Me and the dog have been pretty lazy this summer, so with the cooler weather recently, I decided it was time to start working the dog. Was a short session, since some of us are out of shape! All training sessions always end with about 30 minutes of swim time in the pool!

My spring is officially over as of this morning, having filled out all of my KS and MO tags. I had a great season, some amazing hunts, and made some mind numbingly stupid mistakes.. After a crazy two days in Kansas for the early archery season, which involved me missing 4 times, and not...

I thought I had this figured out.. But, maybe I don't. I bought my AZ license last year on 01/31/16. AZ licenses are good for a year, so mine expires this year on 01/31/17. When I go into create my application, it pulls my existing license, but in BOLD RED, it indicates that I must have a...

It's been a rough season here, with really warm temperatures and no ducks for a majority of the season. Then we got that cold snap, and everything froze, even most of the big water. The river was to dangerous to run, with the big ice flow on it.. After about a full day of driving, my cousin...

I'm a bit of a duck call junky, so I thought I might share these calls I just had made. My dad recently decided to sell his first farm, the one I grew up hunting, and shot my first deer and first duck off of. We rarely, if ever use the farm any more, so it was time to move on... When he told...

I'm leaving for Denver next week, and will be out there for about 2 weeks. I'll be working the entire time, but I should have evenings free, and weekends as well. Was hoping to find the time to maybe do a little fishing in the evenings. I was perusing the CO fishing atlas, and it looks like...

I know most of you all here don't hunt out of tree stands, but for those that do, just a reminder about wearing your harness, and wearing it properly. A girl my wife went to college with just lost her husband last week, when he couldn't get back in his stand after he fell out. Stay safe out...

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...

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...

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!

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...

I was talking with a buddy who was recently deployed.. Asked him if I could send him anything, he says "Beef Jerky!!" I says "OKAY! Anything else?" He says "Nah, not really.." Me "No turkey killin videos? Duck killin videos?" "Yeah, those would be good too" So, he really won't give...

...Into Kansas, to chase a few jayhawks on the archery opener. Had an insane day, and I literally could have shot jakes on about 15 different occasions. We called in 4 strutters at about 930, and my buddy was able to connect. He left shortly thereafter. From the time he left, until 130...
