    Today has been a long day. I put on 11 miles with 2000 feet of elevation gain and subsequent loss. My morning plan was a good one. I was where I needed to be come first light. No moose as expected, but still plenty of other possibilities at this location. I gained some elevation and was...

    Depending on where you go there are a few places to glass from. What I have discovered though is that they are either there or not and the pockets are smaller so there isn’t really a good location to glass a large expanse hoping to catch moose moving. Plus it is 76 degrees here (12 degrees...

    It depends where you go. There are a lot of possibilities and some have better road access than others.

    So I finally got a good night’s sleep last night and feel half human again. After conferring with a local with recent sightings, I had the perfect plan for the morning. For the first time in three days, I timed the morning logistics perfectly and was in prime position at first light. Check...

    Apparently not well enough. I’ve been trying, but so far no luck. It feels like screaming into the abyss.

    Another early morning after too little sleep. I was up before my 4:00 am alarm clock. I definitely underestimated how challenging it would be to jump straight into a hunt while dealing with an 8 hour time zone shift to my sleeping clock. I also underestimated how taxing the drive time would be...

    I was a bit optimistic with my quest for a good night’s sleep. I was up at 3:00 am and could not fall back asleep. Once 4:30 rolled around I decided to just seize the day and take a nap later (which never happened). My dad and I needed every bit of the next two hours to get our act together...

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Just a quick update before passing out. I’ve been up for 24 straight hours now. It’s been a slog. I don’t even have my gear packed yet so decided a morning hunt at first light was not gonna happen. Have to get a good night’s sleep and get my shit together...

    Well here goes nothing my Hunt Talk brethren! A few of you already know I drew a bull moose tag in Colorado, but I haven’t started a thread about it until now. This hunt has a lot of emotions already tied up into it. The location is where I was born and raised, but I’ve been gone for 22 years...

    First elk on our first morning!

    That is awesome! You’ve done a great job figuring stuff out over the years and this was a big payoff for that effort. Good luck on the rest of your hunt!

    Best Dog Crate for Truck Bed?

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I ended up going with the Ruffland to save a little coin for other pursuits.

    Best Dog Crate for Truck Bed?

    I appreciate the offer, but don’t have time for a project like that at this phase of my life.

    Hunt Talk Radio #226 Heather Douville and Tlingit Culture

    It was an awesome episode! Heather should be reassured it was plenty interesting. She did a great job on the podcast!

    Permethrin?

    I’m a big fan of permethrin infused clothing. They are good for 70 washes and you don’t have to mess around spraying the clothes frequently. There are a number of brands that sell them now.

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    How does volleyball cost $10K/yr to participate in? I guess I’m ignorant of what is to come.
