My daughter wanted to get a bear this year. She's taken a lot of deer, but although I get a bear almost every year, for some reason they have avoided us when she is able to be with me. This year we planned to get it done and on only the 3rd outing she connected on a nice young boar. We were...

I got a nice surprise and drew a unit 22 late deer tag in ID. It seems like a great tag with good success rates. I haven't found much information on this hunt though. It's still early and I haven't contacted very many resources, but thought I might run it by the folks on EF and see if anyone has...

I made the long road trip to AZ for the second time in a few months. I was fortunate enough to be successful on another first for me. This time it was Javelina. I went to AZ expecting another solo experience, but between the guys that shared knowledge of the area over the phone/web and the great...

mcseal2,Probably already covered, but on some hunts like the Koyukuk hunt I went on; you are required to take the ribs w/bone in. We cut the ribs right at the back bone. It made it reasonable to handle. As far as tools, we just used the regular knives I always use. At the time that was a Schrade...

I was able to make the long road trip(23 hrs.)from OR to AZ for my first ever Coues hunt. Until I reached my hunting unit I had never even seen a Coues deer. The fact that I had never set foot in the unit and this would be a solo hunt made for a little bit of nervousness. But still, I was like a...

Had a good late Muzzle Loader Whitetail hunt and was lucky enough to connect with this cool double brow tine buck!

I was fortunate to find this guy, tucked away in the midst of the opening morning crowd of hunters. Kind of unusual for me as I usually don't tag out until the pressure drops off a bit.

We eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast on our pack in trips to AK. Super easy, quick, light and compact. Pick a few berries and mix in and it's even better!

I didn't draw a Spring Bear tag, but made up for it with my best Spring Long Beard season yet! I feel pretty lucky. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Had another great MT deer hunt to finish out the year.

UT MZ BULL I finally drew a MZ elk tag in UT this year. After the 14 year wait, I have to say I was a little surprised and almost unprepared for the successful notice. I’ve hunted deer and antelope many times, as well as multiple species in AK, but as far as elk are concerned I was a true...

The rack is one of those that is hard to see everything at once. Here's one looking down on the rack.

Tough hunt that I was beginning to question my sanity for passing up a small buck. Just couldn't turn up a mature deer. It all was worth the wait when this buck appeared out of the wood work. Kind of like a ghost peaking through the re-prod. Always a mentally tough hunt in the brush, but when it...

Solo trip to UT for a MZ elk hunt.

Thought I'd add a pic showing the amount of fat on this old guys back. Over 4" in spots and it was only mid Sept. This pic is showing the cut down through the back right between the hams and the rib cage.

Well I lucked out and got a big bear just in time to get him cut up (with my brothers help) and in the freezer. I actually had to postpone my departure date to UT for my MZ Elk hunt a couple days. I had seen a small bear 3 different times (one of those I sat within 20 yards) but against my...

I ran into this one and two others during one stalk on a antelope hunt in MT. It must have been close to a den, because I haven't ran into any on other hunts or on any other stalks during that hunt. It definitely reminded me to pay attention though:)

I've hunted it a couple times I'll send a PM.

I have a Knight MK-85 MZ that I shoot conicals, caps and peep sights with. I love this gun and it's legal in OR, CO, ID, WA etc.. I am hunting elk in UT with a MZ this year and hope to take advantage of their more liberal MZ restrictions. I am looking to buy a MZ that I'll shoot strictly sabots...

Well not really fishing, but clamming is a great way to get through the off-season too. Thought I'd throw a couple pics we took with limits of razor and bay clams while the family was at the coast.
