Haven't been around much lately, kind of switched gears this year and spent more time with my new upland dog I got last year, still managed to hunt ducks about 50 days this past season , shot way more mallards than divers this season as I get to hunt a lot at a private place that is very well...

Hunted the last two weeks of the season darn near every day. The boys and I had some good hunts together, between one still in college and the other working full time (and girlfriends) we don't get enough time to hunt together. Anyway with a bit of window time and finding pockets of birds to...

Spent a day on the water yesterday with good friends Mark Vanderhoof and Chip Thompson. We had lots of action all morning with Cans, Redheads, Scaup, Ringnecks and Widgeon working the decoys very well. It was a great day after a long morning drive in the snow and ice to the boat ramp. Chip...

It's been a busy fall and winter with numerous hunts and trips, here are a few shots from North Dakota and Washington. Spencer and I stared off the fall with a bow hunt in North Dakota mid Sept. I took my new wirehair pup Zu-Zu with me and shot sharptails and doves over her, she is now 18...

Here is a shot of ZU-ZU my new German wirehair, Since dad is a young 85 this year and still wanting to pheasant hunt this season I elected to go with a started dog this time. I got the year old female from Jeff Funke in Idaho 2 weeks ago, I was able to watch the dog work and point several birds...

Yesterday my buddy Larry and I decided that it was time to clean out the old trail to one of my favorite high country mule deer spots so we loaded up the horses and mules, sharpened the chainsaw and headed out. We made good time heading up the mountain, had to cut out about 15 fresh blowdowns...

Butch was my companion and hunting dog for ten years , he had the warmest personality and more heart than any dog I ever owned. His ability to find cripples was second to none. He would hunt all day in the freezing waters of the Columbia Basin and still want to climb in your lap on the boat ride...

Rose and I went to a Mariners game last Friday with a good friend and his son who have great seats at every home game right behind the Mariner dugout, Check out what happens when the batter Kyle Seager loses his bat. Scott's 9 year old son Owen ended up with the bat, he was one excited kid...

Ok,, Jode's post got me motivated to get some pictures up. Lately I have been on a kick to buy a couple ( OK make that three!) older side by sides to play around with shooting blackpowder loads. I have picked up an "O" grade LC Smith and a Remington model 1900 both in 12 Gauge, I also got a...

I had the opportunity to help out a Terminally ill person on an elk hunt last Saturday. The state has a program where they will issue a tag to terminally ill people, one of the best things to come out of the Game dept in a long time. The guy who had set the whole process in motion contacted me...

The boys and I had a couple good days right at the end of the season, the mild ,,, no make that summer like weather we had this season made the hunting tough. While the east coast was getting hammered with snow and wind we were having more like an Indian summer up here. Two nice drakes the...

After much discussion in the boat this winter, (and trust me we had lots of time to talk with how tough the season was at times.) We decided this was the perfect limit when targeting divers. My last diver of the season was a great looking drake Redhead that came screaming down the lines right...

I was able to take a young boy out on his first diver hunt yesterday, Miles is 13 and growing up in the city and never being exposed to hunting until last spring has been tough for him, I met Miles and his dad through a mutual friend and to say this kid is hooked on hunting is an understatement...

Had a good hunt today with a couple buddies, it has finally warmed up enough to get out and hunt a bit, with -18 temps last week the water was no place to be, it was a balmy 11 degrees whe we launched this morning, the Cans worked well today, every drake we shot was worthy of mounting, we also...

Went out for an afternoon hunt with a buddy and had a decent number of mallards work us so we ended up with 14,and all green for the hunt. I took several birds with my new to me Fox side by side that an old friend gave me last summer, it's choked mod-full and it shoots very tight with Remington...

Dad and I made a quick trip to North Dakota to hunt pheasants with a good friend who has some great ground to hunt on. Dad is 84 this year and still loves to get out and hunt, he made several great shots on some high flying roosters that we had pushed towards him on some fence rows and hedges...

Got to open the season the other day with a hunt at a friends place, lots of woodies flying and a few mallards, my first mallard of the season was banded, I sure hope it is a sign of things to come this year, The bird was a local , banded in July about 40 miles away. We really need a change to...

Seems the local news station got it by one of their own employees, they apologized after the fact, I almost spit coffee all over the computer screen when I saw it.
