    A reminder about bees in trees

    Last year was fun, except for one incident. Imagine you are at the end of the day, hoping to rake an elk in. There’s a tree and you have a stick. Check the tree before you rake. The one I chose to rake seemed innocent enough. The bees had gone inside a small crack for the night. Probably a...

    Do I need more clothing items? Sept CO Elk hunt

    Learned that one the hard way. Turns out walking thru wet grass even with good boots, the water will go through water repellent pants and wick down your socks enough you can wring water out of the socks.

    Holy cow bow season is close.

    We are going to have a great season guys. Even a few nights camping in the best part of the year is a win. Anything else is gravy. I went and wrapped a little tape around the twangy plastic and it’ll do till October. It’s split right under there.

    Holy cow bow season is close.

    Cripe I hope it works out. I sometimes wonder if I should have kept my old bow, but I knew a young hunter who was in a similar jam, week before season. I let him borrow it, he stuck a nice mulie, his first, and wanted to buy the bow. 12 year old bow….i said keep it .
