    If you end up going to the Kenai area, I can recommend a great VRBO spot we spent a month at in 2019.

    Wolves in Colorado

    I heard rumors of a new petition being started to overturn the wolf introduction a few months ago. But nothing now.

    Sandhills

    My Grandfather was born and raised in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. He told me when he was a kid they used to shoot Trumpeter Swans and eat them . He said they were better than geese.

    Sandhills

    Was out this morning with my Lab checking my pond and I heard them. Pretty hard not to recognize their call. Yep Sandhills, about 15 of them flying east. Really unusual as we don't see too many over here. I probably havn't seen fifteen in the last 20 years. I'm going to start looking now and see...

    Colorado Desert Ram Poached

    I have a theory about poaching incidents like this one. Because no attempt was make to take any part of the animal, just a lot of publicity, some one (or some group) that has antihunting feelings di it. Why, well lots of negative publicity related to hunters, guns and hunting in general. The...

    Ruts Over

    Here in SW Colorado the rut is finished. This morning I saw maybe 50 does all laying down digesting last nights feed......and not one buck around. 2 days ago there were 15 or 20 bucks chasing all the does, but today none. Looks like next years progeny has been planted.

    How did everyone's hunt go this year is it what you expected and are you going to change your plans for next year?

    Due to major back surgery in September, I didn't hunt this year. Turned in my elk tag here in Colorado and got my points back. Now I am facing a knee replacement in January, but expect to be ready for next fall. Wyoming and Colorado for elk , deer & antelope are on the agenda.

    He is a good friend and I talk to him a lot. My wife and I are planning a trip to Alaska to go fishing again with him and his wife. Probably get to Oregon in the Spring before they go back to Alaska for the summer.

    Supposedly Illinois New Bow State Record

    When I see unusually huge deer (especially Whitetails from the midwest and Texas) Think of all the high fenced deer breeders and one getting out of the enclosure or someone shooting one and submitting it for record consideration. I wasn't the OP, but that is where the idea was for me.

    What guns have you bought this year?

    Didn't buy any, but sold some. I don't shoot Cowboy Action anymore as it seems to be less popular around here. Our local club has far fewer members (down to 6 or 7 at monthly shoots from 15 to 20 in the past). The Durango club has folded and the World Headquarters moved from New Mexico to...
