Muzzy. Scouted and hunted 1st rifle in '19. Watched a lot of elk from Aug going forward, many bulls were busted up by 1st rifle. I killed mine at bedded 60 yds, his bugles got him killed. Hindsight, I wish I'd have had a tag that was live a few weeks earlier. I'd say it's more of an opportunity...
Local pharmacies around me are offering covid antibody blood tests on a walk-in basis. It costs a finger prick and 25 bucks. My wife and I still test positive for antibodies. We had covid in Nov-Dec.
Keep leaves in mind. What you can glass later on, you might not be able to glass in 1st season because the leaves are still on the trees, brush, etc. It can be surprising to go earlier into an area that you usually hunt later in the season.
Not to keep whacking at our dead horse, but I don't think the travel time to/from is as much a negative as the lack of ability to conduct other business in DC. GJT goes direct to/from SLC, DEN, DFW, PHX and most of those airports you list are also a two-leg trip. It's exactly 963 yards (I just...
The regional office that's been here forever is all but 300 yards from the building where the HQ leases now. I don't know for certain, but I get the distinct feeling that the rank-and-file regional folks who get muddy boots as often as not were less than pleased to have the "echelons above...
French presser here too. I grind my own, add salt, cinnamon, ginger to the grounds and butter into the coffee cup. Nothing I can buy out in foo-foo coffee land tastes any better. A local shop air-roasts their coffee beans in this big copper-plated rube goldberg air roaster thing that spits...
I saw this news article in the same screen that I saw the GJ Sentinel article about that HL appeal above.

Montezuma County is trying to leverage RS 2477 to establish ROW in BLM and USFS land. I don't know...
After running a 1-10 LPVO I may never go back to anything else. 1x, illuminated, it's everything a basic red dot will get you. Crank it up to 6, 8, or 10x, no illum, it's as good as any longer range optic for lazy zeroing, yotes, plinking, whatever. I picked up a Sightmark because it was...
Mistook a dead bull elk for a live one.
I was spotting for my buddy, he knocked a bull down in the oak brush. I swore it was still wriggling around but turns out it was just the branches moving a bit in the breeze. May or may not have coached him into pumping an extra one or two into the...
Whatever you do, absolutely get one when the kids are little. Before you know it, the weekends are co-opted by sports and other activities. We saw it play out in our home and friends, it's just harder to go family camping when they're in middle and high school. One happy side effect though...
Point of order...the rule of thumb pertains to the country of origin. Scotland...no "e" Ireland..."e"

I'm kind of an equal opportunity bourbon drinker, myself.
War Lord, by Bernard Cornwell. It's the 13th and last book in Cornwell's Saxon series. I'm a huge Cornwell fan. This series is pretty awesome if you're interested in the Norman conquest of England, or vikings, or shield walls, or treachery, or how the pagans and Christians didn't really...
Yeah, we cover some of the same country. Years ago, it was just divide rd that would shake out your teeth. Now, it's pretty much every gravel road around here. More traffic, more lifted rigs, more speed, more me getting older and grumpier are all factors I think. Job security for both front...
I like my 2015 Ram 3/4 ton with the 6.4 hemi. But the washboard gravel roads around here that I'm on for hunting, camping, and scouting are absolutely killing me. Airing down the tires and 4wdHi helps a bit, but not much. I was thinking about putting money into new tuned shocks, maybe some...
I second that and all of the above. I had mine done at 31 (18 yrs ago) and I understand the procedure has only gotten more precise with fewer complications since then. Apparently the modeling of the cornea surface, and subsequent lasing down, is exponentially better today. Even with some...
