Just got back from a little vacation up in the Pacific Northwest. Took a half day to try my hand at some offshore fishing. 29' boats and huge waves made for an interesting day... And an empty stomach. But, I had a blast. Those Kings and Coho's look pretty neat slicing through the water.

Looking again at unit 184, the 'odds' show to be 113/1, but, when you square out all the points, you come up with 4,699 chances. If you had 10 points in this draw, your odds would have improved from a paltry .008, at 113-1, all the way up to .021, with 101 chances. Alas, had you just 1 point...

Our season started off a little slow, but as of last Friday, we started getting into the swing things. Friday morning we got set up in between the hens and 2 toms. Some aggressive cackling had the toms fly down pretty much right in our face. The two toms came in hard, and my buddy killed both...

The wife and I are going to take a week, and explore the Pacific NW.. We will most likely fly into Vancouver or Seattle, and then make our way down to Portland before flying home from there. I would like to spend a half day, and catch some fish. We will be there June 28th-July 3rd, so it...

Just found out work wants me to go down to AZ for a week.. I thought while I was down there, if it worked out, I might take the hunters education class, and get the permanent point.. Anyone know anything about the course, or has anyone taken the course? Length of time, where to find the...

Anyone know the dimensions of an average bull elk rear quarter, or have experience with Caribou game bags? I used the stretchy Alaskan game bags last time, and wasn't all that impressed.. Was considering either the Carnivore II, or the High Country sets of game bags from Caribou gear. The...

I just weighed my entire cook set. 1 pound with the stove, spoon, lighter, pot and enough fuel to feed me for a week. 1.5 pounds, if I take the optional coffee mug. Sometimes, I like to take the mug, drinking coffee out of a titanium pot sucks, first drink burns your face off, subsequent...

Kabob, is that a Beavertail? If so, how do you like it? I've got a Scavenger, that I think I'll get rid of this summer. It's a little heavy for a 7 horse, and doesn't really push me through skinny water like I hoped it would. It would probably do better on a small jon boat, instead of my 4...

Only one sideways photo.. Not bad for me. A couple more pics from a day in the timber. I usually don't even have to watch the skies, as the dog does it for me!

We finally closed up on the geese last weekend, thus ending our 2014 waterfowl season. It was an interesting year, like everywhere else, we picked up a ton of birds on Veterans Day, and then proceeded to hunt stale birds for the rest of the year, never really picking up any new birds. As...

Results of goose prosciutto are in..... It's pretty terrible. The texture is mostly similar to regular prosciutto, and the exterior has a nice salty flavor to it, but the rest pretty much tastes like... A goose. The dog seemed to like it.

Got the email from NMGF last night, with the new regs. Interesting to see the archery elk units all go from 3 seasons to 2 seasons. It'll be interesting to see what this does to the odds. I was really liking the way the second season dates were going to line up this year (not that I was gonna...

If these suckers are gonna start hunting people, from the trailhead.... I think it's time to issue a few grizzly tags in the lower 48. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2014/11/24/gps-study-tracks-grizzlies-as-follow-hunters/

Last weekend, my dad dropped his old Browning BBR while lowering it down out of a treestand. The stock shattered right in between the grip and the trigger guard. I've searched around, and have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement stock for it. I've found a few in short action, but his...

Anybody watching playoff baseball? Last time the royals were in the playoffs, I was 2. This has been a great team to watch all season, and I can't wait for the ALCS!

All white fletchings, with some more white thrown in for good measure. I can see them pretty good flying through the air, and real good as they go through an animal.

Just got back from Idaho, after starting my hunt last Sunday. The hunt got off to a pretty auspicious start, with us seeing 11 total people in the one canyon I was hunting. After a run in with a group of four, and an outfitter that were all going to be hunting the same exact area as me, I...

Getting ready to roll out at the end of next week, for 2 weeks in the Idaho backcountry. I've never taken a book before, as I didn't want to deal with the little bit of added extra weight, but after a few years of dialing in the pack, and more than a few mid afternoons spent just staring off...

That this just isn't gonna be funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGXHVlEklgQ I still remember going to see the first movie in the theater with my little brother. I was 11, he was 9. He started laughing during the toilet scene, and literally could not stop laughing after that...

Congrats on the new pup! My wife has been working me over pretty hard for a white lab pup. I'm not sure I'm good enough to control two of those beasts on a hunt at the same time! but, I do love hunting over a good dog. Is it duck season yet?
