Scary!!!!Tornado chased our group off the land today! Crazy out here!
Whoa and I thought snakes and blue green algae were the worst things I’d find.Tornado chased our group off the land today! Crazy out here!
Yeah I've seen out of state hunters in very remote places.The last 5 years.Its because of modern technology.And then the internet, youtube, podcasts, covid, etc. happened...
Man you had a long time with him… unfortunately I only had five years to hunt with my father before he died in 83. He definitely planted the seed before he left. I think of him often when I get out, especially when my boys can go with me. I have tried to honor him by keeping it alive in them, but I’m afraid it might die with me. Glad you’re getting into some birds. I will be making the long journey a month from today.Took my almost 8 month old pup out solo
today…missed the first grouse that flushed in range…doh! Got a hun shortly thereafter, Merle hunted it down in some tall green grass on a fenceline…she was transfixed in one area…but no bird! Til she stuck her head into a hole and pulled it out! Quite lively, killed 2 grouse over her as well, I have a bona fide hunting dog! She’s doing great. We’re done for the day…beautiful out! Great seeing the sun! We just reflected on the 2 pastures we hunted, we moved around 80-90 grouse…funny that we contacted a sizable covey almost back at the vehicles that we just left an hour ago. I no longer rue the day when they get away…I have much respect and reverence for these birds!!! We were done anyway, but my first covey contact was a shit show, but I’m a bad dog handler…my fault. Good to be alive, able to traipse the prairie, share it with good friends, furry and otherwise! Thinking about my dad who passed 9/3/25 at 95.5….got me into this…not a perfect man, haven’t cried yet, nor will I…but thinking about him. Good stuff….![]()
Many years, many decades don’t necessarily equate to meaningful and enjoyable relationships, familial or otherwise…ideally those years could have been great, even good…meh.Man you had a long time with him… unfortunately I only had five years to hunt with my father before he died in 83.

My dad was very flawed, and pretty much a total ass, but I hunted with him for 40 years, and I still bring his old gun out every once in awhile and think about him, and our times out in the prairies of Montana.Many years, many decades don’t necessarily equate to meaningful and enjoyable relationships, familial or otherwise…ideally those years could have been great, even good…meh.
