I have spent every day in September in north Idaho's mountains for the last several years.....but this year my 14 yo son drew a rifle elk tag near Hanford.....so I think I may be the second fiddle this time
When your kids are hunting second fiddle is the best place to be.

I was in a stand 70 yards from my daughter's stand watching a buck feed towards her.
I can't see her but I'm wondering if she sees the buck, if she's even awake or messing with her phone. I'm getting some buck fever watching through binoculars when I see a lighted nock fly. The buck did a spinning bronco kick and bolts. I'm pretty sure I hear a crash.
I text her not to get down but use binos to look for the arrow.
She replies "I can't get down. I'm shaking all over" Haha!
She finds the arrow and we find her buck within 50 yards. It was her first archery deer.
It's my most memorable deer hunt.

No western hunt this year unfortunately. And I missed last season working overseas. So number one goal this year is just to get a deer. Ultimately, killing one with my recurve for the first time would be my ideal goal. But if I haven’t got one by late November, I may have to rifle hunt just a bit to actually fill the freezer.

Going to try and end the season without a divorce, wish me luck. 🤞

Recovering from a torn rotator cuff and getting enough arrow-launching time to go after fall turkey.

Deer in Utah in August, September elk OTC in Utah along with a week of guiding elk. Then helping a buddy fill his antelope tag Idaho at the end of the month. Idaho deer and elk at the end of October, and then Colorado third season to help my sister fill a deer tag. The rest of November will be filled chasing deer and elk OTC here in Utah. Then hopefully depredation cow tags in January.

May hunt bear/elk OTC in CO in September...my main focus will be CO/KS deer and I also have MI deer tags but nothing really getting me excited on camera in Michigan...
Should get my new bow in july/August...sooner the better. I ordered in January but it is custom so definitely not trying to rush it! Just can't wait to start shooting it! 55# Black/white ebony (dark) widow
