    Road trip to pay to play

    It’s been 20 years since I fished that place. I was the guest of a friend and it was a good time.

    Croks weigh ounces…wet hiking boots suck. I do 25-50 mile hunts every spring! Every ounce is critical when you’re going that far. I wouldn’t dream of leaving the trailhead without Croks and I change into them if I have to cross water that would soak my boots. Wet sock and boots will wreck your...

    Got any bird pics?

    Man…I have been trying to sneak close to a Drake Woody all spring. I don’t have a long lens yet so I have to be crafty. I finally got what I was after. Unfortunately I didn’t have much light left.

    N. Idaho

    It’s that time of year again in N. Idaho. My annual fishing trip with my favorite basketball coach. This year he brought another coach with him, a football coach, that made it even more fun for me. We didn’t catch as many fish as we typically do on this trip but the quality was above average. We...

    wolves...

    Right…always heard that too but all ungulate herds have decreased dramatically since the re-introduction and we didn’t have overpopulation anywhere that hunting is allowed.

    wolves...

    I’m still waiting for someone to explain how nature is, measurably or noticeably improved by wolves returning. I like the idea of them being around but I don’t know that that means anything has improved other than that.

    It’s awesome to get your kids going early! I Love the pics and believed you! But, I was really hoping you were also taking a shot at Euro Nymphing at the same time😂.

    My old bow hunting partner and I came to this conclusion at separate times. We would hunt as many times as we possibly could, even if it was only for a few hours, and many of those hunts were only a few hours. We did that together for years. About 10 years ago he decided he was going to trade...

    wolves...

    I think wolves are awesome! I spend a lot of time where they live. I have seen them, I even have one in my house. I brought it home from AK 25 years ago. Hunting big game is by far my favorite thing to do. I have orchestrated my life around it. I have been on the earth long enough to remember...

    wolves...

    That’s just not true! First of all, WA has a shit ton of wolves already…I was getting pictures of wolves on trail cameras 15 years ago…in WA. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming all have an open season on wolves and they are never going to be slaughtered. Hunting and killing a wolf is THE biggest...

    Morel Mission

    Got out to hunt Morels this weekend. I’m still learning how to use this new macro lens (shit and my camera for that matter) but it’s fun trying.

    Got any bird pics?

    He was at the end range of the lens I had. I wish I’d had a little more horse power.

    I took a 10 year break from fly fishing. I never thought it would happen but the derby bug got me like a heroin addiction. I gave away all of my fly tying materials and tools (deeply regret that) as I was convinced my life would forever revolve around fast boats and bass. I sold my Skeeter in...

    Taking Strangers Fishing, Yay or Nay?

    I have met and become great friends with a few guys that I met via chat board back in my bass fishing days. I don’t think I would have ever offered to take a stranger but bass fishing is something that requires a boat so not many guys need a ride. I would likely fish with most of you jokers...

    Solo fishing

    I like to fish with friends, but more than anything, I like to fish. If I've decided to go, I'm going regardless. Same deal with hunting. I have been doing this since before I got a derivers license. I've never considered not going based on accompaniment. I read where some guys have set some...

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    You and I might be the same person...other than the dislike for working out. I just turned 51 this month, I'm an ex-hooper, I have been in a perpetual state of sweatiness since I was born and have dealt with cramping as well. After a long hike my shirt and hat have very distinct salt lines...
