I was at Ft. Riley for a week while in HS ROTC. Nothing memorable about the fort except we got to shoot and qualify with just about every infantry weapon in the US Army at the time. M-1, M-1 Carbine, M-2 Carbine (full auto baby), M-14, B.A.R. (the Beast) and .30 Cal. Machine Gun. The target for the .30 Cal was only about 30 yards away but my takeaway was you don't fire a machine gun for accuracy, it's to let the enemy know you have one. Couldn't hit shit with it while qualifying with everything else. Good times.

Spray and pray baby! Send those freedom seeds down range!

Glen elder is a fun place to fish. A good friend of mine who frequents the lake and is an avid fisherman had his boat get swamped at the dock a couple weeks ago. He’s lucky as he barley even made it back in time to tie up.

In the rare years it gets cold enough in Kansas to have good ice - that lake is absolute fire for crappie. And no one in Kansas knows how to ice fish so ‘usually’ you get the lake to yourself too.

Pulling into Juneau this morning. Even the mountain snows look like bull elk. Zoom in on the peak. I kid you not - it looks like a bull elk.

Don't be discouraged by the atmosphere or the building.

SOLD! But first, a week hike up the Mendenhall Glacier. Debarking in the next 1/2 hour.

If that’s not a sign from the hunting gods to make that hike, I don’t know what is.

Did you mean weak hike? Like an easy stroll hour or so down the road?

Weed hike?

Weed hike?

That would also make sense to me.

Weed hike?

That would have been nice. It was supposed to say “wee” hike. It was 5 1/2 hours we set a pretty torrid pace. Beautiful area, though. I’m glad we did the hike. Time for some crab legs, then an overnight cruise to our next stop.

I was amazed at how many people were keeping them at Willow…also I got one silver. I might as well have had a 15 inch penis at the filet table the way those mongrels stared.

For context, pinks are usually canned because of how bony they are. A silver is a coho salmon.

I grew up in Beatrice but did most of my hunting around Diller or Friend.

When did you graduate high school…or when should you have?

Sweet little baby deer. Do better Sean.

Just my normal annual plea for sandhill mule deer land connections.

If anyone knows an old farmer, or anyone with land with a healthy population of mule deer and are open to letting a couple bow hunters use it, my brother and I are happy to help with odd jobs/manual labor - he owns a tree service and can help out there too - and we will always leave land better than we found it.
