I live in southeast Idaho and own a cabin near the Montana/Wyoming border, in the heart of some serious big game country and blue ribbon trout fishing. I spend most of September chasing elk with a bow, and enjoy steelhead fishing, bear hunting, and turkey hunting in the spring.
Just wanted to stop by and say a “BIG HELLO”. Hope your week has been a good one and that it end even better. I have been very busy here in my little world and very sorry I haven't stop by to say hello sooner. I will be having even a busier weekend, our muzzle season starts this weekend and I will be attending an over the hill birthday part Saturday. The only bad thing about the birthday party is that I am the honer guest...Yes that's right I will be turning 50ty Saturday and they are finding it to be funny HA HA. Wishing you a great hump day and even a better Weekend....Hugzs Susan
Don't think you are gonna get your wish about the Pats, although I would also like to see Tommy get whacked around a few times!!! Glad to see the Cowboys go down too.
I did get my wish! ...only by 1 point...but they still lost. WHAT A GREAT DAY IN THE NFL!!!
Nice bucks for you and your dad. I think he might have you beat, Wolfman !!! I still have one more weekend to hunt, then I am ready for some down time myself. I started elk hunting on August 30th.
Ya, I think he does!! Good luck to ya this last week. The down time is nice, for about two weeks and then I'm ready to go hunting again!!
well went back to that spot hunted sunrise to sun set.. saw 6 bucks 2 that were shooters. but not the one i missed. had both the shooters in range just couldn't close the deal. got a black cloud looming over my head this bow season.
Stick with it. I am still hunting and I started on August 30th. Every time I go out I keep thinking, this might be the day

I truly believe you can get kids into the sport at that age. Glad you took him out. Good luck, and remember, nothing wrong with shooting that pig with a rifle when the time comes!!!

Nice gallery!! Are the steelhead like trout? And that Moose you got is nice..Thank you for the friend request..Live in a great part of the country for hunting and fishing..
Thank you. Steelhead are rainbow trout that are born in fresh water, then swim to the ocean to live for 2 or 3 years before returning to the stream of their birth to spawn. These fish have traveled nearly 800 miles to the area I fish for them. They are remarkable.

Go back there and kill him tomorrow evening!
i gotta work tommorrow but i will be there sunrise to sunset friday... mid to high 160's. which is a giant for this area
That is a giant in my book. Good luck!
iwent back had that buck at 15 yards and hit a small baugh deflected the arrow and of course it missed the target. i have never seen a buck like this and prob never will again. he was even bigger then i originally thought absolute monster. made me sick to see that buck walk away.
Oh, man, that sucks. I know the feeling. If I were you I would not give completely up on him. You never know when he will drop his guard in pursuit of a doe. Obviously it won't be easy, but still possible. Good luck. Keep me posted.
i am going to give that spot a try again in the morning/all day if i have to. gonna bring in a doe decoy and estrous deer piss and we will see what happens.
Good luck, my man. Send me a report.
Thank you! I am training and I have seen it done all three ways...just wandering which is best. That seems to be the answer most are giving. Again, thank you!!
