A New Dawn!!
Boy it has been a long time since I posted anything, I may just ramble for a few paragraphs then sign out. Last Hunting season was not the best for me, seems like the older my kids get them more my life works in their schedule instead of mine. Chief’s Father always said do as much as you can when you are young because every year it gets harder to go, and sure enough he was right. I just didn’t expect it to start so early. Got the Email notification yesterday that my West River Tags were successful, this after the 3 Elk Tags were unsuccessful, and my Black Hills Deer tag was unsuccessful. So at least we have something going for us, hopefully and Antelope Tag will show up soon. Then I can apply for some left over Whitetail tags and a Muzzleloader tag, I should be able to fill the Freezer with Fajita meat for the winter. Coyote hunting has been my passion for quite some time, but the last couple of winters the snow has been so deep that it’s been hard to get out into the good country to where the Coyotes are. That and every Tom, Dick and Harry with a Sled was running them all over the country. Don’t get me wrong as a Rancher I need to coyote populations thinned out but I would like to be able to get within a days ride of one every once in awhile with a motorized vehicle. Every year Chief and I say we are going to do some filming in September when the Pups are out, but it never happens. I’m hoping this year we get the chance because no telling what the winter will bring. Perhaps the cattle market will hold and I can put some Tracks on my ATV, this would help extend my calling season when the snow gets deep. I’ve got a ton of plans and ideas for the upcoming season, I just hope that they can come to a reality. I’m not having any organized activities, when I try to organize something it turns into work. When I have a free weekend and my friends have a free weekend we will hit it. If it’s just me, then it’s just me. One good thing about being self employed, you don’t have to wait for the weekend, and that is how I’m going to approach the upcoming season.
OK enough rambling, I haven’t been on the NPHA site since March and I’m itching for some coyote killing news so off the blog I go.
Don’t forget, we are going to have the 2011 Fox Ridge Friends of the NRA event on September 30th, in Faith. It will not be to late of an evening so everyone will be able to get up and hunt Antelope the next morning. Come out and support a good cause and perhaps win a gun or some gear for the upcoming hunts.
