    RIP Mr. Lightfoot

    I saw him in a small hick town in Wallowa County Oregon in 1991, it was a good show. RIP

    Pre '64 winchester

    The 30-30 HAS value, memories of your Dad and money cannot buy that. Also it is more accurate with a 1-12 twist compared to the 32 with a 1-16 which had trouble stabilizing heavier bullets. ps....The 94 is the first one I have seen with a scope mounted on the right side, your Dad must have been...

    Turkeys!!! Let’s see them!

    Dummkopf me can't post pictures! Got my Idaho cross of Merriam/Eastern this morning. I spotted five crossing our field while having coffee, so told my wife to get up and grab her call. I headed down a ditch behind a fence line and got behind a tree and some brush. She started calling and here...

    Trout recipes

    From water to tinfoil with a slice of bacon on each side, then into the hot coals of your morning campfire. Or evening campfire if it takes you longer to catch a meal. :)

    Half Ton Truck C vs E Ply Tires

    Over the years I have had many out of state hunters arrive with a new 4x4 truck and stock tires, not good. The last one had two flats in 5 miles and both were from sidewall punctures. No smooth sand here, it is all rocky and can be steep once you get off the pavement. I have run 10 ply BFG...

    First Buzztail this year

    The shed is a three point and we will get it later when we fix fence downed by elk. I don't like RUTS so it may be another week before we get up there and get the shed. The Buzzers here are Prairie rattlers and have been found over 9,000'. I have seen several between 6,500-7,000', but none over...

    First Buzztail this year

    April 14 was horn hunting on a south slope at 5300', spotted an elk antler and next to it was a 20" Buzzer. I left the antler and will get it later when the little guy has moved on. Any one else seeing Buzztails above the 45 parallel?

    Hawk Identification

    It is a Redtail, the giveaway is its yellow beak and legs.

    The Dave N bear camp had fresh tracks today......

    In the past ten years Clayton is the first HT'r that responded to my posts of a free bear hunt/adventure in Idaho. Dave N did too, but that was prior to us being on HT. I expect Clayton hunting spring bear in 2024 will be more great times in the "sticks". I won't be hunting, it is my guests...

    Moose hunting is not for me.

    Moose steaks are second to none, my favorite meat. Too bad my wife and I have already taken our once in a lifetime Idaho bulls. Plus a few others.

    Who doesn’t wear camo to hunt

    Second hand store washed to death dull multi-colored flannel shirts sized for Paul Bunyan. Big enough to fit over other clothes without restrictions. Too many trigger happy "shooters" for me to wear black (bear), or brown (deer & elk). If you have ever heard a bullet "pop" past your head you...

    Spring Bear 2023

    Last week had warm weather with bare hills, now two weeks or more of below freezing every night with more snow coming. 8" of new snow in the last 30 hours. I feel bad for those who booked backcountry outfitter bear hunts that open tomorrow. :mad:

    Judge orders new work on Bitterroot grizzly plan

    In the last twenty years grizzly bears have been spotted in the lower Bitterroots between Lost trail pass and the Leadore to Dillon road. A neighbor of mine claimed to have seen one on a ridge I hunted the next day. It had snowed two days prior and I crossed the grizzly tracks the day after his...

    You know you married up when

    Don't waste money buying more tickets when you get there. Wait until just before the drawing when they offer last chance tickets for HALF price. Twenty bucks turned into a SS Winchester .338 Classic for me. I also "married up", my wife does the animal/bird calling, skins, cuts meat, makes Euro...

    Oregon Seceding?

    I doubt the costal libs will let it happen, they always want more tax money.

    The Dave N bear camp had fresh tracks today......

    If I remember right I shattered my left shoulder blade a couple weeks prior to your first trip here and that is why you had to pack all the bait. It must have been in the spring of 2008. I won't start gathering all that good stuff behind the Scarf n' Barf Smorgie unless someone wants to have a...

    What are you currently reading?

    Death March, the survivors of Bataan by Donald Knox. Great book, but the very small print in this particular paperback is a PITA to read.
