pheasants in South Dakota. On our way home as I text.

but a black bear hunt soon would make me very happy.
Would use either my .44 magnum or my .454 Casull.

Around the 1st of December. A friend lives on a thousand acres south of Abilene and I plan on heading up there with the .41 Magnum and a backup gun for just in case. Not sure if I will take the .44 Special or the .357 Magnum. Maybe I will take both!

Doug just loved Alaska. My battery of long guns go mostly unused (.338 and .416). We have even talked over some guided "bird" hunts with shotguns for something more pampering and different.

I still have a desire to take Pronghorn with a handgun. My 7mm GNR, .378 GNR (cheating a bit), .256 Falcon, .240 Raptor all are more than up to the task. I only have to choose a good bullet and point the thing.

I’m up for the next African adventure

Here ya go!

Texas Axis booked for June

Free range nilgai is high on the list

For hogs and deer. I have enough points to do both. But it won’t be till next fall/ winter. I really like doing a solo hunt over a few days. I like doing all my own cooking, and camping. Cleaning and butchering the game. Solo time in the woods. Make you feel young again

coyotes are at the top of my list. I’ve seen a significant drop in the number of deer on our farm here in PA this year and several of the neighboring farms are seeing the same thing. Last week one of the neighbors saw a young deer being chased by a coyote late in the evening while he was archery hunting. Yesterday I watched a young buck walking along the edge of our woods and about 15 minutes later a coyote was on his trail. Too far for me to stick an arrow in. My oldest son shot a female coyote last week and set up a trap line this week. I just pulled my old .22-250 Ackley Improved out of the safe and plan on doing my part to thin out the coyote population around our place....the other farmers and their kids are going to do likewise.

fall hopefully.

Its close, I can drive to it. Just need to make a couple of calls soon and get a date set.

I recently went in my first elk hunt. I have waited 26 years to go. I saw over 100 elk, but only one on public land An illegal spike 223 yards, all the rest were over the fence on private. Public land DIY, in Colorado. I did the best I could but came home with nothing. Maybe sometime I can go again.

At least dear. then that Fisher Cat or 2 around my property. Pete

I like to get this Fisher cat. That Sucker keeps us up all night.
Screaming. Sounds like a baby . Hopefully when season opens, I get my shot. Pete
