Will up my exercise routine and start "pack training" on July 1st. I got giardia once on a canoe trip and lost 8# in two days, 4# more in the next two days. Believe me, you don't want to follow that routine. Good luck all.

I donate when I apply. Have hunted in the access areas, but so far haven't needed the Search & Rescue. I have a snowmobile bud who was airlifted off a mt. in Montana last year, and as we all know, S@$! Happens.

Great challenge Scott, I'm in. I've been pretty good about not letting things go too far, so only have 10# or so to lose. At 5'10" I weighed in at 188# this morning. My Marine Corps weight 43 years ago was 175#, but I feel better at 180#. My compromise goal is 178#. Will post my "before"...

I used some smaller roasts to make Philly Grills (AKA Cheesesteak Sandwiches) for my wife last year, and it has become her favorite meal. I generally use backstrap or even tenderloin, but roasts work fine, just cut it into thin strips, season with Montreal Steak or similar, and fry in oil to...

You can out eat any exercise, and I proved it for over 40 years. Maybe we all could post "before" pictures in bikini underwear and be shamed into sticking to the diet plan. I'll do a weigh-in tomorrow AM and see if I can join the 15# challenge.

Good thing you were home during the last few months Marcus, or your kids wouldn't even know you.

I can't do what I used to do, but have kept up the basic daily exercise, and try to be physically active all day. This morning was able to do 22 pullups and 43 push-ups. Don't know many 20 year olds who can do that. Will be starting extensive pack training (rucking) in prep for my Sept...

Ya gotta love that random draw!

Drew the expected H deer tag. Boys, I'm a going hunting.

I was foot dragging on this as I am not very techy and don't want to be. But, will give it a try, & thanks to the sponsors for the great give-aways. One of these days I may actually get lucky.

I always try to keep up on my logbook during a trip, and have done so since I was 17. At the end of a trip, I make a list of "lessons learned", including clothing for the conditions encountered. It is easy to forget or mix up what you should have done. For instance, on my last WY cow elk...

Pursuing your passions. Have a great time.

Montana hit it on the head. The guided trips that I have gone on went a long way towards giving the feet on the ground (or stirrups) knowledge that has made me a successful DIY deer and elk hunter. You still have to hunt where the game is. Be in shape and hone your shooting skills as much as...

Turkeys will be able to get away from the fire, but the chicks won't. I don't know if they will have a second batch like some birds do if they lose the first one.

Is your caribou hunt in Canada or Alaska? Do you have a possible tag in WY?

The Wyoming deer/antelope draw is coming up on the 18th, and it is almost a sure bet for me with 4 pts. for the H tag. The prospects aren't too good for a booner buck this year, but waiting a few more years isn't really an option so it will be game on. My biggest challenge is that my hunting...

After retiring as a police officer, I spent 7 summers as a canoeing guide in wilderness areas of the US and Canada. Managed over 3,000 miles in a canoe, and had planned for an expedition from Lake Superior to Hudson's Bay. But, both times the 20 somethings had life get in the way and dropped...

Marcus, I would suggest that you start making some alternative plans for the time period of the Canada bear hunt. Perhaps not anything that you have to pre-book. Maybe even just a scouting trip for some future hunt.

So Tim, is your wife going to go along for a "quickie" with her broken ankle and all? Sorry, but you did set it up for me.

Yup Marcus, I feel your pain. The border is now closed until the end of July, and we had to cancel our 3rd attempt for an Ontario fishing trip. Who knows how many of the resorts or outfitters will even remain in business after losing a full season. My wife & I had been planning an Alaska road...
