random stuff 10/27

I just don’t seem to be getting around to blogging much lately.  Not sure why.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been up north a couple times getting deer stands ready and trying to shoot a few grouse.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy geocaching with DeeDee.  Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy trying to figure out [...]

September 2009 Wyoming archery elk hunt

 
This was an archery elk hunt in western Wyoming.  We drove most of the way out one day and then the last 5 hours the next day.  We set up camp and did some scouting the first day there.  It took a while to set up camp.  This was the first year that we had [...]

Zach’s high school football team won again last night
This time they won 13 to 0.  It was a tough game, but the defense shined again.
They are now 10 and 0 and will host Caledonia on Halloween night.  That will be a very tough opponent.  Caledonia is the defending state champion team for our [...]

This is going to be a catch up post on some things that have been going on over the last month.
The place we had Zach’s senior pictures taken gave us a few to use on things like this blog or myspace.
Here they are:

Wyoming mule deer hunt

I’m back from Wyoming.  John and I had a great hunt in our first time hunting western Wyoming.  This would have been a great hunt even if we hadn’t been successful.
We left Minnesota and spent the first night at a motel in Edgemont South Dakota.  I can’t say that it was a good motel, but what [...]

random stuff Sept 14th (mostly hunting related)

This week was more of the same.  Most of what I’m doing is in preparation for the upcoming mule deer hunt.  I’ve been running at least 4 times a week now.  I ran 6 1/2 miles 3 times and am feeling pretty good.  I have also been elliptically 5 mornings a week for 50 minutes.  I also [...]

getting ready for Wyoming mule deer hunt

My hunting buddy John and I got drawn to hunt for mule deer in western Wyoming this year.  It will be a high mountain hunt.  Our camp will be at about 7000 feet and we plan to hunt from 8500 to 11,000 feet.  We will be hunting with Greys River Trophies.  I did a ton [...]

trail camera

Last Christmas one of the things I got was a trail camera.  OK, I might have picked it out
I put it out last Sunday in a spot near where we hunt in northern Minnesota.  I put some deer cane down as an attractant.  Four days later my Dad went to the camera and [...]

4/21/2008 Turkey hunting

I started my walk to my blind at 5:00 AM.  There was almost a full moon to the west shining on me.  It seemed really bright out and I was wishing I had started a little earlier.  It took me only about 10 minutes to get to my blind.  Before I was even there I heard [...]
