2019 Season: "It's not that bad guys, it only hurts if I walk on it"

[Karl Blanchard]

2019 has been an interesting year. Started off with a successful winter mountain goat hunt with my baby brother, followed by a decent draw season, and a rough start to fall.

Mid August found me exploring some new haunts in Idaho. A big ooops left me with a broken foot and a really crappy hike out. I've been babying it like crazy and trying to get it healed but turns out I'm not a good healer, or I don't follow doctor instructions well? Not sure, I wasnt paying very good attention to him

Lot on the schedule this year. Idaho deer, slowing JonathanS down on his bull tag, slowing my little brother down on his Idaho elk tag, more Idaho deer, my daughters cow tag, her late whitetail tag, CO deer (and maybe elk), my nephews deer permit, and finish off the season with my daughters late youth tag in ID. Few hunts are already knocked out and I've got pics to come so standby for more

Evil would have just jumped it.

Could have done without the last one.

How did you manage to break all 3 of your foot?

Thats a lot of hunting btw.

  I'm still trying to figure that one out too!!!! I rebroke the joint in my big toe on my brothers elk hunt so technically it's a 2 foot so far. Season is young, I may just make it to 3

Damn, that looks painful! Where do y'all do late Whitetail? Not specific of course, but buddies and I are always up in the Gifford/Hunters neck of the woods.

I let her piggy back on my buck points and we drew late palouse. Way over kill on points but worth it for her to get a good chance at a good buck. And by good I mean legal

First hunt of the year was February up in Alaska.  Here is a link to the hunt. Too lazy to go over it again. Long story short, cold, windy, snow, rainy, hairy goats, sourdough pancakes

 . It hurts to just jam a toe that must been excruciating! Some great bucks
Looks like a jammed packed season should be a blast!

Sweet season for you. And look at that goat in the top picture. He's smiling!

Awesome pics minus the foot. I stubbed a baby toe the other day and about had to hit the SOS button on my inreach while i was in my garage.

You need better boots... should of blown a knee long before breaking a foot ...

  I thought Hobbits were just fairy tales from a movie, I didn't know they actually existed.

Him being a Hobbit actually explains somethings.

[elkrack]

Hobbits was the first thought that came to mind when I saw that picture of the foot

[Dan-o]

Dang.

If it still looks like that I might have been able to keep up with you last weekend.
