You don't know the rest of the story though. Told the youngest we need to go back and throw him in the river to see if it would give me my sunglasses back. He didn't think it was funny, but he did tell me that he could probably swim back to the bridge if I wanted to try it. 😬
About 10 years ago I took a shot that I shouldn't have just before legal shooting light lapsed. I couldn't see a few branches between me and the elk, and my arrow must have it every one of them on the way to the bull. Spent hours looking for both my arrow and any sign of blood and couldn't...
Floated a local stretch of river with my oldest and youngest on Saturday morning (the middle decided he'd rather sleep), and lost my sunglasses in the river shortly after we put in. Turns out the sacrifice was worth while; we caught a couple of 20 inchers. I released the first one and was...
The kids are all in school (for now), and my office is closed on Fridays through the end of September, so I decided to take a little fishing trip that I knew my boys wouldn't regret missing out on. There's a small creek spotted with beaver ponds I've always wanted to fish near where my family...
Don't overthink it. On my moose hunt I spotted a bull early in the morning, put on a stalk, blew it, and was able to call him back with the pinched-nose-moan that you see on YouTube videos. Granted he's no where near a boone and crockett bull, but I did call him back.
When I started I know someone's signature said something to the effect that "soandso and @JoseCuervo are the same guy." For the life of me I can't remember whose signature that was and who Jose's alter ego were though.
I forgot to mention that I'm keeping the suspenders that come with the Obsidian pants, so if that's important to you you'll have to buy another set from First Lite.
My weight loss sale continues; I've got three tops and a pant that no longer fit:

I'm a First Lite guy and have a pretty good kit put together after a few years of buying a piece or two per year. In the conditions you describe I'd probably wear my midweight merino base layer and have the tech fleece and catalyst soft shell in my pack. Last fall my deer hunt was in the teens...
Took two of my boys (the third didn't want to wake up) and my dad to the bluegill pond for some action on Friday morning. We spent a few hours and caught enough that the fun was starting to wear off, but before we left I wanted to give a cast or two to the creek behind the pond. The creek...
