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...

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...

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?

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.

As Joe Don Baker said in Eisheid; "Boy, you done good...you done real good."

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.

So, it appears that the east slopers passed a ref. that only applied to west slopers. Perfect.

OOFF-DA MIA Slugz....that's a lot of meat. The kid will be able raz you for the rest of your life about him having the good sense to drop his bull on dry land. Good for you both.

That's the way to do it man....hit the ground running.

On the exercise front: I have been aggressively pack training for my upcoming caribou hunt, as we will have to pack a ways to camp carrying all of our gear, and then hunt on foot thru rough terrain and pack out all meat. But, I have some issues with the arthritis in my feet, and that has led...

Ohhhh...whatever else Tim you got to have peace in the valley when you bring that mount home. My discussion with my wife when I called home after my first bull elk & getting a shoulder mount became a serious discussion. A full body mount will need the proper dedicated space that could possibly...

Good to see DAN.......you gotta love it when a plan comes together.

We are going for caribou, but musk ox can be added if we chose to pay for it. We will be eating musk ox and caribou in camp, and I will try to collect some wool while we are there to have some socks made (or buy from a local source). We should see some ox, and that is good enough at this...

Good going Marcus. It should be some fine eating, but expect to have some baulking about doing so. I found that I could serve hamburger or swiss steak to those who said that they couldn't stand the taste of bear (without their ever actually eating any), and they never knew that what they were...

Yup, it should be. We have just about everything prepped, ready, and paid for, including airfare.....now about all we can do is get fit, stay fit. stay healthy. Story and photos to follow in late October.

I had to lay off my pack training for a while because of some mysterious foot pain, but my wife came up with a spot on diagnosis.....I had upped the amount of time in the kayak, and I brace against the footpegs to position my knees into the hull. I only wear neoprene booties that don't provide...

Here's some pics of the flooring project. I didn't take any of the holes and cracks before I patched them, but that was the hardest part of the project. I have moved on to the maintenance staining/sealcoat of my log buildings that require some touchup annually. For exercise, I have been...
