Another Idaho elk hunt in the books
My buddy is from Idaho. I flew out from MD. Managed to somehow get most of the meat back to MD yesterday (I did donate the front shoulder to a shelter). -

Another Idaho elk hunt in the books
Just getting things unpacked from my elk hunt. The hunt was quite difficult, but somehow I managed to arrow another bull. Even better two days before I was able to help my buddy get his first archery bull in 7 years of chasing them. I've learned a lot about elk hunting from this guy, so it was... -

What pistol do you carry on hunts
Last couple of years I've carried my Steyr M1 in 40 cal. This year I'm going with my M&P shield in 9mm. There are no grizzlies in my unit, but wolves, black bears, and lions.- 7Bartman

F.E. Warren AFB Antelope Hunt
My BIL house used to back right up to base and I'd watch the pronghorn right from his backyard. Can any active duty members get a tag there? -

Sooke, BC salmon and halibut
Escaped the heat and humidity of a MD summer and headed up to BC a few weeks back. Managed to catch a few salmon and dungeness crab while we we're up there.- 7Bartman

My 2018 elk is on the wall!
We call those Idaho thirds. For some reason bulls in this area are lacking in the third department. -

My 2018 elk is on the wall!
My wife did the painting. She's cool with the mounts, however she's a little pissed with all the holes I put in the wall searching for the stud with a finishing nail. Yes, I have a stud finder. Yes, I also can knock and listen. No, apparently my studs aren't on 16" centers :). -

Archery elk gear budget allocation
Plenty of options to save money here. IF you are hunting in an area that is mostly public land get an ~$150 smart phone (used or motorola) don't even activate it, but get on wifi and download the google maps for your hunt area. The GPS will work without cell-phone signal. In addition, you can...- 7Bartman

Altitude rx
Don't waste your money on this junk, there is no scientific evidence that it works. Take the advice others have said, plenty of water, no alcohol, and maybe get a prescription for Diamox. I come from basically below sea level to 9-11k feet every year. I'm in good shape, but that altitude is a... -

Review of the Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80
I put together a quick review of the MR Beartooth 80 after giving it a trial run on a couple of hikes and a hunt. I can't wait to see how it performs in the mountains in the fall.- 7Bartman

Eye Contact with Animals
I'm about as evidence-based person as you'll come across and I can't agree more with this statement. I don't believe in any "sixth-sense" per se, but perhaps the animals can pick up on the focused gaze of a predator. I almost always wear a face mask while treestand hunting and I've found if I... -

Rattlesnakes
Was hunting mulies in the desert a few years back with a buddy. He went to relief himself near this rockwall and took a hit right in the groin from a large rattler. I told him to stay calm while I hoofed it 2 miles back to our truck. I rode 25 mins to the nearest doctor's office. Doctor told me...- 7Bartman

$496.75
Way less than people think. Each new card opened is an initial hit of about 3 pts on your FICO score, but credit amount and history will get the score right back up there. I have over 20 cards open and my score is right at 800. I've never carried a balance on any of them. I also haven't paid for... -

Booking a flight
You should look into getting the Southwest companion pass. They're offering it for the rest of the year after $3k spend on their credit card. This is the easiest way to earn the companion pass. With the companion pass you're wife can fly with you for free. I haven't paid for a flight in the last...- 7Bartman

A little hunting compilation
Got a little bored sitting around the house today and put this together. Just some highlights from the last couple of years. Would've been nice to be able to hunt on a Sunday. https://youtu.be/91i3PqsDQjA- 7Bartman
