sometimes when i am bored, i re-watch episodes. usually as background noise while i am cooking.
anyways. i noticed a few episodes i missed.
1. now? i REALLY ant to backpack in to hunt turkey. maybe AZ (got some intel on a unit)..on his show he goes into the Cibolo in NM. i've been there!! it isnt to far from my brothers place.
2. i already invited myself to the sept 1, dove opener in NM with my brother. he limits out days in a row on a whitewing dove shooting bonanza. i havent been in years and years. this is right there date-wise to our elk hunting..yikes!
3. May 1 next year, my wife already put me on the calendar to be in AK to shoot a grouse. every friend i tell thinks i'm insane to spend money on a simple bird hunt. needlesstosay, i will more than likely be solo. maybe i'll buy my brother an airplane tix.
4. i am gonna go to Mogollon rim for a pack in squirrel hunt.
thankfully, i cancelled a wild hog round up next week with my brother in texas. work got in the way!! they got a landowner friend to allow night hunting. a SWAT team is going there for vacation. they are also gonna set some traps. i just saw a show about that last night!! i almost regret not going now. but i was pushing it with the wife, who is a solid #5 on "that scale".
5. growing up..when i was 9 or 10..i started reading Jim Kjelgaard books. outdoor books. after that i read many outdoor books. hunting/trapping books. i have wanted to try a beaver trapping thing forever..decades! now i want someone to show me how to trap a beaver. damnit..if one of the Rinella episodes wasnt him trapping a beaver. it looks like a beotch!
on paper, ^^ that is lot of money. i think what motivates me is that all those trips are so do-able. it isnt some big-money 3 week float down the brooks range type of adventure that will cost lots and take up lots of time..and a big gear list. these are trips that show me new lands, i get to shoot things, and nothing will require a huge pack out of meat solo. do-able!
i am so glad i dropped cable TV. that dude is showing me trips i never considered. i wont do all the small game trips in a single year..spread it out some. i dont think every western adventure needs to be big game anymore. i'm gonna do this!!
