Only 3 training sessions this week, but they were all horrible... Took the family camping down in souther Idaho and got some Antelope scouting in as well. Looks like my dad and I are going to go for speed goats in Idaho and Montana in a week or so. Should be a blast. Hopefully our scouting pays off big time. The family time logged is extremely critical for me, as I plan on leaving them for several weeks of hunting this fall and I hate missing anything with my kids growing up. My wife is a rockstar.

3 Day Bear hunt this week, left town and took my buddy from Wisconsin out for an Idaho bear. We did end up getting him an opportunity but ultimately we didn't get it done. I kept hunting my 7 foot bear and he "daylighted" twice this week, just at odd times when I was sitting the bait. I think he's super old and disciplined, circling the stand from a long ways off even though I only snuck into the stand with thermals already turned on. I don't think I'll get another crack at him either. Maybe next year Arnold! Monday...
