    Diamox for altitude

    A Bolivian friend gave me Coca Leaf Mate for my altitude headache on my first night in La Paz and it didn't do anything to alleviate it.

    New Mexico Sight Seeing/Pre Scouting Trip?

    In the winter, on the road to Red River (from Taos) you will see BigHorn Sheep licking salt off the middle of the road. I have also seen cow elk crossing the road right before you start on the down hill road to Bandoleer Cliff dwellings. I would also echo Sccritterkiller: you can find the best...

    Diamox for altitude

    In 1992, I travelled to La Paz Bolivia (you land at almost 14000 ft and then the city is at 12000ft plus). I didn't take it easy the first day of arriving and hit the hotel gym and then walked around down town. That night I wanted to cut my head off because of my headache (altitude sickness)...

    New Mexico Sight Seeing/Pre Scouting Trip?

    If you're near Taos, check out the Rio Grande Gorge and glass the sides of the canyon for herds of Big Horn Sheep.

    Minnesota wolf tracking

    Interesting story: 1981 I was doing winter combat/survival training at Camp Ripley in MN. We were on cross country ski patrol pulling a loaded down Akio and it was my turn to be point man on the harness. All of a sudden, half a dozen deer came bounding out of the forrest about 20 yards ahead and...

    Jaguar re-introduction to AZ/NM

    I saw that picture of Warner Glen's Arizona Jaguar on a rock which had been chased by his hounds. That Cat had a head that looked bigger than a basket ball. Probably taken in the mid 1990s.

    PSA--Yellowstone Closed!

    All good points but as far as california is concerned, diverting water to the Central Valley benefits not only non desert cities but also agriculture beyond almond and pistachio groves. Central Valley is one of the nation's bread baskets. Diverting waters towards the Colorado river is also...

    PSA--Yellowstone Closed!

    Western states need to plan and create reservoirs to capture some of flood waters and lessen the threat to nearby communities. Here in california, the idiots in sacramento let the runoff waters just flow into the sea instead of capturing it and or diverting it to needy areas.

    Anyone been bit by a rattlesnake in back country?

    Wow, funny you mention Azusa canyon. In 1978, I went up to Pigeon Ridge to shoot and on the way down close to the highway a giant rattler was coiled up 3 ft from my legs under a bush. I put about 3 22 LR into him and took him home. I noticed a big lump halfway down his length and discovered...

    Anyone been bit by a rattlesnake in back country?

    I hunt the high desert in California and have had many close encounters with Jake the Snake but no cigar. I always worry about my bird dog getting bit and we're waiting to do snake avoidance training on him. My Vet told me that he has handled multiple rattler bites on dogs but he has never seen...

    I am a knife enthusiast/Rockhound and have made knives out of files with antler handles but your stone knives are damn impressive: blade, handle and the fit. Beautifully done SpragueJoe.

    Ideas on tiring out bird dogs when you can’t hunt them

    Im no expert but I am on my 3rd bird dog. My english pointer was high energy so I got a brittany to keep him company. Even though I exercised both dogs the EP would run away every chance he got, a real idiot. I now have a GSP and we got a female schnauzer to keep him company. This GSP is great...

    Chlorophyll for altitude?

    Nothing like slow aclimatization to the elevation. I had altitude sickness in Bolivia because I ran stupid on my first day after landing in La Paz, walking all over down town and hitting the hotel gym. That night I wanted to cut my head off, coca leaf tea didn't do anything to alleviate...

    Argentina

    I too have been looking to hunt Red Stag in Argentina for the last couple of years but also had concerns as to hunting on a high fence ranch which isn't for me. I am probably going to do a Dove hunt in the next few years with a hunting buddy who has hunted down there 3 times. The same buddy...
