I am sorry but I just have to take a minute and rant about some hunters. It is opening day of the third rifle season and we have snow on the ground and it is cold. Usually a good combination! I went out this afternoon to see if I could put together a setup for coyotes and there were about a million hunters (exageration of course) sitting in their camps. I should tell you the time, it was around three in the afternoon. I couldn't believe it! I didn't get to do a set so I turned around and headed back down the road I came in on and toward the end of the road I saw about six deer feeding at the edge of this feild. I laughed to myself and kept on going. About two hundred yards down the road there were more deer out in another field. That is when I asked myself "should I turn around and tell these guyts that they should get off their asses and get out and hunt", I thought better of it and kept going. I don't know about you but the reason I go hunting is to be with good friends and family and to kill something. I know it is not all about killing something but if I wanted to sit around and bullshit with my friends I would not do it out in the middle of the woods in the cold. That is why I have a house. I was once told by a very wise person ( my father) that you will never fill your tag if you are sitting at camp. I  guess these guys just like to spend all that money on tags and equipment to just sit around the fire. I am done. I have said my piece and I will move on. good hunting and be safe.

Went out coyote hunting on the 24th with Barry and we didn't see anything. Drove all over the mountain and nothing. Just got some snow so maybe that will help get them out and moving. Going out again this weekend. Good hunting and be safe.

Hey everyone, came home yesterday from the annual deer and elk hunt and nothing is in my freezer. We headed up to the flattop on Friday to find six inches of snow on the ground. Opening morning we woke up to a heard of elk about 50 yards from camp. Too bad it wasn't light enough to see them. We sure did hear them. A bunch of cow calls and a bull banging in the trees. Everybody went out for the morning and didn't see a thing. JD and I had deer tags and my Dad and a friend of his from work had ...

Hey everyone. Archery season is over and I didn't fill my tag. That is ok though because I got to be out in the wood and have the experiance of a big elk bugeling just 80 yards away. What makes it even better is I got to do it with my dad. Rifle season starts on the 17th of October so maybe we can get our deer. Jason Hart got his buck during muzzelloading season. They hunted hard for two weekends and on the last day he filled his tag. My boss filled his archery elk tag on the last morning of ...

Well, turkey season is here and all the rednecks are ready to go. I got my bird on the second day of the season. I had to tromp through the mud to get him but I did it. He had an eight inch beard and about three quarter inch spurs. Kari got her bird about a week later. He was a nice jake. We are still looking for three more birds but they are getting harder to find with the limited public land around here, but I think we can do it. Well good luck and we will talk to you later.
