Outdoors thread

It was a shit show. We pulled off the highway and didn’t see anyone for 6 hours but I was convinced I’d be hand fighting a bear before the day was out, especially when we were hiking through a big raspberry patch.

How did Peter’s creek fish this year?
Oh man.
I’ve been in full project mode and haven’t fished at all.
I’ve been running power to our cabin and other odds and ends.
I’m a disgrace.
 
Anyone ever owned a Canik ?

Good friend has one (allegedly) and really likes it.

I’ve had several of their cheaper, striker fired pistols and they’re fine. For what they are. Reliable. Reasonably cheap. No way I’m paying $1100 for a tricked out Canik, but I’ve never shot the one in your post.
 
I (might) go to my local Vet Owned gun shop this weekend, as they had a diff TTI Canik that I (might have) liked and see if they can get me this one so that I can (allegedly) buy it.

I should clarify, he has a lesser expensive model (allegedly) and is maybe very happy with it, to be clearer.

Going to hunt proghorn Thursday morning in Colorado.
Is the meat worth processing?

My advice: it is usually much warmer when pronghorn hunting than compared to Deer firearm season.

Bring 2 big coolers with ice, get the body on ice right away, whenever you break it down put the parts in the other big cooler with ice.

Unlike deer (or larger animals) you don't really need to quarter in the field to haul it out, they are so small that even walking you can carry them. Also unlike other hunting we always would drive 4 wheelers or side by sides around because you're covering so much ground and its ground that can actually be driven over. Totally different than mountain or forest hunting.

Last time I went pronghorn hunting (October 2019, Gove County KS) it was 96 degrees and I sweated so much I ended up throwing my old hunting boots away because there was no coming back from what I had done to them.
 
Gonna get my first sit in Monday evening with the bow. Won't happen but would really like a velvet buck.
Talked with my son about heading out on Monday. He’s training for the Chicago marathon in October and his regimen has him putting in 15 miles that day.

We kicked it to next weekend. Good luck out there.

Turns out the guys land I was working with and hunting on he has a walking cooler and processes meat. After each kill we rode them back.

Worst part is I’ll have to drive back to Colorado in a month to pick up the meat

I have one. No issues. Haven't shot it much though.
