Beautiful additions to the pictorial. Engineer Mt. looks like a painting!

I like your list. It hit me some time ago why do they make all these “day” packs with 57+++ compartments? To put all the crap they think you need and want to sell you in. Takes the joy right out of getting up and going if you have to search for all that stuff that you never use too. I don’t hate treestands, but since I gave them up to be more mobile – and by far that’s why I started hunting – to explore – more than just sit (of which I do plenty too), it’s been a joy not dragging those along also. Less is more when it comes to stuff:D

I’m happy as a clam at high tide with just taking some good fall pics every year anymore. But, I think the Blue Moon is rising and it’s time to ask the Patron Saint of Meat for a Blessing:D I’m so overdue it ain’t funny! Enjoy the day.

Love the pics. I’d forgotten that the elk opener out there is in August. Has been upper 80’s here and humid so hunting less on my mind than with the cooler weather to come. Good to see the action starting.

Good to hear he’s still making some noise:D. I kind of picture Dave like that last scene in Legends of the Fall – the Grizzly being the attack on the natural world we are all witnessing and Dave out there with his Bowie making it hurt. Good for him!

That’s a wordly work of art there. Nicely done.

I’ve always shot with the bow a bit canted I guess. It simply helps keep the arrow on the shelf for me. I’ve shot for a lifetime, and now and then if I go straight upright, once in a while be it string twist, shelf design or whatever, the arrow falls off the shelf when I draw back. I cant, but I will:wink:

Kinda re-read my own comment and I can see where on the surface it sounds like a PETA statement. I ain’t that guy:oops:!!!!

I want to offer one (of many) thought I had about the film….it’s refreshingly not “human centric”. The film is what I hope to be another ray of light in a huge door kicking – that, IMHO, we SHARE this planet with other life no less valuable in the end than our own.

Honest post. If you’re not feelin’ it, you don’t have to force it. I’m getting that way with my morning hunts…less and less I want to get up earlier than I do to go to work:D Enjoy what you have going on and there’s still time to limber up and shoot well if you want.

How about bad cuts from broadheads? I never was so unlucky, but had a classmate drive one right through his palm and out the other side.

I’ve watched it twice already. What a tribute to the soul of what is certainly more than a sport to most of us. You have captured The Happy Hunting Grounds of my mind. Thank you so much.

Critchs’ story reminded me of an Uncle showing me an arrow stuck in the side of a house back in the 70’s. Story was some Bozo had seen a deer on this lawn after dark, shot, and missed. He knew some characters, I can say that. Not reccomended.
