my wife chose this year's trip. next year, my turn!!
i warned her, it might be cold. there is a 5% chance i am going to see the northern lights in Finland (bucket list, those crazy lights)
95% chance we are going to AK. i wont be able to drag my wife in on an alpine lake landing drop-off...
i got this bug up my butt to revisit my youth. i was so accurate as a kid when my mom; in her infinite wisdom thought it would be a good idea to buy her two tiny sons Wrist-Rockets. we got good!!
i would hit sparrows at 20 yards with dirtclods. i did have that thing taken away when i winged...
Probably overkill for a hunting knife; but I'm a knife sharp freak! I keep this in my office for keeping my knife sharp. Easier to stay sharp than to sharpen a dull knife. Oh boy! This put a polished edge on my pocket knife. I put one drop and smear it around on the belt loop od a tool sheath...
i love my brother. he is fit, dedicated, and gets after it. he keeps me motivated to unzip that damn sleeping back at dark-thirty every morning. we hunt hard. and he is always willing to go on any far fetched hair brained hunt i come up with.
but he has one downside. his attitude when...
machu Picchu. yup. my wife got a wild ass hair and booked us on a friggen hike in PERU. a hike!!
for the record, my vote was to see the northern lights in Finland.
i googled it. this will be a hike of epic levels. it will be my first at 14000 feet. i'll be the only person wearing...
My trip is over. I?m home. 5000+ more miles on my truck by adding thanksgiving trip to the tail end.
Killed two day limit on sandhill crane. Success!
Did my best stalk ever.......on a giant jackrabbit. Saw him at 100 yards and stalked like ninja to 25 yards. Then made the best kneeling shot...
it makes freehand holding them damn near unbearable. i get nauseous more often freehand holding them. like going back to non-HD TV after watching HD-TV. :)
oddly enough i found the biggest blurriest buck freehand holding..by pure luck. hahah..i am shocked i saw it..i wouldnt have if it didnt...
daaaaannng!
Day one of sandhill crane hunting is behind us. This morning was insane. Craneaggedon! The first group landed so far away; I was dejected. I thought, Crap, just perfect. I had earplugs in so I could not hear the birds. I look behind us and the sky was black. Err. Okay. I calmed...
what a mess. My neighborhood spent several harrowing days watching a fire skirt our borders. We evacuated TWICE! They green lighted us to come back. Fire fighters from all over the country got it done. I saw a fire engine company from N Carolina I think!
No electricity the entire time...
wow. the rifle. 257 Weatherby Mag. its a weatherby rifle. the Mark-V. i bought it on a whim when i was young and knew squat about rifles. i really saved my $$. i think i read a Roy Weatherby magazine article or something.
i sighted it in this weekend. had two boxes of the regular 100gr...
went to the range yesterday. Love where I live, but the bow range options suck.
So, always looking for the best way to optimize my range time.
I started at the 80 yarder. First shot was money. Perfect bulls . then things went back to normal. 6-8" groups. I shot a few rounds. Then I ...
