    Photography- one photo a day

    Ran into this fellow someplace in Washington during the muzzleloader deer season. This was an open moose unit and we saw no other hunters for the 5 days we were there. We were in moose every day:)

    TTH Workout "Drop Tine"

    I'm not on the road as much as Shaun, but when I started traveling a lot about 4 years ago I picked up the TacFit Commando series (at a greatly reduced promo price). If you work through the entire series it's about 9 months worth of progressively harder workouts. Great body weight and cardio...

    la sportiva pamir

    After trying out 'hunting' boots for the last 4 years, this year I went back to the tried and true LaSportiva Makalu. I have a narrow foot and the Makalu is built on a narrow last and fits well. I like a stiff boot and the Makalu is stiff. The adjustable tongue helps to fine-tune the volume...

    How do you cut firewood?

    We have used stoves from the Kifaru Para stove to Kifaru Large box stoves to a variety of home-made designs. They all work best with dry wood, obviously. The guys I hunt with nearly always carry a saw like the Gerber folding saws or a Wyoming Saw and a small hatchet like the Gerber. A note on...

    Seattle Commute?

    I live in Yakima and have made the trip over the hills at least weekly for the past 6 years for work. I've had to wait for weather closures twice. Some days it is slow due to heavy snowfall, but never so bad I have opted not to go. The rock blasting is Mon-Thurs around 7 pm. Usual closure is...

    Washington Antelope Poached

    Olydog, The first transplant was 100 animals. Nevada has 100 more for WA, but between light winters and the antelope not gathering up on winter range and conflicts with the helicopter contractor we have not had a chance to move the second bunch. So far, landowner support has been positive and...

    Washington Antelope Poached

    As stated, the pronghorn were re-introduced to WA. They are not an invasive species. The long-term goal is to rebuild the population to a point that there is sustainable and huntable population in WA again. As for the land owners; there are a bunch of folks working in concert with the local...

    Backcountry Biscuits

    We take a couple light weight pie pans and biscuits in a can. Place the bisquits in the bottom pan, turn the other pan upside down on top to make an oven. Place the pans underneath the stove. Usually need to turn them once. If you opt to put the "oven" on top of the stove, use 3-4 small rocks...

    Need Mtn. Boots With a Narrow Heel

    I just moved back to La Sportiva's for the same reason. I went with the classic Makalu. Picked them up from MooseJaw for about $300. Have about 50 miles on them so far...they take some wearing because they are stiff, but they are super durable and will last for years.

    Low volume\ narrow foot?

    HellsCanyon, I get out for High Buck in WA, a couple 3-day backpack trips in the summer and usually a 3-5 day trip for elk that is steep, but mileage is not great. I hike with my dogs every weekend I am home, usually 4-7 miles total. I don't consider my schedule overly taxing for good boots.

    Low volume\ narrow foot?

    Pete at Schnee's is great! He spent a lot of time with me and my hunting partner at the SCI show in Vegas. No issue with the quality and stiffness of the Granite, just too wide for my feet. And I was using my socks and insoles in the trial process. Thanks to Pete and Bart for putting up with...

    Low volume\ narrow foot?

    After destroying my Kenetrek's last year I have been on quest for new boots. I, too, have a narrow foot. I tried on a buch of boots at SCI in Vegas and ended up ordering Schnee's Granite boot to try. When it arrived it felt good initially, but after 2 days of indoor wear, no go. The went...
