    Flying with ram head Canada to US

    I've done this multiple times. I used a large Yeti duffle and wrapped the head in my sleeping bag and put several pair of socks on each horn tip for a little extra protection. Definitely do a very thorough job of cleaning out the brain cavity. I ran lot of boiling water through mine to make...

    Anyone have recommendations for a location for Ocellated Turkey hunt?

    By saying it is not your typical turkey hunt I meant you are not really calling in the birds. I've heard they respond a little bit later in the season (like right now for example) but it is more sitting in a blind waiting for an ambush type hunt. For reference I went at the end of January...

    Anyone have recommendations for a location for Ocellated Turkey hunt?

    I went with Yukkutz Hunting. They run a really good outfit and seem to be the best in the business. I did a lot of research and was quite happy with my hunt. I shot two nice birds but it is certainly not a typical turkey hunt but it was fun as hell. My wife and I also stayed in the City of...

    Planning public land pheasants

    Not nearly as close but both N and S Dakota make it very easy to do a DIY hunt. Both states put out lots of great information regarding access and it can easily be done. I made two trips to S Dakota and one to N Dakota this year with my 2 YO lab and we had an absolute blast and got a limit...

    Winter Bivouac in the Elkhorns

    I wish I would have known you were doing it. I'd have loved to walk back in there. After you went in and came out!

    Winter Bivouac in the Elkhorns

    Did you make the whole loop or how far did you go? That one can be a ball-buster in the deep snow, nice effort!

    My 2024 Dall Pack LIst

    Very organized list, nice job. I tend to pack like you. Take too much and it's tough for me to shed weight and leave stuff behind. I'd rather carry a couple extra pounds personally and don't notice it much after the first day. Sure you can get by with one less pair of socks and a set of...

    Flying to Whitehorse from TX

    Personally I'd fly to Calgary and then fly WestJet directly to Whitehorse. I did this route last August and it worked fine. I did the trip through Vancouver in 2018 and it was kind of a pain in the ass and they are not the most hunter friendly airport in my opinion. That trip I flew Delta to...

    Taking Equity out of Home to Go on Guided Hunts

    Personally I wouldn't do what you are proposing but that's just my opinion. One thing to keep in mind is quite a few outfitters are using escalation clauses so I'm not sure you would actually by able to lock in prices for all four sheep and be able to rely on those prices when the time to hunt...

    The Chinese Wall (the one in Montana! :)) in January

    About the time I start to think I'm doing some pretty manly shit, I read one of your adventures and then I'm back to feeling like a wuss. Quite an adventure, well done!

    Bourbon

    Basil Hayden's is my current go to. Had been a long time Woodford fan but BH has overtaken it. Smoother in my opinion. I am a bit of a collector (a small bit) and bought a couple bottles of Blanton's and Booker's. Two to drink and two to keep for show. I just didn't think either was...

    FCS Playoffs

    Can't argue with some of that. It's a heated rivalry that sometimes bring out the worst in people on both sides. I guess that's why it's such a good one! I know I take it too seriously sometimes and have to remind myself these kids are 18-22 YO and are likely much better citizens than I...
