Second weekend of youth season, I had a moody 15 year old, that suddenly didn't want to go hunting. I reminded him, that because he was mad at me for something, and he was choosing to take away something that we both enjoyed. He finally changed his mind, and his attitude changed right along...

This is the first year that the kids have not been playing soccer, so weekends are a little more open to hunt. Misha was up the first weekend. The first morning, I always like to have a little extra time to make sure I have everything ready to go. We were on stand by 6 for a 6:33 opening, so...

Kids had some time off school Oct 21-23, so I headed to the farm to see what I could find. Disappointed that it wasnt' a week earlier, so I could get my youngest a chance to fill his youth tag during Early MZ. Monday AM was just a fun pre-rut morning in the woods. Hit the antlers a bit, and...

Last weekend I had my youngest out and just didn't have much moving around. Saw a doe and fawn, but the doe was out of range for him. This weekend it was my older son's turn. He's 14, so this is his next to last year hunting youth season. I really enjoyed the time in the stand with him this...

Got back from a pretty stellar trip to Alaska. We fished a couple of days. First days water was supposed to be pretty rough where they normally fish Halibut, so captain found an out of the wind spot. Limited on Silver Salmon in just over an hour and 30 minutes. Then went after some Halibut in...

This fall has been a blast. Got to see both boys successful during youth season. Had a couple of great encounters with my older son. He'll remember those sits for a long time, even though he didnt harvest those deer. Both boys made great ethical shots. Deer we're dead on their feet. Shot...

Went to the farm Friday night for a Saturday hunt. We had to go home Saturday night as I needed to take my wife to the airport Sunday morning. Saturday morning, was a dead sit. Nothing was moving at all. We took a break and went back out about 4 pm. I wanted to get to a stand that was...

My youngest(Misha)(10), decided he didn't want to hunt last year after harvesting a doe the year before. He'd made a perfect shot on the deer, but didn't understand that she may run off, even when shot correctly. He thought she was suffering when she ran like that and didn't want to wound an...

Looking for a used youth bow for my 10 year old son as a Christmas gift. He's starting to express some interest in learning how to shoot the bow, so I want to get him excited about it. Looking to find one that will adjust in Weight and Length as he grows for the next few years. I'm in between...

This is long, but I just like writing down the story. Skip to the end if you’re just in it for the pictures! I had a couple of vacation days planned, and Thursday/Friday No v2/3 ended up being the days that worked out around a weekend. It was maybe a little earlier in the rut than I’d have...
