Yes I realize I haven't posted anything for quite a while. To say that school has kept me busy this last year is a major understatement. It has just zapped every ounce of blogging energy out of me. But I'm graduating very soon and already feel the freedom, along with the desire to start posting again. Despite surrendering my life to my education, I actually did get outside for a few days this last year. Here is a quick catch up of a few things since I last posted.
I was able to shoot a whitetail doe with my traditional style muzzleloader on new year's eve. I thought it was a good shot, but I trailed her for a quarter mile in fresh snow and she just stopped bleeding. Maybe I'll meet up with her again this fall.
And hunted turkeys a couple nights after class, but the only thing I got close to was this:
While home on vacation I spent a couple nights in the Uintas backpacking with family.
I also revisited an old tradition of catching monster trout in box canyon on stonefly nymphs, only this time it was in the middle of a hail storm. I think I could live and die in that river and be happy.
While on vacation Chris and Jake and I wet a few flies on one of my new favorite trout streams:
I'm excited for this fall because not only am I going to have stuff to post about, but I'll have the time and energy to do it. For example, a week or two ago I got a few good pictures off of my trail camera. A couple of bucks (albeit small) on land that I can hunt have already got my blood pumping.
What do you think, should I fling an arrow at this little guy if I see him while the season is open?
