Rough trail, I was 15. I did actually smell it a few times. I thought it was just burning the hide. The deer kept shifting in rough sections so I would pull it back up where it was supposed to stay but I was too tired/lazy to re-strap it right. In fast sections I wouldn’t smell anything. It...
First deer I ever got was on my TT500 back in the 1970s way in the back of an area called Ballanger Canyon. I was so tired by the time we carried the deer up to where our bikes were, I could hardly walk. It was about midnight. At that time I hadn’t learned anything about deboning. I strapped...
What if we interpret sound waves differently. When we hear anything how do we know everybody else hears it the same? And smell—we may not smell things the same either.
I love Mayo rubbed all over a large prime rib to hold more seasoning on it as it rotates on the rotisserie is the ticket! It’s a lot better than it sounds, trust me
I’m pretty sure that would be full on gross w miracle whip
I’m in Ventura County and we have ran into these dirt bags in the back country a few times. They weren’t necessarily poaching but they would ride around you on the dirt trail and completely screw up your efforts. They didn’t care about screwing up our hunt. They’d sweep every canyon and just...
My Dad quit college and joined the Navy after Pearl Harbor. He was a radio operator on the USS Rosemond in the South Pacific, then on a carrier around the Alusion Islands. He was a great hunter, dedicated father to me and respected by everyone in our town. He was a true badash nobody wanted...
Horopito. I have never been there but I understand it should be nice. We’re doing Lahar Sika Wilderness Red Stag Hunt. It got put on hold the last 2 years due to covid. I’m really excited about this one!
Yes, definitely. It’s funny you mentioned that. We did it 2 years ago, had a great time—3 of us shot a ton of pigs. The guy had go pros mounted on the rifles, inside the copter, and 3 cameras outside the copter. They changed SD cards every time we switched shooters. Luckily my buddy used...
Doing some heli hog hunting in February
I have New Zealand Red Stagg in May
Summer gator bow fishing in Louisiana
The fall just local California deer, bear and birds/rabbits
I have seen unions work really well. I have also seen unions kill an industry and drive companies into the ground and push jobs overseas. Greed can come from either side.
Congratulations! I only have one kid but the first 24 years with him has been great! You already know the key—-stay close to them, include them in almost everything you do. Enjoy the ride!
