    What does a bull track look like?

    I have hands that fit in xl gloves. Around my parts, a mature bull print will be about as wide as my fist. Moose prints are larger and easily distinguished by pointy tips, like a deer. Elk have rounded fronts, more like a moo cow.

    left behind...

    Having been involved in a couple of news-worthy events I can tell you that reading the media reports left me confused as to what event they were reporting on. They literally make up details in their reporting. Anyone who really gets worked up over such reports should know that they rarely have...

    Daughters and Hunting

    I'm in the start em early camp. My girls wouldn't know what it looked like to be left behind. My problem isn't getting them to go, it's figuring out how to get them on elk every year. They expect it. I don't even need a gun any more, just good boots and a sharp knife. But I couldn't care less...

    Good one

    We had a meeting at work with some of the owners. An employee parked right at the meeting location and his truck stunk enough to make your eyes water. After the meeting I looked in the back of his truck and found there were two rotting trout. I grabbed them up with a grocery bag and shoved them...

    My first elk is almost home

    Wisdom here, and tact. Do yourself a favor and read this until it makes sense--put away your tape it won't add anything to an otherwise beautiful animal and excellent reminder of your hunt. A tape measure has never added to any of the elk on my walls.

    Youth outdoor book recommendations?

    I'm in the same spot. I just ordered Most Dangerous Game a few days ago. As a kid I enjoyed Louis L'Amour but my boy didn't connect. I'll be looking at Paulsen as that seems popular. I appreciate the suggestions as well.

    4-14x50 or 5-25x56 for Elk?

    I wouldn't elk hunt with either myself, and what you have for breakfast will make a bigger difference than this choice as to your success.

    Garage Heater

    Well, you are sand-bagging this job a bit. This heater will require power to the location, a hanger for the unit, gas line routed to the location with a valve and drop-pipe, and a thermostat. Also requires the vent to be sorted out for code and then installed--not exactly a dryer vent. Figure...

    Baby its Cold Outside! What's your temp?

    Whatever dude. You aren't thinking about the future. In a few years you'll be baking in 150 deg temps and I'll be laying by the pool, come on global warming! Aaaany minute now...

    Baby its Cold Outside! What's your temp?

    -17 this morning, not uncommon. But the temp dropped 52 deg in 12 hours at my house and that's nuts!

    Youth elk hunting boots

    I'd go for something insulated and get him some gaiters. We've been through a lot of boots for the kids and I don't have one that worked best for all of them but probably the Under Armor were the most popular. With three of them I don't mind spending a little on gear, we get multiple uses...

    Missed Opportunities

    That does sound like a good trip. However, when shooting up or down hill you have to hold lower--they probably shot high if shot angle was the culprit.

    How much hunting does your wife let you get by with?

    I asked an older friend once about this same question. He said his secret was dancing. He took his wife dancing once a week and she didn't bother him about his hobbies. I recon if you know what she needs, take care of that, the rest will go smoothly.

    This is why we cant have nice things

    Add a subdermal button to make it purr on contact and you've invented the best dang cat on the planet. You could market them to pet stores. Create the impossible burger of pet cats.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    We were camped in the desert with no service when these satellites came online apparently. The first night they were in a similar trajectory to each other and came by one after another. The second night they were in a line. It seemed so sketchy and it left me wondering what people around the...

    This is why we cant have nice things

    Btw, I'd like to point out that she saved the rest of the dogs, at least her glaring ignorance did. The unfortunate event led to the discovery of these dogs, their round-up, and now they are at a shelter in Missoula. That probably doesn't make the one she skinned out feel much better, ha ha.

    This is why we cant have nice things

    Apropos of nothing I'll share about a husky I had as a youngster. That little bugger would run away at any chance it had. Answer the door for the pizza man and he would blast through at full clip between your legs type of dog. Couple of times I would have shot that sob myself if given the...
