Here is my 2019 season in pictures . Happy New Years to all and may 2020 be your best year yet!! Hunter
Archery season closes here January 15 . Always like a blood trail in the snow!
And predator management is always important
Nice looking pelt on that guy.
Soon it was steelhead time . Mid February seems to be the best time for me. Family birthday trip this year. Good times
As I get older . Turned 40 on this trip. The more I enjoy sitting around the fire.
Sometimes after the 58 rock you have to have a small talk.
Nothing like a early morning fire on the river with the boys.
Hunt- Your'e doing it right my friend.
Me and Roger have been hunting and fishing partners for over 20 years. Good partners are hard to come by .
Winter indoor is always a good thing!
Winter was a long one this year at my house. March 15
Last day of turkey season this year. Dog cornered this guy, I put it up in a tree to dry out. Hope to have a future close encounter with him in a few years.
Now we are talkin! Bring it on!

First day I bow hunted deer season, the next day after the turkey season closed. Passed up this button. It may lead to a close encounter someday too. Ended up taking one shot at a jake, and one shot at a doe, both on the last days of their respective bow seasons. Missed by an inch on both ones - as good as a mile though. Still a pretty good season. Saw some cool stuff.
Pastrami and corn venison. And a cold Guinness for Saint Paddy’s day
Soon it was spring. The youth turkey hunt is one of my favorites
These boys don’t mess around! Bird number one.
This is living my friends
Bird number 3 closing in!
Ridge was sleeping in my arms. I was all smiles and Mason was all business
Matt aka SBH here on Bowsite is raising his boys right and I am proud to call them all friends..
Spring training on a rainy day
In his 3 year bowhunting now. My Brother in-law Cam is getting the hang of it!
This makes my heart full.
Someone likes his new 22.
Little beach time never hurts a man!
End of May . Me , Cam and Roger head to Nebraska . Bow fishing with the best in the business .
To say we had a blast in 3 days would be a understatement !
We enjoyed fresh fish each night with lots of laughs.. and maybe a little whiskey also.
Uncle Roger on a meat mission
Cam got the hang of it. Well once Beav gave him Ron Jermery .
Like all good things it was over way to fast!!
June is bear time. I have a great helper these days. Paying his dues years in advance .
Scoot and his son Ryan in the tree and ready. Great to meet these guys and look forward to this years adventure with them.
Summer time camping and 3D archery ! Always a blast with family and friends
Love me some live music ! Eric Church at the Gorge was a good one!
Ridge is getting the hang of this fishing thing.
And he is not to bad at rowing either
We do a couple over night trips on the river.
Mid August means antelope time. I made a great shot on this antelope on a windy rainy day.
Jace with his best archery antelope yet!
A good start to the Fall season.
Sometimes 4 arrows is not enough !! Right Zak?
On last trip to the lake for Labor Day weekend
Could this be a sign of good things to come?
A quick elk trip . Cam is ready .
Lots of close calls. No shots fired.
Alaska moose ! We will save this for it own thread:)
Cam with his first archery bull!
I made a great stalk on this buck. Only to mess up a chip shot . It is good to be humbled sometimes.
Cam and Ridge with Cams first archery mule deer
Idaho youth deer hunt . We had a blast
Hammertime
Hammertime
The next day another happy young man. Proud of these boys!!
The boys walking out with the hunters moon rising!
I played cat and mouse with this buck for a few hours . Until he made a mistake.
I was able to watch my buddy Scott kill a late season bull out of the blind on a cold October evening
Awesome thread Hunt. You’ve got great taste in bourbon as well:)
Looks like a great year. Thanks for sharing
We found this buck bedded one evening . Roger liked him so we made a move!!
Roger made a great shot with his Dads rifle .
I would like to know The story of how this got here.
Good stuff man. Congrats on another great year! Happy New Year.
Roger is all ways down for a meat mission.
Always have enjoyed cutting my own meat!
Deer drives with the boys
Great pics and an awesome family!
I found out on my first late season elk hunt that I like September for elk:)
But I found if you let this guy hold your gun. Good things happen.
Home in time for turkey !!
Cam with a heavy Montana whitetail . His Mentor is very happy . Mission complete . You are a bowhunter now brother!!
Uncle Trevor came down to Visit for a few days in December . Always a good time
Uncle Roger did not want to be left out!

Hunter,
I love following your posts. Looks like a great season and it's not too long before 2020 season is underway.
It's really too bad for Roger though. Judging by the younger pic of you two he got ugly really early in life. lol
Good luck next year
