Glad there is finally a season. Wolves need to be managed! I can't believe how the U.S. had "managed" apex predators over the last 25 years. It's insane!
It was a weird year for us. Weather was too warm to get the Canada and Montana birds down here. We had some good mornings but overall it was slower than normal.
Always fun to get out, though!
There are some companies coming out with some kick butt gear. I just got SG's new catalog. Wow, they are making a splash!
Sitka has updated their Dewpoint ultralight raingear, which is mostly what I use since it is so lightweight. Looking forward to seeing this stuff.
Kryptek's Sonora...
I already hay a bunch of Skull Hookers so my son and I just made one from scarp lumber and a pallet for some old antlers from bucks I shot when I was younger.
Plenty of room to add more, too.
What a toad.... beautiful buck!
This buck I saw on IG that ScottR showed me looks eerily similar to the one I screwed up on last fall. Maybe this year....
Can you guys believe application season is about to begin already for next year? Man! Time flies. I need to decide whether or not to burn my CO points. I'm probably gonna apply for my son and I in ND for archery, and all of the normal deer/elk/antelope here in WY.
I got skunked in the...
Starting this Saturday the 21st of November, we are doing a deer week on YouTube and social media. All things mule deer! This includes the final 50 minute migration video we've been working on called IMPERILED. I got to preview it on Monday and it is awesome!!! We are rolling that one out on...
Lol! I hear ya. About the time I think I have everything setup and dialed in with my gear, newer toys come out. It blows my mind some of the cool products and technology we have at our fingertips, even compared to just 20 years ago.
We laugh at ourselves at the office how we complain about...
I just got an email yesterday from Savage about the launch of their new Backcountry Xtreme rifle series they are debuting today. They seem to keep pumping out new rifle models and making functional improvements. I had never shot a Savage before working here at Eastmans'. I gotta admit, they...
Hey guys! Here is a fun video I did on a a/c build for the tent with the help of YETI (they supplied the cooler). It can be done with any cooler, pretty much, but we had some fun seeing what a $400 cooler looked like with holes cut into it. It actually held block ice for days, even with the...
Cool chart. It is definitely promoting longer wait times than generally needed, which is good overall. A double lung shot is so quick and lethal. However, like it says, "When in doubt back out". Nothing worse than losing an animal, especially after you've bumped them in their death bed.
We make everything out of mule deer, including steaks, chops, roasts, jerky, burger, etc. I love mule deer...it's what I drew up eating and so are my kids :)
Getting busted when trying to draw my bow when deer would fake feed to get you to move. Busted me big time the first year I bowhunted when ambushing some mule deer.
