Dang it, Scott! No injuries right before hunting season, brother!

Running makes my knees hurt too. I bought an Echo bike, and I stand up as I pedal on that. The arm action combined with standing pedaling is pretty similar to running without the impact. Doesn't hurt my knees at all.

I pay money to lease private land to hunt in my home state. It would be nice to have a chance to hunt for free - even once every two or three years. I know you guys that have grown accustomed to hunting for free every year are upset when those opportunities begin to get harder to come by. But...

This morning's workout was a good one, apparently. :D

I will carry an elk butt decoy with me next month for an archery hunt. No way I'd carry one around during a general season though, no matter how good they work.

Liz isn't too popular in Texas either. Her expected loss was another reason it was a good day.

There's cooler (less hot) temps and almost daily rain chances in our extended forecast - two things we haven't seen in a long time. And the Texas Rangers fired Jon Daniels today. LOOOOOONG overdue firing. OK, carry on...... We're just happy around here. :D

In that swirl of hair in front of red when he takes the next step.

I have a Grilla pellet smoker. It's been a good one. Well built.

We were in Hawaii last week. With travel and jet lag and catching up at work, we missed 2 weeks of working out. Been back at it the last few days doing MtnTough 45/70 mixed in with our other strength and mobility work. I don't feel like we lost anything by missing 2 weeks. Starting next...

We're hunting a ranch west of Trinidad next month. It's green and all the tanks are brimming full right now. I sure wish the rain would spread south and east. We've had over 70 days of 100 degree temps and less rain that we had in the historic drought of 2011 this year. Getting bad.

I like a lot of different knives. I have several fixed blade knives made by knifebuilder friends of mine. Jason Fry is one. He was on the Forged in Fire TV show a couple years ago. I have a Buck 110 that is a great hunting knife. I have a similar locking folder that's from Cabela's (before...

Sounds like your recovery is going well. Keep up the good work!

That's a lot of river to paddle/float. I hope you did it all going downstream! :D

Eat a lot of fat for fuel. I wouldn't worry about it if you eat more carbs than normal too. It's just a few days on your hunt. It won't ruin your life. But fat is more calorie dense than carbs. Fat bombs, olive oil, macadamia and/or pili nuts or nut butter, regular ol' butter.... Whatever...

Good work. I just turned 56 last week myself. What type of nutrition/eating plan are you doing? I started a keto diet 3 years ago. For the last year and a half or so, I've been less strict but still very low carb, high fat with good amount of protein - all natural foods, nothing processed...

Fo sho! If I was hunting in grizz or brown bear country, I'd buy another .454.

I'm not too worried about either. I've never had a problem with bears or lions. I did have a bear popping his/her jaws at me in the oakbrusk in the dark at 10 yards one time. I backed out and went around. :D Blowing cow/calf sounds in cat country is probably the main reason I'd think about...

What pistol do you carry in black bear/mountain lion country? And what holster do you like while backpacking?

There are no easy or perfect solutions, for sure. Trying to find the best compromise is tough. Maybe 80/20 split? Maybe all draw on public land in all units? Maybe keep OTC for private land in some units? Maybe OTC doe/cow permits for private land in some units? Point creep sucks, and it's...
