Thanks to Brian (Founder) for renewing the HAC for another year. This is a really fun way to share all of our adventures with the MM members or just readers, and lets us practice our skills at photos and story telling ..... Some of these even have a hint of truth about them! :)
Our new year started out in my family with a decision to have both of us retire on our birthdays. Wow, talk about taking some big steps! The wife will be 62 in July and I will be 66 in October. Wanted to have the time to devote to an amazing Fall, and this will do it. Not too sure how all the financial stuff will work out yet, but we will just take it one step at a time. Have a trip planned back East to the PGA golf championship in Northern New Jersey in July, along with seeing the various sights in NYC. I grew up back there, before service in the US Navy and settling in Idaho, but the wife is an Idaho girl and wants to see the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg., and now the 9/11 Memorial. I must admit, that is pretty high on my list now also.
Since the draw results have been rolling in for a little while, everyone can finally start making some plans for the coming hunting season. Lightning struck twice in Arizona this year, what with successfully drawing both antelope and elk tags for Unit 8. Looking forward to a long scouting trip and the full season for the muzzleloader antelope, then back in November for 3 late bull hunts with Predator and my other hunting partner.
I drew a local turkey permit here in Southeast Idaho for the second season, but the birds didn't cooperate and all the rain really set us back. Have to try again another time, I guess. Just starting to get serious about Spring bear hunting, with a muzzleloader and predator calls. Will get out this week end and see how it goes.
We have a bunch of applications still out there with Wyoming deer and antelope, Arizona deer and sheep, and then all of my resident Idaho tags, so I will update the tag count again in a couple more weeks. Good luck to everyone in the coming draws.
