Hanco: I oiled my Danners again today - second time since the "Hunting season" ended. Now they will wait for next September. Big Game Rifles are cleaned and oiled and stowed carefully. Ammo is ready - now I just need a Bighorn Sheep tag! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Well, since I didn't draw a tag, I am planning a caribou/moose hunt with some old co-workers. I'll be getting home from Afghanistan in early August, and will have to hustle to get the rifle sighted in and buy a new trailer for the ATV and UTV. I will also need to buy my license so I can legally hunt as well. For things I can do form here, I am exercising and trying to diet. I am also making a list of supplies I need to take with me depending on where we hunt at exactly. Aside from all of this, in 2 more months I will start applying for new jobs back home in AK. If I can't secure a good paying job, I might find myself right back over here on a new contract next year.

I hunt year around but taking a break until next hog, Axis or Turkey hunt. I went on a knife sharpening binge and my arms are almost hairless, gotta stop doing that. Need to finish two rifles and start load work up. Still waiting on parts for one. Up grading equipment and trying to get the new reloading areas set up from the last move.
What I should do is have a camo yard sale as I have a walk in closet that is almost full. Fortunately where I live now camo is considered suitable to wear to the county commissioners court and other formal functions.

In a few weeks, it will be time to start buying/applying for licenses and permits here in CO.
This year for me, its: Spring Turkey otc Private Land E/S Whitetail, E. CO RFW app, cow elk, E. CO
Got three rifles ready to go, my .280 Rem., .270 WSM, and .300 Wby, all shooting loads at sub-MOA with good bullets, Checked the zero on my turkey shotgun already.
Next week, get the other eye done with Cataract surgery- looking forward to hunting this season with new eyes. Maybe buy some new boots- my 20 YO Keenes are starting to wear out!
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

1. Re-sole boots. 2. Be in better shape. 3. Do some "quick" shooting in the 300-400 yard range that mirrors hunting situations; off the pack, bipod, etc..uphill, downhill, you know the drill. 4. Get in some extra scouting.

I put that thing on a battery trickler my second week home, and the day I left that thing was still dead. I also need to get some new hunting boots.

Really “screwed-up” my back, extreme pain in less than 50 yards. of walking. I gotta get over this, or there won’t be any hunting! memtb

Hammerdown, Thanks, hoping to avoid the knife......again! But, if it has to happen, do it quick. So, I’ll have time to get into some semblance of shape! memtb

Am calling a few critters with an eye out for lion tracks all through the winter, but have moved to a new state and have a couple of preps for next Fall.
I plan to buy a shotgun in order to hunt deer in low country shotgun/bow only areas not far from town, a radical switch from my decades of backpack hunting timberline. It is time. My grandsons are having fun showing me pockets of local deer that they hunt in bow season on days they don't have time to hike to alpine. Also need to put my Rem 700 SS Mountain rifle back in its original stock, re-sight it in, etc. after being in a youth stock while another grandson used it as he grew up. The grandkids are trying to talk me into hunting elk with that 30-6 rifle... and I may. Am thinking a red dot on the shotgun. I liked shooting grouse with a red dot on my .22 rifle.
