    How often do you find unrecovered animals?

    Through the decades I have found a pile of them. Things happen at shot time, some could be prevented, others not. I have the opportunity to talk to a good number of archery hunters chasing elk, because that is the ultimate for so many. I heard stories of 8 lost bulls this year, most were...

    Pick apart my retirement plan

    A couple of things we did, prior to my retirement. 1. We are staying in this home we built 29 years ago till dead. It was paid off, but as we know things wear out. We replaced the roof, siding, ac, furnace and water heater, along with all appliances. Then created a fund for anything that could...

    Neck shot ethics

    Frontal with my magnum is my bread and butter on bull elk. This yr 12 yds closest 5 yds. Nothing like bugling elk, magnum in hand and spitting distances.

    SoCal folks; Don't worry about bears

    Just watched a news report on this, how stupid do people think SIU teams with insurance carriers are🤣 Having worked for a large carrier for 3 decades it was always fun to catch someone committing insurance fraud. If your going to pretend to be a bear, you better know how they move and act boo...

    Drying Gear in Hot Tent (SO Cimarron, others)

    You can find something like these guys then run the line around the pole at the same time for added support. Don’t recall where I bought online but a google search should find something similar

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    Toooo many using handrails on the stair master and bad form lifting, ie all momentum and no mind muscle connection to the actual muscle for that movement. Better than nothing, but so many could achieve better results dropping the speed of the machine, dropping the chosen weight and getting off...

    How big, how old?

    A couple of examples of what I would call “Hoss” bulls. You can see the square Block body and Block looking faces on these two old timers. Pic 2 is not mine but I watched this bull in the spring and have his sheds on 2 yrs. The way he sauntered around the mountain was a sight🤙 both were otc...

    Decent length all the way around in the 320-330 range. No blocky body and face looks on the younger side 6-7 yrs old.

    Mule Deer over Money

    My experience is some individuals simply want the bigger challenge and after you kill a few critters, you want to expand the challenge. Some don’t, which is fine. Case in point. I took hunters safety in the 70s and started hunting elk in 1980. My father’s camp was all about first legal elk it...

    Rant - What happened to respect for other hunters???

    In the early 90s my buddy and I caught up to several elk hunters on a forest service trail two hours prior to daylight. As I recall there was five of them. They would not let us by on the trail, they were walking superrrr slow and we had to follow them for a long distance as they dropped off at...

You have walked uphill 15k for the season, you are old and had tkr 6 months prior and multiple 3 and 4 pts come by all rutted and dazed and confused, you smile in the wind and blowing snow saying that was worth...

    In What Order Should I Buy Gear?

    A lot of critters are killed with average gear. Quality gear lets you stay comfortable longer in bad conditions. If your feet don’t go you don’t go. Assuming your scope is solid, 1st I would find a quality boot for your feet. 2nd quality binos, Buy once cry once they will last decades or a...

    Elk Don't Exist

    Year 45 in Idaho. I will say I am one of the few who uses a bugle early in October for my success. No cow calls bugle only. I will use the last 3 years on how I hunted. 2022 I was out 5 days prior to season found two bulls bugling. Had done some calling in September for friends as well. Day 1...
