    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    Here’s another one: Two of my buddies and I are hunting a thawing small pond on a creek near Centralia. The ducks are going to be flying and they’re going to pour in. It’s very low overcast, about 35 degrees, calm. A buddy shot a duck and I have my Lab out, casting to retrieve the bird. I...

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    Thirty some years ago, I had just moved back to Wash st. I had a memory of someone saying the upper reach of the North Fork of the Tieton River above Clear Lake was great fishing for native cutthroats. Well, I saddled up my truck, put my fly stuff in the cab and headed out. I drove over White...

    I'm retiring - today is my last day

    Congrats! I love people who ask what I do now. I tell them “every day is Saturday and every evening is Friday night. I manage it!”

    Personal Protection

    I’ve been handling firearms since I was seven (under VERY close adult supervision) and have had six different firearm safety courses including two in the Air Force prior to deployment in Vietnam. I’ve lived in five large cities and four smaller ones. I’ve hunted big game and dangerous in four...

    What happened to bird hunting in Yakima?

    This is just sad. I’m sure it’s a function of changes in agriculture plus reduced access to good habitat. Whatever it is, it’s just sad" https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/02522/Prospects_2024_Region%203_District%208.pdf

    Cast and blast

    I used one on an old .30 Mauser in South Africa, absolutely loved it! First 300+ yard shot I’ve ever taken, dropped the animal with one shot, heard the bullet impact. Incredibly smooth shooting, if I were still hunting, I’d have one on every barrel!

    MT in Mid Oct

    Now, Jim said “road construction” was a season. It’s important to note on occasion you may have to stop for construction flag men in Montan. You may wait ten minutes or 25+ minutes before you are released to continue driving. You may or may not see any of the reported construction as you drive...

    Jasper National Park Fire

    I’ve been through Jasper a dozen times heading to northern Alberta goose hunting. It tragic to think of the human borne damage. I also have to think about the bighorn sheep, elk, moose, mountain goats and their young. Tragic all of it.
