Just got home from Blue Mesa. Fishing was pretty poor. Lake has an algae bloom and surface temp pretty warm. All the Kokanee are deep (70 to 100'). We trolled and without downriggers , couldn't get deep enough. Fished some where the Gunnison River enters the lake and caught a few rainbows.

We definately need a new governor to begin with.

I was going thru some old pictures when I came across this one. It is of my son, who was about 5 at the time. We were sitting drinking a brewski or 2 and my wife said "Look at Steve!" We all started laughing and I took the picture. Kids are so innocent when they are young. We used to go to...

I bought deer and antelope points to go with the ones I already have. Probably have enough for 2024, but a lot depends on how many tags they issue. The units I hunt are all in the south central and south western part of Wy. These areas got hit pretty hard last winter.

Got the rv out of the barn and cleaned it up and am packing for a week at Blue Mesa near Gunnison. We are leaving Monday morning with 4 other couples. Life long friends and hunting and fishing friends too. One thing for sure, it will be a lot cooler there. Been over 90 here for the last 3 weeks...

I wore a brace to prevented me from bending my knee for 3 months. I have had pt 3 days a week for 2 months until 2 weeks ago. No brace or support needed says the Doc.

Like the US Supreme Court.....deeeeep pockets.

Saw my surgeon l this week and he said I am good to go. Start walking longer and just be a little careful on uneven surfaces for a couple of months. I will be using walking sticks for awhile on my walks. I'll be ready for 4th season with my elk tag in hand!

Well said my friend!

I bought my son his first big game rifle in 1977 when he was 12. I bought a Remington 600 in .243. He still has it and still shoots well. If I was buying a kid their first big game rifle today, I probably would buy exactly what Hilltop did. It probably will do everything needed to take almost...

I have a handful of units that I have researched and hunted that are not generally very popular for various reasons. When I don't draw or just want points, I go to them and look to see if there are any available as left overs or secondary draw. This year I put in for 4 different tags for elk in...

Get a BLM map. Lots of public land.

I have one (a Leupold) and I like it, BUT in my opinion it's not a hunting scope. I bought it for my 25-06 and it was great at lower powers. I was using it on an antelope hunt and was looking across a big area at some goats about a 1/2 mile away. I had it set at 18x. Forgot to turn it back to...

I have 3 big game calibers 25-06, 30-06 & .300 Wby. I hand load for everything, Havn't shot factory loads since the 1950"s. My .25 is for antelope, hogs and deer. My .300 Wby is for elk and anything larger. My 30-06 is my backup. All shoot less than moa groups. Don't know what I would use...

Drew a cow elk on my secondary draw application. I listed 4 choices and drew my 3rd choice. Di

Deer and elk don't open until Oct 1 or later. You really have plenty of time to get your goat before they open.

As long as you don't ask me to buy your out of state tags, keep spending it.....LOL!

If this case is lost (again) on appeal, bet it goes all the way to the US Supreme Court as the landowner obviously has very deep pockets!

I am probably going to replace the sonar fish finder. It has a Humminbird Wide Field. The problem is that it is really hard to read the screen when the sun shines on it. I also would like a color screen and as simple as possible operation. Small size and less than $500. Any recommendations?

Finally got my new boat in the water for a shake down yesterday. After I got it out of my storage cover, I had to de-winterize it. I checked all the engine and outdrive vitals. Charged the battery and checked all the safety equipment. I also moved and rewired the sonar fishfinder. Went to our...
