    Scouting 2015

    Pictures taken at 9 to 10k feet. Everything is so green & lush, looks like spring. I rode my quad, roads really rough, didn't want to take my new truck as I really doesn't have a lot of clearance.

    Ford N9 Tractor

    Neighbor just sold his house and is moving. He gave me his N9 and several attachments. Doesn't seem to run well as it overheats. Guess I got a new project. I'm going to start with the radiator and water pump. One of the attachments is a brush hog, should get a lot of use out of it.

    Fishing 2015

    Seeing all these Browns, just had to show the one my wife caught a couple of years ago. She was using one of my special "Garden Hackles". A great big night crawler that I inflated so it would float up off the bottom. I surprised her with a mount of it for Christmas. Took all the dimensions &...

    Scouting

    Spent a lot of the last 2 days scouting a unit that I have never hunted elk there before. I made a mistake and put the wrong unit choice for my M/L elk choice. I drew it and then realized I had a problem. Luckily it is only 60 miles north of my home place so I can spend some time scouting. This...

    Fishing 2015

    Just got back from a week of fishing at Vallecito Res (20 miles east of Durango). Fishing was really tough, only caught a few rainbows and Kokanees. The week before we got there it was a wide open bite.....go figure! Fun anyway and got to put some hours on my new pontoon boat.

Occasionally there will be a decent buck around too, especially during the rut. I shot this 4x4 a few years ago. I...
