    WI Whitetail ‘24

    Trip home this past fall for the WI gun deer season. Opening morning had me leaned against a tree 30 minutes before shooting light within 100 yards of private. These deer tend to hit the sanctuary of private land as soon as the first round cracks off opening day. Within 10 minutes of shooting...

    Zero Outfitter Fees??

    Saw some little clip about these guys, anyone familiar? From what I gather you pay this annual $800-$1,000 fee (2 or 5 state option) for them to put you into the draw in. Then when/if you draw, they guide you for free. Says they put you in for the random draw, but also that you'll build points...

    One more time…

    Submitted my last application as a WY resident this morning. Hell of a feeling. Came here with the military as a kid from Wisconsin who’d only chased whitetails. Sure tried to take advantage of the opportunity as best I could, though I’m sure not as good as some of you could have done. Started...

    New Muzzleloader

    Grabbed a new CVA Accura MRX the other day. Iron sights in preparation for my move back to Washington. Was originally looking at the Optima V2 next to it, but the upgrades I would have wanted already came with the Accura. Any of you guys using one?

    Christmas Wishes

    My 8 year old didn’t hesitate to hand over her list this morning for Christmas shopping for her mom and sister. Appears I’ll be focusing on gratitude this year. Not even a hug and a kiss on the list for me this year. 😆

    Mystery Ranch no more?

    https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/news/are-mystery-ranchs-days-numbered/ Well that’d be a bummer. Wouldn’t surprise me. I know there’s other brands out there but I do like the couple I’ve got. I’d consider buying a couple extra packs to make sure I was set going forward.

    ‘24 Buck

    May be the last buck I shoot for a while. Had the morning to cruise around and listen to some Jim Croce and watch for bucks. First day out I wasn’t real serious about filling my tag. When this buck came out from behind a hill at 200 yards I got pretty serious. Made the mistake of looking at...

    Magnetic Bino Harness Interference

    Alright, giving up on Vortex binocular harnesses. Pull tab glue gave way on this last weekend out, fed up with their garbage. Don't even think I'll bother writing in trying to get a new one. That being said, what is this nonsense (or not) about the magnets on binocular harnesses interfering...

    Lab Issues

    Head spinning a bit today. My 9 year old black lab female has been smashing the water lately. Laying around feeling kind of punky for the past couple weeks. We’ve been busy as a family and coupled with the heat kind of figured she was just a little bit in the “dog days” on top of being a bit...

    ‘22 Buck

    Got my funky buck from ‘22 cleaned up. Life happens and I didn’t get around to finishing it up until just now. Simmered to get horns off and plunked it into a bucket of Biz bleach. Sat there until this spring when I finally had a day to work on it. Really greasy, set it up in the sous vide...

    Euros Gone Wild

    Where to begin? Long story short: Wyoming Skullworks had my raghorn for 20 months. Said it was ready for pickup. This is what I picked up. Essentially a dirty deadhead. Antlers cracked and weathered, skull cracking and weathered, greasy, stinky, tooth loose, not whitened, flesh still on the...

    Gardiner, MT

    Up for a few days. Checking some sights out in the park. Reading about some of the drama with the late season stuff. As much as I hate getting out of the house, I do enjoy playing tourist now and then. Most importantly… smashing cans of this stuff.

    Dermestid Elk

    Could someone post some close-ups of a dermestid-cleaned skull? Thinking like the back of the skull (that nasty tendon connection point), vertebrae area, ears, etc. Got my 2022 bull back (long-story) and I’m trying to judge the quality of work. Deep down I know the answer. Just want to...

    Ruffling Feathers

    Saturday morning turkey hunt. Pretty low pressured chunk of public. Spot A, pull up, guy sitting there waiting for a friend. Figure out he’s going exactly where I wanted to go. Beat me to it fair and square. I head off to see if I can get some other birds to sound off. Walking down the...

    Public School Woes

    Gotta vent here. Boy in my daughters second grade class. Beginning of the year seemed more common, but he'd fly off the handle to the point the class gets evacuated. I have my first meeting with school admin. This carried on throughout the year, not always in the homeroom. So when the kids out...

    2023 Cow #2

    Was able to fill my second elk tag mid-December. Found a small herd real close to the boundary, as in half on public, half on private. Whipping winds made me want to get close. Hands and knees through the cactus to close the distance, ended up at about 160. Kept feeding on to public so I...

    '23 Wyoming Elk

    Anyone ready for another elk hunt story? Quit reading if you want big bulls, continue reading if you're into fart stories. Missed on any LQ tags here in Wyoming this fall, guess I was stuck hunting general units with the rest of these third class citizens. My goal living in Wyoming this...

    Just me overthinking …

    CWD came back negative on a cow I shot mid October. Thawing out for a few days in a cooler in the garage. Worked 4 bags today, still plenty to go. Anyways, couldn’t help but notice a pretty “elky” smell when I cracked the bags open. Elk was deboned and in the freezer within ~16 hours. Bags...

    Leupold Film

    Leupold uploaded a new video featuring Jason Phelps of Phelps Game Calls shooting a bull at last light 600+ yards away. No recovery, no gutting, no nothing. Headed back in “at first light” the next morning with, if I recall correctly, a 5 hour hike to the bull. Says he shot the bull at 4:30pm...
