    Elk hunting partner needed

    Good luck in your search for some hunting partners. If I didn't have these bird dogs that have most of my attention and all of my travel time planned up, I might have to take you up on your offer.

    Blue/Dusky Grouse Stories and Tips Wanted!

    I'm really fascinated about the idea of hunting blue/dusky grouse with bird dogs. I have some young pups that I am excited about getting going, Brittanies. I've seen duskies while hunting big game in Colorado, and I know they are considered fools hens. But I hear they work really well for a...

    257 Roberts or 25/06

    I still deeply regret selling my 257 Roberts years ago. Though I had too many guns, what a fool I was! But the 06 is hard to beat too!

    DIY Fall Black Bear-Where to go?

    I did a DIY Colorado fall hunt last year. I put in to a unit with 58% draw odds with no points and drew. The season was concurrent with OTC archery elk and there were a lot of dudes out, but I never ran into any. I never ran into any bears either, at least that I saw. I think, emphasis on...

    Next Generation

    Yes, many times, so much so that many farm magazines have lots of articles and guidance on the subject. Sorry that's going on for you. More time for hunting and fishing sooner?! Take them with you just to prove to them they didn't get to ya! Hope all works out.

    Turkey Season 2020

    Great story, great hunt, great use of the bike! And isn't "High Life" still one of the best beer branding names ever, makes me want one, or a few right now, and its probably five o'clock somewhere, over in the middle east or somewhere!

    Need a recipe for whole deer shanks

    My little kids call Oso Bucco made with shanks "awesome busco!" They love it and I love it with the addition of the grematola recipe from Meateater cookbook. Served with Polenta, I use Jiffy cornbread mix instead of just cornmeal because it is so sweet and flavorful, and I use deer stock...

    Thank you veterans

    Vietnam vet story. Years ago I guided with a crusty old feller, he was a character, talked like Boomhauer on King of the Hill but was much harder to understand, seriously, you mostly had to guess at what he was telling you and since he was the head guide that led to lots of missed guesses and...

    GPS help

    I like the Garmin InReach, just has so many handy features. I like being able to text my young kids and family when I'm out beyond cell range. I've use it here in Texas a lot, still lots of ranches with no Verizon cell service. And I have a funny story, a friend of mine from here in Texas...

    Landowner Closes A Public Road: What Next

    These stories always remind me of back when I was a kid in the CB days listening to a conversation between a rancher and a hired hand about a lock that wasn't supposed to be on a gate. The rancher kept telling the hand the combination of the lock was "3006" and the hand just wasn't getting it...

    Let's bag up our dogs.

    I've never really been bothered by bragging of any sort, just when a holes are doing it, but most of what a holes do bothers me anyway. Of course, there is a direct correlation between bragging about my dog and his subsequent failure to obey or perform in some important way!

    Turkey scouting

    Great question! The answer is yes, but not definitely. Can't hurt, though it could, some say, if you overdo it. I've used owl hoots for the best effect, but crow calls or short, because you can't hear them gobble over long, coyote howls, more like a yelp. Truck door slamming and even gunfire...

    GSP vs English Pointer

    And Brittany guys, me, are gonna say Brittany. And so on and so forth for other breeds. Just so much depends on what you are looking for. I like Brittanies because I'm in the suburbs, have a small yard, so the dogs spend a lot of time inside. I have to admit, if I was more patient or if I...

    Hunting In National Parks.

    Thanks for posting the blog. I am all for hunters being used for population reductions in national parks. There are definitely ways to make this happen and I have never heard a roadblock that is not overcome-able or just not true. For example, many have suggested that hunters wouldn't want to...
