    First Aid Kits

    I've always had just a basic one in my truck but never did pack one in a day pack or even take one on extended pack ins. Thankfully all the situations that I have encountered could be handled with a paper towel and some electrical tape. That is all but one. I sewed up a cut on my thumb with...

    September? WTF

    A lot of it is falling right in line with people giving up hunting. Many years ago my niece planned out her wedding but she asked her dad if there were any hunts going on during that time, there were but he gave her the OK to schedule her wedding for whenever she wanted it. I got married 2...

    Recommended Day Pack

    Whenever I am far enough away to have to pack out some meat from a elk I'll just take a front shoulder with me on the first trip back. Most time I'll even leave the whole leg attached for easier handling. This is in addition to my normal day pack which will also hold the liver and heart on...

    My Mounts are Getting Closer

    They have cull hunts just for warthogs for a real good price. The farmers land where I shot mine hated them. They do a lot of damage if they are in a sandy area from there rooting around.

    My Mounts are Getting Closer

    Well, I received a few emails and my mounts from this past June's African trip are ready to be shipped. But due to shutdowns in the permitting process in South Africa it may be around the middle of January before they are processed, so I might be able to expect them sometime in February...

    Youngest son

    Not much a parent can really do if they want to get into something except to support them. I know that there were many times that my mom just had to close her eyes at the things that I got into. Thankfully I survived with a few minor injuries. But in the long run I pretty much was in...

    It is always interesting on what turns up on winter ranges and realizing just what they go through to survive the hunting seasons.

    Spam posters

    If it is a new post we will usually see it, but if it is embedded into a thread we have a hard time seeing it. So if it is just a new post we will see it and take care of it. You have to remember that we have to sleep so the spam is usually cleaned up by this time in the morning once we see...

    New Years Resolutions

    I made one around 40 years ago and am holding to it. Making no New Years Resolutions. It is surprising at how easy it is to keep.

    Travel/Rescue Insurance For Adventure Hunts

    A member of our African hunting group had a small problem on his first day of hunting. He stepped on a rock that rolled out from under his foot. Down he went onto some more rocks resulting in a couple broken ribs. He spent a night in a South Africa hospital. We all had signed up with Rip Cord...

    Hunting Doe

    I haven't shot a doe in so many years that it is scary, I have however shot a number of cow elk. Shooting a doe just isn't for me. One problem with shooting a doe during any of the general seasons is that even if there are not any fawns with her they may still be in the area and you will...

    Wolves in Colorado

    The government needs to go with the will of the people. Here in Colorado 51%+ said that they wanted wolves. They also voted years ago to eliminate the spring bear hunt along with using dogs. The folks up in British Columbia decided that they didn't want hunters to hunt Grizzly bears and...

    Wolves in Colorado

    The sad thing is that looking at the map it includes units where the deer and elk are already struggling even without wolves

    Colorado Desert Ram Poached

    A number of years ago we had a so called hunter shoot a ram near I-70. He stashed the head into a culvert, I believe that he planned on letting nature take it's course and come back once it was just the skull. He got tripped up when someone walking the bike path smelled something rotten and...

    No HAZMAT Fee

    They have or had quite a bit in stock when I looked, both primers and powder. But as time goes on you never know unless you look.
