I just got back from NM and no quarantines in effect there now.

Infloor radiant heat provided by a boiler using propane. I also have a pellet stove. Everything does a great job.

Training your own dog is very satisfying. I have trained 3 and all of them turned out to be great hunters. Good luck.

A few years back after my last Elk draw, I realized that I probably would never draw any of the units I wanted to hunt again. At my age I don't have all that many years left to hunt. I will continue to buy points and apply for antelope and deer, but none of the rest of the big game tags or...

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there. My dad has been gone since 2016. He taught me a lot about being a man and the values that make you a good person. Miss him a lot.

1954. First deer at age 12, 67 years ago. I do have some when I was younger waterfowl hunting. I'll have to scan them in.

We almost moved to Idaho in 1977. I was offered ae engineering job at INEL (Idaho National Energy Lab) near Idaho Falls. Was all set to accept the job and relocate there, but just couldn't agree on the job package they were offering.

I have an HMR .17 that I use for prairie dogs. It is fine as long as I stay at 100 yds or so and there is no wind. Like the others said...I'll stick to my ...oops not a .22-250, but a .220 Ackley Swift..

OMG....I think I'm going to be a vegetarian from now on!

This morning the Dolores River was running dirty and a little high for several days ago. Must have got quite a bit of rain in the San Juans.

Thats all I got where I am, but we were in Cortez last evening for dinner (5 miles away) and it poured. Also the mountains got lots of rain.

More rain Friday evening.

The last week or so has been eye opening for me. The last couple of years here in the SW part of Colorado our normal summer monsoons have been a bust. Without them our drought has gotten worse. The last week or so has offered some hope that the trend might be different this year. The normal...

A lot depends on where I'm hunting. In an area that I am familiar with, usually the later the better. Conditions change over the summer, especially water availability. I have scouted antelope in July and went back in September and conditions had completely changed. It also depends on the animal...
