I have had success with Lathrop and Son inserts in some boots for my plantar faciitis issues. However; I bought Lowa boots from Lathrop and Sons with the special insoles, spent a large sum of cash and they did not work for me. Every time I wear them I have problems. I think the issue for me is...

It was very heavy. Found it while heading cross country on a stalk. The part that was designed to be an anchor had been sharpened (I found out the hard way) to dig into the brush or the ground I think. Thought it was a cool find. Hanging on the wall near some mounts now.

At 66 years of age with a knee replacement on the horizon I decided to use my California points on a Likely Tables Antelope hunt and an X5B Deer hunt. A good friend and I drew the Antelope together, however; due to a detached retina he had to cancel at the last minute. I opted to hunt solo...

Great story and great times.

If you were going to relocate to any state of your choice. Which state or states would be at that top of your list for opportunity, draw odds and a great place to live?

Had a great hunt last week in the Rockies with my buddy Bill. Including my double bearded Merriam. Both beards measured right at 9 inches.

Had a great weekend! Saturday my 84 year old turkey hunting mentor Bob who got me hooked 30 years ago, my Grandson Cole and I took nice longbeards. Bob and Cole doubled on their birds. I killed mine about an hour later. These birds looked like they had been terrorized by a Boss Gobbler. All had...

Cleaning, chalking and running some box calls this morning. What's your favorite? I like my ET Ed Terefenko and Bruce Wurth American Friction long boxes when I need to reach out. Merriam's can't resist my Marvin Robbins Timberline and Joe Slaton Mother Lode short boxes. Can't wait to try my...

Hunted there with my Grandson in 2013. Great youth hunt. Plenty of room for the kids. Let me know and I will pass on what info I have.

Had a fun hunt for Chukar and Quail with my Grandson Cole and Willow

Taking 2 of my adult (19, 23) grandsons to Nevada next Tuesday to hunt Chukar. Neither have been on an out of state hunt. I have hunted Lava Beds before but I see the aerial survey shows it way down this year. Any suggestions? Buffalo Hills? Please comment or pm me with any help you are willing...

Hunted the Emigrant Wilderness area of D6 opening weekend. Only saw two Deer. Both were forks and my son John was able to take one. Green and lush in the high country this year. More feed, water and wildflowers than there has been in many years. There was also considerable drift smoke from a...
