    The time has come- I "got" a dog (pics added)

    I couldn't disagree more with the comment That you get what you pay for when it comes to a pure bread dog! As a matter of fact I would argue that most pure bred dogs have more health issues than a good old mutt. I have had over 1000 dogs and all my best dogs were cross breeds. On a side note, I would not recommend a hound if you do not intent to hunt it often! A good lab/ equivalent would make a great family pet.... Best of luck

    I have the same truck (07). At least once a week someone asks if i want to sell it!!! It will sell. I love when guys tell another guy that you are asking too much $. " if it is too much for you" don't buy it! And " cash price" is another classic ? Whitey

    Another " bow hunter" Lion

    Not much of a story but,....., This lion was glassed up on Saturday morning by a friend of a friends friends friend. I was up archery deer hunting and got the text that a lion had been seen. I asked my 12 and 14 year old sons if they wanted to continue stalking the two bucks we were on, or go catch a lion? Surprise surprise they chose the lion. A couple of hours later we met up with the guys that had glassed the lion and a friend with some good dirt dogs.. The dogs were hiked in to the approximate spot the lion had last been seen and the race was on. About a four mile round trip, easy as far as lion hunts go, but it ended with a very happy deer hunter ( sorry don't remember the name) and a couple of kids that thought the whole thing was very cool. Good memories made by all!!! Now back to deer hunting.... Enjoy Whitey

    Another " bow hunter" Lion

    Sounds easy doesn't Brad! Lol. The lion was glassed at 1000 yards and watched for a few minutes before disappearing over a mountain. Dogs were the only high % way.

  21. This hunt started with a long discussion about the "right" way to hunt elk with my 13 year old son! He has a friend who's Dad took him cow elk hunting, and they harvested a cow while driving around in a pick- up truck with a loaded gun..... Needless to say, we did not. Wednesday morning before the hunt found us packed into a wilderness area glassing into some pretty nasty canyons. We were fortunate enough to find 16 bulls in one spot. My son asked a very insightful question. " Dad, how are we going to get down there on opening day?" I answered with an equally insightful responce....." I don't know" We checked several other areas to hunt but did not turn up the quality of bulls... Opening day found myself, two friends, and my son glassing off into the same canyon. We glassed four Bulls in the first five minutes; off we went. After a very sketchy climb down we were 770 yards from the Bulls. My son begged to shoot from there, but I opted against it.we watched as the Bulls fed out of range and up onto a very thick cedar flat, and out of our lives forever. We decided to wait it out and see if the Bulls came back that afternoon. After a 12 mile hike ( gps miles) and a 13 hour day, we got picked up in the bottom, as there was no way we could hike out in the dark! To say my 13 year old was spent would be the understatement of the century. Day two found us at another trail head, and hiking into the wilderness area at 5 am. But this time it was only about a mile hike in. We glassed two small groups of cows and spikes, but no shooter Bulls. At approximately 8 am I glassed a 6/6 bull across canyon at 550 yards. I told my son Ethan it was up to him if he wanted to shoot the bull or not. He said, " Dad, after yesterday I definately want that bull!" The bull stopped broadside, at 487 yards. After a couple attempts to see the bull in the scope Ethan finally said, " ok, I have him.... What cross hair do I use?" I instructed to hold for 500 and no wind.... His first shot from my 300 win connected, and a second shot was fired to follow up as he was taught to always shoot twice on an elk. The bull ran 30 yards closer and laid down. After a couple minutes of regrouping, and watching the bull we decided one final shot was needed to assure this bull in the bag. At 450 on the nose Ethan made that final shot. It took the four of us one trip, and about an hour and a half to get the bull packed up to the trail head! Great time/ great memories/ happy kid!!!!! Thanks for reading Not the 370 we were looking for, or the 340 bull that we glassed, but a great first bull for a kid! Whitey
