    2024 - Bryan's Season of Redemption. A Live Feed

    11/19 Modern deer season has came and went here in WA. I wish I could have said it went better but I didn't even see a legal buck over 4 full days of hunting. The areas in question were 2-5 year old burns or recent timber cuts. The sign seemed fresh and the deer tracks were fresh but I only...

    School me on OR blacktail

    Howdy! As the title suggests I need to get up to speed on Columbia blacktail in Oregon. I'm a transplant by way of the military to Washington and want to head down that way next fall during the rifle season. I'd prefer to stay out of the coastal rainforest and lean more toward the west slope of...

    Late November mule deer. SD

    Hunted SD for a decade while I was stationed there. Mule deer are more prevalent the farther west you go in the state. I'm not saying you won't see any, but the chases are low in that part of the state. Mule deer bucks post rut are pretty easy to pattern, but will have broke from the doe...

    10/23 We both arrived on Wyoming on Sunday and had 2 hours for a quick scout-hunt. Our 2 mile trek in yeilded no pronghorn, and I knew we'd have to push deeper to hopefully find anything. The next day, we woke up 3 hours prior to sunrise hiking into a large glassing point over water. Still...

    6/29 - Making memories with the kiddo. We hit the road early to beat the heat and pick strawberries at a u-pick farm up the road. For not even being 2 I was really surprised she picked up on what we were doing really fast. We all had fun picking and she didn't want to leave. They'll be lots of...

    6/21 - we took a break from focusing on hunting to have a fishing adventure. I drove 6 hours to pick Sam up from the Portland airport, another 2 hours to the Washington coast. This gave a time for a 4 hour nap and we were off fishing the next morning at 6am. The weather was rough, 6-10ft surf...

    Finally! Some success in a draw after busting in Montana/Colorado. Looks like Sam and I are Wyoming bound in Oct! I love a rifle pronghorn hunt, it's always a blast.

    6/18 - Sorry for the late update. Turkey season didn't pan out the way I hoped. I had to work two of the 6 weekends during the season and I got a nasty cold that had me laid up for 2 weeks in May. All in all, I was able to hunt 2 days and didn't put eyes on a public land bird. I put 15 miles on...

    4/18 Well the Montana combo draw was a bust. I've been looking into other possible hunts around the west. I've somewhat come to the conclusion that a post rut or late season elk hunt might not be the best idea for introducing Sam to western hunting. He's starting from square one with gear. Our...

    3/30 - The Build I've primarily been a deer and pronghorn hunter since moving out west in 2011 at the young age of 19. I always wanted to get into elk hunting but didn't know how. I've had a few resident muzzleloader tags in Washington but almost never see elk during the season. I somehow seem...

    I think it took some talking it out to make her see that hunting is what I live for after her and my daughter, but she gets it now. Thanks dude! Good luck to you too

    HT! Its been awhile... and by that I mean I haven't been active on here for awhile. My life has had some serious ups and downs over the past two years. My daughter was born in Sept of 2022 and with the ridiculous cost of child care my wife and I elected for her to stay home. This means that I...

    Does Camouflage Really Work

    Depends on the context. Stop and stalk archery pronghorn I'd say it's very necessary. Rifle hunting black bear on the other hand, I role with alot of earth tone solids.

    Kings Camo XKG Down Transition Jacket

    I went for the full set of Kings 5 years ago and I was not a fan. Ended up junking it and piecing together a sitka setup through camo fire sales. Maybe there clothing has changed since then 🤷‍♂️ I've heard good things about black ovis if you don't want play the sales games.

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    Finally, last week the wife and I went on a float trip for chinook salmon with Sage Waters Outfitters on the coast. It was our first time salmon fishing... both of us being from the midwest. It was awesome! Went home with a limit of 4 in the cooler. I'm definitely hooked. Her words on the way...

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    This Aug 1 bear opener was a blessing and a curse. We hiked in a day early and we were on bears the whole time but got chased out by the biting flies and thick smoke. I'm still in search of my first bear. Hopefully tomorrow's day hunt goes well

    Adventures of a flatlander in a strange place - 2021

    I've really fallen behind in this with summer chores. I've been hitting a local lake once our twice a month. Normally I won't keep trout in the summer but it's deep, cold, and the tiger trout in this lake cut amazingly. Last time we were there we saw a cow and calf moose
