Yeah... I mean my Dad's a software engineer, my brothers are both computer engineers, my sister has a degree in psychology.
I said, "Dad I wanna work in civil service!" I was taught pretty early on terrible life choices are gold to hold over your kids at Thanksgiving. And I'm reminded every...
If you wouldn't mind sharing a little information I've had an opportunity come up. I am holding and antelope Tag for South Central wyoming. Carbon county. I HAD vacation time picked out for the first week and a half of October. It was all that was available.
Long story short Vacation opened for...
Some people do that to drill out the marrow. I did it with my last one. I drilled it and got it really clean on the inside, allowed it to dry completely, then filled the hole with bondo. It works pretty good and if you're gluing the horns on why not?
I cooked a pan full of heart at work for dinner one night. I didn't tell anybody what it was. Everybody loved it! They kept asking what cut it was. When I said heart everybody was shocked. My moose heart was eaten by my family like it was their last meal. They loved it!
My wife asked me the question the year I drew my moose tag, "How much money does hunting cost vs. What you get." That year I shot a small bull elk, bull moose, and a deer. After EVERYTHING was said and done.... 78 cents per pound. Yes, i accounted for tags, gas, gear, etc. I've spent years...
Don't let them make fun of you. Most of them would be more overly excited than they want to admit if they got surprise sausage in the male box, or mail box. I ain't judging either way.
I remember seeing the same thing when we went through California. Somewhere I have a pic of a trophy bull laying on a beach with waves in the background.
We're watching it pretty close. Hard part about being a fireman is we both know the guy that back lit a large portion of that. We've heard the long term management plan and it doesn't sound good for him. It's weather dependant now.
Those guys are doing everything they can. No blame on a single...
I forgot to mention if you bought a Salmon B tag you may want to watch this one as well. There's not a whole lot of stopping a fire this big in that country.
Alright... So I know a guy who's drawn that tag. He's excited except that unit is now burning with no end in sight. I know his pain. I drew 27-2 when it burned and watched as my dream hunt dwindled away to black and ash. And the rams left before opening. Holding that kind of tag with rams bedded...
Most ranchers I know would rather you figured out a way to get that thing closed than just leave it. All of our gates that we've found rebuilt or fastened diffently we just assumed something went wrong and fixed it as best they could. If you've never shut a tight wire gate you probably don't...
I'm kind of hoping you're scouting my area I drew in Wyoming for me! 😁. Honestly I think most of those bucks are around that 70s mark. Pick the one you like and take it. 1st day for me I'm not shooting under 90. 2nd day 67 5/8 or better... cause my wife shot one that big and we're mildly...
All that being said, you don't have to get it olympic qualifying perfect to go have fun. Read about Ishi. Terrible form by traditional standards. Arrow on the wrong side, bow canted over, weird grips on bow and string, and where is he anchoring? But he was consistant every shot and killed A LOT...
The best archery shooter I've ever seen shot a recurve her husband built in the 60s. It was a maple riser and limb with red glass. She used a kisser button, peep, and pin sight WOOD SCREWED into the riser.
We were shooting compounds and she was yelling coaching from the front porch. We were...
I put a perfect shot into the ground where a buck WAS standing when I shot.... He dropped underneath and I missed by less than an inch. Hoping to make it happen next year when i can draw again.
Got pics of him scouting a few days before.
