Thanks, all... I certainly appreciate the support/encouragement! I'd continue to have the adventures, I may just not have shared them anymore if the folks on this site weren't so neat.

By the way, LOTS of wolf activity, but no tags filled. The hunters we ran into had seen two the previous day but didn't have tags.  :bash:
Every direction from camp had sign/sightings. The last day we were there, they were howling less than .5 miles from our tent an hour before daylight for almost 45 minutes. If we hadn't been so bushed (we SHOULD HAVE anyways  :bash:) we might have had one more adventure to talk about. Low, melodic rumblings; the closest one was crystal clear; no terrain features blocking him... the others (2-4 it sounded like) were slightly muffled. I would have liked to muffle them permanently.  :chuckle: It wasn't in the cards this trip... someday I'll help with the predator count.. especially if they continue to thrive like they have in that area.

 :yeah:  X's 2  I've been debating an ID trip to get me a headdress but then I'm also waiting in anticipation here as well.....someday soon....... :chuckle:  Great write-up and nice bucks congrats. :tup:

I think I'm making a hunting trip back over in December specifically to try to fill my wolf tag. I'd love to line some gloves or a hat with some wolf fur.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Hirshey, the stories of your hunts are great and an inspiration i am sure to hunters and huntress that read them.
As i read them and i am sure others will agree, i can envision what you are going through at that time, the let downs, the exhaustion, the acomplishment and also the humor.
Great job....
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

That's awesome ... you may want to write a book on your adventures  :dunno: Good read for a guy up at 3:30 waiting to go hunting  :tup:

Thanks! May your trip be equally as thrilling! Can't wait to see your big buck down!  :tup:
That did not happen  :chuckle: I was taking my friends kid out hunting ..Well it rained so hard we gave up ..plus the fog killed our hunt real quick like ...hopefully before the weekend is up he can pop one ...

Thanks for sharing!!!

It's top class for sure.




I may get in trouble for saying this but what I find remarkable is your mom!  Did she have you when she was 7?  :chuckle: I thought she was a friend of yours.  Glad you don't just exist and that you indeed know how to live!

Congrats!

Thanks! I do have a pretty amazing mother.. We have a great relationship and I'm incredibly fortunate to call her a friend AND a mom. Add in that she can hike with the best of them and we're pretty bomb-proof together. :)
