Raw Notes From The Field
75 degrees, sunny and a few big puffy clouds. pretty much chamber of commerce weather which means the hot stuff is just around the corner and the snow birds are headed for home. however, there is always one last good storm before summer. in the mean time, it is shorts, t-shirts and trail runners for valley dwellers. speaking of trail runners, these are the Cascadia 5 trail running shoes from brooks. I love my Cascadia 3s which were an equally obnoxious nebraska red but they were a little soft for anything but rock free paths. these have a thicker sole and more padding.
- happy b-day tk. now two of my three chitlins are teenagers. i am getting old
- i finally put ranger down. couldn't prolong it anymore. wasn't fair to him. everybody deserves one truly great dog in their life and he was mine. so long my friend
- not entirely sure how we did it but are working on some big deals. trucks, atvs, sat phones, tire companies etc. we'll see how things go but rest assured that i will stick to the same principles that got us to this point.
- which reminds me. watch out for the imitators. their hearts are not in this. they have no passion for this. it is strictly business to them. a means to an end. they will wear and recommend whatever they get for free. madison avenue cut outs and phonies
- how many hunting shows are there on cable tv anyway? not many good ones as far as i can tell. golf carting to your heated elevated blind with your ridiculously outfitted chic sidekick to wait 15 minutes for the big one, that your cellular phone equipped trail camera called you about yesterday, to wander through your carefully groomed and cultivated food plot is not what I call hunting. neither is paying for a scouting report complete with photos and gps locations. what's next, aerial drone heat seeking gun ships remote controlled from your strato lounger and valet cleaning/butchering service
- big magnetic storm going on right now. hope all of you that have become dependent on your gps receiver remember what a map and compass are and still know how to use them. that is assuming that you learned how in the first place
- brooks cascadia are working pretty good especially with the smartwool walking mid socks which are the greatest thin socks ever made. can't wear them out
- could someone please tell me why spectators at augusta were clapping for tiger woods today even before he hit the ball? pathetically starstruck and impressed by celebrity to the point of soiling yourselves is no way to go through life people. and another thing, if michael jordan could sink a clutch free throw while 10s of thousands of fans were screaming their lungs out why is it that professional golfers require the hired help to hold up little signs that say "quiet please". i prefer the happy gilmore/tin cup style of play myself and wouldn't golf courses be absolutely perfect for sporting clays competition
- the zippo emergency fire starting kit could have been an improvement on the military spark-lite kits but it isn't. very weak guys. very unzippo like
- the next issue of western hunter will be out in about 30 days
- I prefer the cold
