    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    Couple of notes here. You can’t train drive but you can zap/correct it out of a dog. I’m a big fan of let a pup be a pup. Teach them good recall as soon as you can but don’t be too harsh to punish for running bigger than you’d like or chasing squirrels, butterflies etc. Its much easier to real a...

    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    Bird exposure is key, but I would emphasize if you want your dog to have manners around wild birds they need exposure to wild birds. Playing pigeon games is great initial training and great fine tuning but I've seen a number of dogs do all the right things around pigeons and not have a clue when...

    Law enforcement in Colorado

    Pretty much every metro and rural career fire department out West is hiring and people don't hate firefighters! Find a place that has seperate EMS and be a non transport medic and live that dream! Housing will remain impossible regardless of the profession though.

    ‘Nightmare’ elk hunt turns heads on the levee

    For some context: It’s a popular dog walk and xc ski spot once it snows. It’s not uncommon for folks to jump shoot ducks here so hunting is fine. The major issue is shooting across the river, depending on where you are, puts people, homes, and livestock in backdrop. And the snake is running...

    ‘Nightmare’ elk hunt turns heads on the levee

    ‘Nightmare’ elk hunt turns heads on the levee File this under just because you can doesn't mean you should. Flock shooting Elk on an island, then wondering how the heck to get to them, on the most popular dog walking spot in town. My new goal when traveling to hunt is not to make the front page...

    High Rental Market and what to do about it.

    I work (unpaid) for the local housing authority. We're a resort town in a (the?) state that has banned regulations on short term rentals. 1/3 of Aspen's inventory for rent or sale is 'Afforedeable' sustaining businesses large and small with employees. It's made possible by a real estate transfer...

    Grizzly charge in Idaho

    No, but I seldom believe in coincidences. Would be surprised if it wasn't, but you're correct, there are plenty and it could be a different bear.

    Grizzly charge in Idaho

    3rd instance of this particular bear interacting with folks. Tipped a jogger over and made a mountain biker peddal real fast earlier this summer.

    First Aid Supply procurment

    This is incorrect. Placement 2-3” above the wound has been proven adequate. 1 TQ will do the trick. ‘High and Tight’ is still taught if unknown where the wound is. Evidence based medicine is great. WFR is much more applicable than a ‘Tacmed’ course, unless the bears in your neck of the woods...

    Land Swap

    But the Trident guy is a Navy Seal! Perhaps he'll host archery challenges and sell lots of home to the Jocko crowd. Bad deal for Idaho.

    Bugle Report

    Mostly lazy bugles, had a herd bull charge in to 10 yards after a good shouting match, no clean shot. Was downwind and could smell his breath. My partner killed a spike I passed on who scorched some earth coming into my cow call. We got caught in the gnarliest electrical storm I've experienced...

    Might check with Scott @ http://www.savagegunsmithing.com/ in Driggs. He does good work but could be backed up.

    Plans with your dog this year

    Once archery elk is done we'll do the normal early season mountain grouse things. Planning on a fair few trips to better hun country once it snows. For now he's pretty content chasing huckleberries.
