    A reversal

    I’ve got a late season PLO only cow tag, usually when you see them but can’t get to them it’s because they are on private land. These are on public land and need to cross this fence.

    100%

    My trail cam showed they were using the wallow, I knew I had a 100% chance of filling my trophy Dusky Grouse tag if I could just control my cough. I watched a big one come in today but I shot his head off ruining my chance at a record book grouse and ruining my 26 point hunt. An afternoon in...

    A silly Wife dispute

    My Wife has become convinced that the air conditioner blows colder when the vent takes air from the outside. The laws of physics seem to me to mean the air will be colder on recirculate. Am I wrong?

    Riding the Plunge

    The Palisade Plunge that is. It’s a new mountain bike trail coming off the side of Grand Mesa and ending in Palisade, CO. We rode from Shirttail Point so it was only 21 miles with 6000’ down and 2000’ up but it’s a vey tough 21 miles. Great day with friends.

    High Lonesome Gate

    The Wife and I took a drive the other day and passed through ”The Gate” at High Lonesome. There are a bunch of signs that indicate that it is forbidden but the gate is open. One side was swinging and not fastened adding to the illusion tht you shouldn’t drive through. We didn’t drive more...

    The chase was on

    I just chased a raccoon across the backyard in my socks, in a snowstorm, and in the dark. Emptied the ruger standard at him…I’m pretty sure I hit him a couple of times.

    I’m about ready to purchase a Mathews VXR, I’m leaning towards the 28” ATA and I have a 29.5” draw length. Perhaps I should be looking at the VXR with the 31.5” ATA? I’d be interested in your thoughts. I’ve only to able to shoot the 28 so far.
