    Anyone give up hunting other species after getting your dog?

    I did the reverse. After my dad's last dog got too old to hunt, I more or less gave up on upland bird hunting and have since gotten much more into big game hunting. She was a chocolate lab, and a pheasant's worst nightmare. I got spoiled. Now I just can't get excited about hunting most upland...

    Here are a few more photos from the trip. Bison on the range: Sizing them up: A cool photo on the wall of the Mt. Rushmore visitor's center: Saturday was a long day. I picked my meat up from the butcher and then drove home, taking a detour in Wyoming to check out a unit I've been...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    Dad and I made it out for one more quick antelope trip. Same story - a few decent bucks, one blown stalk, and another return home empty-handed. Lots of fun. By the end of that trip, I had probably set my personal record for miles traveled while hunting in one season, and it wasn't over yet! Not...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    We discussed our philosophy for the hunt that night. Our financial resources and available time were wearing thin, and it appeared likely that this would be our final trip. Do we harvest an average buck so we can fill a tag? Or do we hold out for a trophy until the bitter end, even if it means...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    Following trip #1, Dad and I both checked the zero on our guns. Both were on. There was nothing to blame last week's miss on except for us. Trip #2 began first thing in the morning after some evening travel and an attempt at a good night's sleep. The goal was to turn up the big buck from last...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    Trip #2 has come and gone. I don't have time to post a full recap now, but will try to do so in the next few days. In the meantime, I'll pose a question to you that I had to ask myself a few days ago: would you put a tag on this buck? Not very big, but super unique...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    We headed back to the truck. I checked our track and found that we had put more than 4 miles on our boots between all the cat and mouse we were playing with the herd, and the searching for blood following the shot. Dad told me it was my turn next. I decided I wanted a second look at the #2...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    With spotting scope in hand, we could tell pretty quickly that he was the same buck from yesterday. We put the scope away and commenced stalk #3 on this herd. We ended up about 250 yards away, but there was a problem. The herd was now right on top of a gentle, sloping hill, and they were...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    We drove into the hunt area at dawn and hunted on the way back to where the big buck had been the day before. We saw several antelope along the way, but nothing that made us want to stop. When we first spotted him, the buck and his herd were on a rolling hill that allowed them to drop down and...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    We continued our buck watching tour after a lunch break and a brief nap. We found plenty of good ones, but none coming close to the big one from the morning. We had probably seen a couple hundred animals by the time the day was done. It almost felt like sensory overload, but by the end...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    This hasn't been quite as "live" as I envisioned, but here's a report of my and my dad's recent pronghorn trip. This trip would consist of two full days plus some travel time on either end. I encountered this vehicle on the way out of town, hoping it was a good omen for the coming month. We...

    2024 - Season of Good Fortune and Financial Ruin

    I drew with 8 points. I'm in the thick of logistical planning as we speak. I was asked to send 3 preferred hunt dates to the manager, who then put the schedule together and sent me the date and time of my hunt (I was given my first choice). I'll meet up with a park representative and be...
