Late yesterday afternoon as I’m plugging away on the computer in the old home-office to make us a living, The Wife(tm) was getting a little bored. So, she loads up her rifle and such in the truck and heads for the bush. She’s been gone about 15 minutes when she calls me on the cell… Read More »
Well, the freezer has been looking just a little bit bare this year, having only one doe and a small-ish mulie in it (and for whatever bizarre reason, that doe is just as tough as nails, and probably going to be 100% hamburger, sadly) . So, this morning, we woke up long before daylight, grabbed… Read More »
So, after what has to be the worst season we’ve ever had of hunting, The Wife(tm) decided that she’d had enough of this not-shooting-anything thing. So, this morning, we headed into the MU she has a whitetail doe LEH in. She setup on this nice bench area, and I headed off down the road about… Read More »
So, last night in the last 15 minutes of fading light, I’m sitting quietly near a well used game trail, counting the does as they filter through (and wishing something with antlers would show up). About that time, The Wife™ calls me on the radio and says that gunshot I heard about 15 minutes ago… Read More »
(Note: This story was written down by me (Jack) in the 1st person, but this really The Wife(tm)’s story, and I wrote it based on what she told me about how it all went down) A couple times this year before the start of hunting season, we had seen a really, really nice buck hanging… Read More »
We woke up early one day last week, and found it colder than The Wife(tm) wanted to sit out in, but she didn’t want to give up her planned hunting time, so we fired up the truck and went for a drive along some trails down south of here known to hold a very heavy… Read More »
So, early early this morning, long before all the lazy road hunters were up and around, The Wife and I head up into the mountains in search of mulies. Hiking in before daylight, legs burning, we get positioned way up the mountainside looking down on an area we’re almost 100% certain will hold some bucks… Read More »
So, entirely too early this morning, we headed out to go try for my wife to fill her LEH cow elk tag. Bleery eyed and yawning, we hiked in through the wee morning light, and setup near a promising looking game trail that had fairly fresh elk sign on it. Got super still, and waited.… Read More »
About a week ago, I found a nice little area about 3km from home. Big buck sign everywhere; scrape lines, rub lines, tracks, etc. The Wife ™ and I had managed to put in a few part-day’s hunting for him, but just a few hours here and there as scheduling allowed. Wednesday however, we had… Read More »
