Congratulations and awesome write up. My wife and I have 2 kids, 19 months apart. It goes fast and I got to watch my son drop a spike elk last year on a NR general tag, he will be 21 in a couple months.

@TOGIE - there are many on here who are more experienced at raising kids than I am, but in my opinion, you are your wife are headed in the right direction with keeping children close in age. My wife and I were blessed with three from 2013 - 2018, it's been so much fun enjoying life with them in tow.
Leaving them at home never gets easier and I've pretty much gotten completely away from it. Planning hunts becomes quite a fun family adventure. Luckily, my wife is supportive of my out-of-state hunts and we'll usually take the whole crew. Staying at hotels with a waterpark is much better than sleeping in a tent on the hard ground - even if it adds a couple extra hours of drive time each way to hunt. Speaking from experience, the best is yet to come!
Natural scent coverThe evening would bring a new spot. Further, it would bring a brand new spot. I got sidetracked on my plan to hike in about 2 miles in a completely different location to some meadows to try some sitting and calling by finding a wallow. For some reason, my gut just said, set up here and do some cow calling and see what happens.

Nothing happened. But as I joked to my wife, at least something is coming to my elk calls.
I've never been more ready to high tail it out of there like a coward if this cute little sniffin' about critter showed any indication of coming towards me.

Similar in MN. That has to be the best time to be in the woods! I always try to spend extra time in the woods the last week of October.Yes, next weekend based on the weather report should be typical hot Halloween hunting in WI! So many bucks seem to get killed on Halloween eve or Halloween for some reason around here.
Never spit in the face of tradition!i'm a sap, it's my rule to stop at either of those mcdonalds either on my way up or on my way out, every trip, no matter the purpose.
You can always "refine" traditions... to be better.
I just like pitchin' you grief.
Dad is left eye dominant and right handed. As far as shooting I’d take a guy who kills animals over dots there is a differenceHow about us right handed folks that are left eye dominant?
Based on my experiences, left handed shooters are better shots. I know a few right handed shooters who couldn't hit sand if they were shooting in a desert...
You keep doing you...

Most people in my immediate family shoot left handed (all right handed, but left eye dominant)! Good shots from everything I've seen. My cousin and uncle are right handed and both have serious accuracy problems. Both at targets, and at animals...Dad is left eye dominant and right handed.

I love everything about this thread.ugh. IPAs?
i'd rather drink unfiltered water from a wallow. IPAs are the epitome of a culture centered around only doing something to be cool.
only the finest domestic lights or mexican imports for me and that's only if there's no whiskey available. otherwise i'll forgo the alcohol options entirely - beer in general is the bottom of the barrel option.
you forget that I enjoy a 20 dollar burger as much as the next guy, but my ego ain't so fragile to admit that gawddamn i love me a tray of mcdonalds
I love everything about this thread.
