2016 Season

At the time of this writing I have a handful of days left on my late season archery deer tag in my home state of WA. I have been out enough to kill a big buck, problem is though I have not seen a mature deer during daylight hours. The rut here didn't spill over into late archery like it usually does so conditions have been tough. I will put a few more hunts in here and there, but it may come down to stroking a doe. In fact, I had an anterless tag for late season and stroked a doe yesterday while sitting in a mountain tree stand from dark to dark. The spot is so remote that I quartered the deer up there and hiked it out on my back. Spring bear kicked my ass this year. I stuck a big bear and had wolves recover it before I could...you can't make this stuff up. Then I stroked a really big bear and made a horrible shot through "no-man's" land so that bear lived. Fall was epic killing my first and probably last once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat in Utah on September 12th. Two days later I killed my the first bull in Idaho. Then a few days later I killed a good second bull on my dad's 60th birthday in Idaho. Finally, I drove to Arizona for late season elk and did the impossible and killed a great bull on my last day down there. It's a rollercoaster ride and that's why I live to bowhunt. Now onto the off-season which means ramping up CrossFit and indoor shooting. Monday 11/28/2016 1. Power Snatch Doubles #125,125,134,145,155,165,145 2. Split Jerk Doubles #135,165,185,205,225,205 3.
