About Me

With no chance for success, you would not hunt. Without the prospect of failure hunting would have no merit. I don't hunt to kill, I kill because I hunt. Remember a moderate hit is lots more effective than a high powered miss. Best of luck.

WORK GETS IN THE WAY OF HAVING FUN

You won't believe it, but work does get in the way of having fun. I am trying keep this house  construction going and haven't had time to go hunt anything for weeks.  I haven't even been able to go target shooting.  I am worried my chizzler harvesting skills are deteriorating at a rapid rate.  I am concerned my rifle barrel is getting 'moldy' through non-use.  I am just depressed about it all.  I envision the chizzlers in Iron County multiplying and replenishing themselves in the farmer's fields to the level of no or hardly no alfalfa to harvest.  {Agriculture is such a hard way to make a dollar.}

I need to do my job and thin the chizzler herd.  Bounty Hunter 6 didn't help the situation one bit when he went off to California to work fighting fire also.  Heck, let it burn.  All the medical marijuana growing in the foothills will just add a pleasant layer to the pollution in Cali.  I hesitate to go hunting alone but can do it.  I really don't know of anyone that is hunting the little profit eaters right now.  I hope to get this house thing under control and go North to do my duty for my friends the farmers.

I haven't even had time to take any photos lately.  I am on the job at 7:00 a.m. and completely worn out by 2:00 p.m.  The heat is really hard on an old man like me. 










I look forward to weeks to come when I can leave home base in the early a.m. and go hunt in Iron County then return home to work on the house project at 10 -- 11:00 a.m.

P.S. I did draw a buck deer rifle tag for the Pine Valley, Utah unit this fall.  I came in the mail last week and I am glad to have something to look forward to this October.  Maybe I will have to take the old bear killer .30-06 and go on another trophy jackrabbit hunt to practice up in September?
