    Yeah, when I saw that it just upped the character. I am trying to make sure it sticks around.

    WA general deer hunt summary

    Fantastic write up. Sucks you had to compete so much for your deer, but sounds like you did it right!

    Idaho 2020 Recap and Photos

    Oct 13- rest day. I stay in camp all day and clean up the skull to do a euro. Not the best job, but I am excited to do it myself. Gotta get all the brain out before I go back into CA, so I'm going to hit up Walmart for supplies on the way out and boil it up. Moving was difficult today, because...

    Idaho 2020 Recap and Photos

    Oct 11- the rain turned to snow after we tucked in and snowed all night, including some toppling trees!. We woke up to 3-5 inches of fresh accumulation. Perfect conditions. My buddies agree to slowly hunt around towards my deer so we can pack it out. We see tons of does and a few bucks, but none...

    Idaho 2020 Recap and Photos

    Oct 10, opening day- The day dawned lovely and a little warmer than the night before, probably around 45 degrees. We decided to scout-hunt up to the lakes and the pass above them, to get the lay of the land and plan for the next day when weather was supposed to move in and temps drop to below...

    Idaho 2020 Recap and Photos

    One of the most exhausting days of my life. That is the only way to reflect on it as I am waiting for my chili mac to heat. Key takeaways: I am no longer in high school shape, even with a summer of training, and my desire to get to the top might do me more harm than good at times! Below follows...

    Underwater Hunting

    Oh, we get pea soup plenty around here. Just got lucky in September with really nice conditions. I am actually looking forward to late October and November. If we can get some good weather, the big lings move in and it can be really great diving. Exactly!

    LASIK - Do It

    Another vote for 100% do it. I wore glasses since first grade, with pretty terrible vision (-8 range). Was 20/20 two days later and dont even think about it 4 years later. I went a week long scuba trip about a month later and the difference from when I had to wear contacts was striking. No...

    Underwater Hunting

    Yes, mostly shore diving up here on the north coast, unless you know someone with a boat. We are hoping to go to Cayman Brac soon...

    Underwater Hunting

    Agreed, the blues are better! I have been enjoying it, but it is no substitution for the mountains. Luckily I am headed that way in two weeks for some mulie hunting. Might be able to squeeze in one more day of diving before then though.

    Underwater Hunting

    Just for fun, went out for a third weekend in a row. Ended up with a limit of lingcod, including this lovely blue.

    Thanks. It has been really fun figuring out combining all three!

    Underwater Hunting

    Another great day of diving on the coast this past Sunday. Vis wasnt quite as good as the previous weekend, but still better than normal. Really fishy again. Got a nice lingcod. My buddy got this nice vermilion rockfish that really didnt like my beer...

    Underwater Hunting

    Since it seems like the entire state of California is burning right now (in addition to a horrible heat wave), my wife, some friends, and I decided to escape to the coast on Sunday to do a little diving (SCUBA for most of us, freediving for some others) at Fort Ross. Given that it is hunting...

    That is a big ole greenling in the last photo. Looks like a great trip. I am truly jealous!

    Bear rug is in!

    I look forward to getting a bear one day, so I can get a rug, so my own corgi can do this!

    Post your Hobbys (other then hunting) just for fun

    It is a pretty nice hobby and a good one to take you all over the world! Sharks are one of my favorite parts about diving, and I am usually more worried on the surface swim than when I am underwater. When we were in Fiji we swam with a big tiger shark and it is still one of my favorite...

    Post your Hobbys (other then hunting) just for fun

    In addition to my previous SCUBA post, I also bowl a good amount (though not recently with COVID shutting everything down). We won our last league a year ago. League bowling is also a great excuse to partake in my other hobby of imbibing fermented malt beverages.
