    That skree/rubble is always a bitch, especially since it is usually on a steep slope. I would rather go up than down, and I've been a lot of places where if things went bad I would likely have to hit the rescue button on my InReach. It's good that you had some reliable help nearby. Have a...

    Tough news. Did you have much trouble getting out from where you broke your leg/ankle/foot?

    Hoffman boots

    CoV: What constitutes a trophy cow? I shot an old cow last year in WY...she was the biggest cow that I have ever killed, and also the toughest. The locals tell me that I should shoot a calf, but I just can't allow myself to do that. Good Luck.

    In regards to SPAM; I am often up very early, and scads of that stuff plugs up the forum when I log on. But it gets cleaned out quickly once the moderators start their day, and unless someone decides to stay up all night to smack them when they appear, I think that is the best that they can do.

    So that's what they mean when they say, "Deer in the headlights look."

    Both. The wolf/deer dynamic reach a balance point with a very low deer population, but a number of severe winters (even in the midst of "global warming") had decimated the herds and the 3,000 plus wolves in NE MN have limited the recovery.

    Darn right....it was 19 degrees here yesterday morning, and I woke up to 7" of fresh snow. I'm so not ready for this.

    I'm headed to the deer camp on Thursday, and due to the complete collapse of the NE MN deer herd over the last ten years, I do not even plan to get a deer license. On the exercise front, instead of sitting in a tree, I will do some grouse hunting. I will use the UTV on the trails that we have...

    WOW! What a trip. You were definitely lucky, but what is usually the case, you made your own luck. The luckiest part of the whole thing was that you didn't end up with a "Country Bear Jamboree" at your campsite. I'm jealous boys, as a trip such as this has probably run out of the end of my...

    Wyoming First Elk

    I shot a spike last season with my crossbow in WY, and I must say that has been the best eating elk that I have killed. The second elk I got that year was a cow....big, old, and tough. She was converted to hamburger and sausage and will go down just fine. You will enjoy yours every time you...

    So Tim, was that a Biggada-Bangad-Boom, or a Bigga Twangada-Thwack? Congratulations either way.

    I got back last night from the Greenland caribou hunt . I will do a full write up with some pics in a few days. On the fitness issue, I must say that this was one tough hunt..... we walked about 50 plus miles over four days of hunting, all on the most difficult terrain that I have even been...

    I am headed out on Saturday AM, and eventually ending up in Greenland for my caribou hunt on Monday. I did have to back way off of my pack training because of the leg & foot issues, and that will certainly affect my daily hikes. But, slow and steady wins the race, and I will soon be in the "No...

    Area 93 antelope

    That there is a right pretty antelope. Area 93 is just south of some of the most severe winter kill, but clearly the survivors had a good summer. How were the overall numbers?

    Elk Muzzleloader

    The Globe inserts would be just the ticket for a deer or elk on an open hillside. But, it is a whole different situation when you are trying to see it in the brush or timber. If you are happy with it on the range, be sure to do some sighting in on a decoy that is a ways away & in some brush.

    Nice grayling SLUGZ... those little suckers are great fun to catch, and fight well above their weight class. It looks like you and your son are well invested in KUIU gear....I've done the same as the closeout deals come around.
