My dad drew a Wasatch open bull tag this year. We've been on a couple big bulls but never could get close enough to one. He killed this bull last night. 964 yards, dropped with one shot.

I still wouldn't have been close enough to that one at 964 yds. Impressive shot!

Last month he hit the milk jug in price 3 of 5 times at 1k yards in heavy winds with this rifle. You definitely have to put in the work to make shots like that.

It's amazing how some fall colors, and big fish can ease the pain of snow, wind, rain and frozen hands.
Yes I look like an inbred in that photo.

A snowy grouse hunt. Snow to just over the knee made for a lot of effort, but the hunting was great. It was some good snow wheeling to get up there too.

Not much happening yesterday afternoon, so I braved the cold. It was productive. I love fall.

Friday was a beautiful day here, brisk at 33 degrees but sunny and very little wind. Not much happening on the work front, so my daughter and I went fishing. I was wishing I was duck hunting, there were so many birds wanting to land where we were. It was great.
The fishing was pretty slow, but this made up for it. Measured at 26" and 14" girth. Sweet rainbow. These don't come along very often. He's still in there for another day.

Last Saturday was a nice and sunny 18 degrees when we left the truck. Yes it's stupid, but I'm happier there than inside.
The ice was floating down really thick at first, then at 24 degrees it really lightened up.

Last week was so much fun we headed out again today. It was warmish, no complaints.
We only caught 3 fish, 2 for me and one for my buddy. But..............................
The first one was 25" long and 15.5" girth to put it at 7.5lbs. It is a beautiful rainbow.
After realizing we forgot our phones in the truck, I waded/ran/fell back to the truck as fast as possible to get a phone to take some pics while my buddy kept the fish in the water breathing until I returned.
Then, a few dozen casts later I hooked and landed this brown trout at 25" long, 15" girth and 7.25 lbs.
This kind of luck doesn't come to me often. Needless to say my friend was not happy watching this happen, so I quit casting and let him go to town. It took some work, but he made a great cast and..............................
This rainbow came in at 24" and 15" girth weighing about 6.75 lbs.
Winter is not the time to put the fly rod down and just tie.
No fish were killed in the making of this event!

Another great day, for my notes/record.

The snow is really piling up here. It was 17 degrees when I got out of the truck. It cooled off after that by a few degrees. Reel was frozen on every fish I brought it. It's funny to watch me keep it tight stripping it in, while dipping the reel in the water to loosen it up enough to use the drag. They pull/fight hard.

Had a youth cow elk hunt last week. Unfortunately my youngest daughter got skunked on her first elk hunt. My 17-yo son, however, is now 6 for 6 on elk.

A couple of great days on the river the last week. Full disclosure the second day, last Friday was about 24 and 30 mile per hour wind. It sucked, but I had driven 1.5hrs to get there, so we fished for six freezing hours. It was great! That river produces the darkest rainbows I have encountered. They are super charged too, normally they jump 3-4 times while landing them.

I took my mostly blind Father in Law and his grandson (previous marriage) out today. The kid is from Canada and loved it here. It was finally a nice day!
