So far mines been  the complete opposite of success >:(  sick 2 + days :o, dead camper battery :bash:, and then today 6 hours of trying to fix a water system leak in 2 different parking lots :bash: :bash: :bash:.. Back home now from Grays Harbor County and will give the repair one more shot before throwing the towel in.   If so,  may try some local deer/ bear hikes... or fix the boat and chase some bass. 

 :hello: Regardless, good luck folks.  Some good critters so far  :tup:

Nice  :tup:
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

On 21 June, 2025 the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites and, according to the President the Iranian nuclear capability was "obliterated". Now it appears the the US is again preparing military strikes on Iran if they won't agree to abandon their nuclear program that is/was reportedly in ruins?????
Who knew that Obama winning an Nobel Peace Prize would lead to this?

I just got back from round 2 in eastern Oregon and still have a tag in my pocket.  Bulls are very nervous and not bugling much at all.  You might get a few bugles out of them and that is it.  Then found some fresh what appears to be wolf scat that might explain things.

Got this guy to come in to a bugle September 14 last day of my hunt.  I hunted since the opener and they were quiet, and just like that after 4 years I got my first elk.  The wife thinks I scratched that itch but I’m more obsessed now than I ever
