I was by a local business last week (Adobe Milling, Dove Creek, Co) and took some pictures of a really nice buck that is on the wall there. It was shot in 4th season just north of there. The lady who shot it was very proud of it and I can see why. She said there was another buck with it that she...

Great fish. I have attached a picture of my first King (Chinook) caught in 1956 when I was 15. My Dad and I caught 3, biggest was #36, mine was #29. We caught them of Ft. Bragg, Ca in a rental skiff. I have caught several more off Southern Calif in my own boat too. It's easy to get hooked on...

Got back late last night from my hunt in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in D7. Hunting was really tough to put it mildly. Opening day was cool and clouded up with 3+" of rain, hail and snow Sat night. Rest of the week was clear and lots of wind and some more snow on the way out on Thursday. The...

The election to recall 2 elected members of the state legislature over their pro gun control vote earlier this year is today. I sure hope both of them are sent home. They are not in my area so I can't vote, but a big turnout is expected. Lots of out of state $$$ has been spent, especially by...

I was in my local Walmart yesterday shopping for a few items for my hunting trip later this month. I always go by the sporing goods section to see what they might have thats new. Especially in the fall before hunting season, they have a lot of new items, I even saw some new compound bows and...

I sure hope they can get a handle on this fire and get it out ....SOON! In 3 weeks I am returning to California for our annual wilderness deer hunt. We have had fires near us before and the smoke is miserable and makes hunting tough. My family has gone to the same camp since 1946 in the Ansel...

I was really glad to see the story in this issue of EHJ about Brittney Black's Desert Bighorn Sheep from here in SW Colorado. I see lots of familiar landmarks in the photos and what a ram! This is the tag that I have been trying to get for years, hope one day to get lucky before I get too old...

Dog training is really not hard, but you need lots of patience and repetition. It is never to early to start them. Obedience is the foundation for everything else. Start with simple one word commands...sit, stay, etc. Remember puppies are like kids, they have a very short attention span and need...

Colorado Parks & Wildlife has posted the leftover tags. They officially go on sale Aug 6. I was going to get a 4th season cow tag, but none left in the unit I want.:(

This is my 57 Ranchero. When I lived in SoCal used to use it in Parades.

Just got back from the range this morning. Got my old sporterized Springfield dialed in. Got my new custom ballistic turret from Leupold and got it sighted in at starting yardage of 200 yds. 3 shot group of less than 2 ". The old gal is ready for deer season in September. Next week I need to...

The fun part of some of these shoots is night shooting with black powder. It is awsome (and I don't use that word much!) You have to see it to believe it. I shoot a 10ga SxS shotgun at night loaded with 125 grs BP & 2 1/2 oz of shot and pull both triggers at once. The spectators are blown away...

Some Pictures from cowboy shoots.

Just got back from a week in Chama, NM and did a little fishing and exploring in the Colorado high country just north of the NM state line. Snow almost all gone. Quakies are almost all infested with tent catapillers and lots old beetle kill. Everything else is really green and lush. Caught some...

Finally finished up almost a month of competative shooting......and I'm tired! 2 regional shoots in preparation for the state championships and finished up with another regional last weekend with everyone going to the world championships in New Mexico next weekend. I did pretty well considering...

I know this has been discussed at length previously, but I need to vent a little about my concerns on a TV program I watched this week (It was NOT Best of the West). It was elk hunting in Wyoming by a young teen with his Dad who is the show host. This was the boy's first elk hunt. He shot a nice...

This is Molly, my Lab that I had to put down yesterday. Old age finally got her, she was 14. Had her since she was a pup and trained her myself. She also naturally pointed when we hunt upland game. She was the most intelligent dog I ever had.

A week from today the draw results will be posted for Sheep & Goats. Hope I get lucky!!!

Whoopee...............UPS just delivered my new T/C Pro Hunter. This is really a big improvement over my old T/C Black Diamond. I can't wait to shoot it. First I am going to find out what size the barrel is with the Thor kit I have. Then might get to shoot it this week. Depends on the weather...
