    Thanks. If I move, I'll be going to Clovis. Better for work, but the location is .. well... Clovis. It's still not official, but I do have an unofficial, bro-network very solid yes... Which could mean nothing. Lol. My entire life is kinda up in the air right now. Gotta love the military.

    Yesterday was one of those days you'd rather not have. The morning started out like this.... It was pretty obvious that glassing wasn't going to be effective. So I burned a bit of boot leather in hopes of sneaking up on something. Around 10am the weather turned to snow and the clouds got...

    NSTR so far. (That's, "nothing significant to report" for you non-abbreaviated folk out there.) ------------ Day 1 Pretty tough conditions yesterday morning. Rain, fog and clouds weren't helping, and no elk walked past me that I know of. I could only see a hundred yards or so for most of the...

    This was supposed to post last night, but I guess I didn't have good enough service. --------- Well.... Made it up to the mountains with enough light to see that there's no shortage of hunters in the area. I'm surprised I have cell service, but not surprised by the amount of people in here...

    It's been a crazy busy month for me. I got news that there's a really good chance I'll be moving back to New Mexico either January or February. So instead of hunting, I've been cleaning and getting all of the to-do list items done so I can get my house ready to sell. I wanted to get everything...

    I was pretty much out of commission and totally knocked off my feet last week due to an annoying sinus infection. It was not fun. I was able to get out yesterday to walk around with a buddy who has a rifle cow tag for a nearby unit. It ended up being a rifle-hike as we didn't see anything, but...

    Oh boy.... I was on the mountain in Oregon when the sickness hit me. Sure made for a fun day with liquid coming out of both ends. Nearly ran out of sleeves and socks... Might have had something to do with why I missed that bull the next morning.

    Well.... My elk season is decided. Now I just need to go find one and kill it. I'm hoping for horrible weather and lots of misery. It'll be fun.

    Just reorganized my freezers. Turns out I have way too much ice in there. ;) We still have about 50lbs of meat that's going to get turned into brats and secret family recipe hot dogs. So that'll turn into nearly 90lbs of deliciousness. I still have plenty of room in my third freezer, so we...

    Haha. Yeah, sounds like it got a little "western" out there. dirtclod.Az, I know the feeling. I missed 11 times on my javelina hunt last year before I finally connected. I thought I was ready for my first traded hunt..... I was wrong, but I just kept flinging arrows and it eventually happened...

    Yeah, I think I might be overly hard on myself sometimes. I can't let it spoil my whole season, or even the Oregon hunt. In retrospect, all things considered, it really was a good hunt. We went in there blind, got into elk every day, and I had 2 shot opportunities. Overall the hunt was a...

    It's been a few days, but I promised I'd give my final thoughts on the whole Oregon hunt. So here they are. Overall, I feel very disappointed. I'm not disappointed that I didn't kill a giant bull or even fill my tag. Yes, I'm upset that I wounded and elk, but I'm mostly disappointed in how I...

    How Do Y'all Do It!

    This year was the first time I mainly hunted with other people. I honestly didn't prefer it.... That is, until we killed elk, then it was really nice having the help. But, for the most part, I really enjoy being alone with thoughts and not having any distractions. I hunt hard, and when I'm not...

    Things did not pan out the way I'd hoped. Since it was very wet this morning there was no blood to be found on the ground. I tracked her through 400 yards of new growth by following her footprint and tiny spots of blood on an occasional branch. Most of the blood was nearly chest high on...

    Well... It's not looking great. I tracked good blood for 50 yards, then it basically stopped. I'm assuming it's a liver hit, so I'm waiting until this afternoon to go look for her. Not exactly an ideal situation.

    If nothing else, the last morning sure was beautiful.

    This looks promising... Now I just need to wait 30 minutes. It was tough getting an accurate range on her in this fog.

    Well, the weather finally turned for the worse. I was poking through the new growth and trying to stay out of the strong winds when I bumped into a bedded spike... Shoulda been quicker. Lol. Hopefully tomorrow will be awesome. The weather is really not enjoyable right now. I'm thinking...

    Well... I finally had an opportunity. Too bad I went full retard and ignored my rangefinder. Had a raghorn pop out of the new growth at first light. I snuck in to 45 yards, but he didn't give me a good shot angle until he was at 58. For whatever reason, my brain registered 68, not 58, so I was...
