am trying my best to capture my 2023 Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep experience. I will post the details as I am able to sit down and capture my thoughts. Let’s start this with an email I received April 18, 2023 from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Like always, I only key in on two...

    2023 Colorado Sheep & Goat Results

    Congrats! Busy fall indeed. Thankfully, I know my wife will be pumped but it's still insane. Thankfully we had already planned for me to be out for 10 days for archery elk. Archery elk will likely just have to take the back seat for this season as trying to double dip right when my wife...
