    Horse wrecks and adventures

    Here's another story, I think I was 17ish and we had lost a couple cow calf pairs and left them on the mountain. My brother in law and myself went up after them before the snow hit, we found them in a big bowl valley and they were very easy and manageable to push out. Everything went smoothly...

    Horse wrecks and adventures

    Haha don't take it the wrong way, I still love horses and mules. But hell nobody ever remembers or recalls when something was easy and went smoothly. I've ridden thousands of miles that nothing ever happened, I probably won't remember those on my death bed. It seems like the wrecks and the hard...

    Horse wrecks and adventures

    Alright I have one I guess, probably the worst pack wreck I've been in, without anyone or anything getting hurt. When I was 15 my dad and I were packing in an archery deer camp, the plan was pack in 2 days before set up camp and then I would go back down the next day and pick up my uncle. Well...

    Brand of meat grinder

    I currently have an LEM #22 with dual grind, I butcher everything myself from sheep to beef and everything in between. It's a dang good grinder I ground 100 pounds of beef with it last December well under 10 minutes and the meat was not almost frozen. The thing that took the longest was running...

    Packing with llamas

    The llamas definitely are considerably cheaper to feed, take less water, fit more in a trailer. The llamas are a lot of fun and no matter what they do to you, you never get so hurt you cant get out. Plenty of pros and cons on both sides.

    Packing with llamas

    Well I sold em, still kind of kicking myself for it. But the wife wanted a horse and I wanted a mule so she surprised me on my birthday with a mule. I'm gonna sell and lose my ass on, he needs an experienced person to ride and handle him, my wife is not an experienced person with stock so I'm...

    6 creed with 95 TMK thoughts

    I think it would work great, I smoked a mulie at 500 last season with slightly lighter hammer hunters and there was no tracking.

    Are Caribou Game Bags really worth the hype?

    I have beat the crap out of my caribou bags, everything you're not supposed to do with them I have done, ie. Hang them by the closure cord, way over loaded, strapped them to well pretty much anything. I have not had a failure yet, the only problem is if you have a buddy that has sub quality bags...

    Do you believe in ghosts

    Hahaha this, rob if I ever meet you in person I will buy you a beer. Heck I don't know for sure, I do remember stuff from my youth that was pretty unexplainable. Like dogs barking at random walls or growling while they appear to be watching something crawling across the ceiling. Or when my...

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    Also you can still hunt and get out with an injury, torn ACL, LCL, PCL, broken ankles, ruptured appendix etc. Its only life threatening if you let it be life threatening.

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    Drug smugglers, illegal grow sites, illegal drugs being made, human traffickers, etc. Those are worse and will usually get you pretty damn dead if you stumble up on one. Hell you stumble upon the wrong camp and you could end up pretty dead especially with all the gangs around a lot of the...

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    I guess growing up in lion country and being around them my entire life, I just don't seem to worry about them at all. I've seen a lot of mountain lions in my life probably more than a good chunk of people will ever see and never once was I worried about them eating me, attacking me, or maiming...

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    Serious question, why is everyone afraid of a mountain lion? Hell it's the 2 legged critters you need to worry about.

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    Alone and solo is the only way to go. That being said I do have a few friends I enjoy hunting with. My first time in the mountains alone was a train wreck, I was 12 and gathering cows, I had 2 horses with me and at night every time one of the horses blinked I'm pretty sure I heard it and...
