We were in a spot of the season where things could have gone either way. I didn't expect the day to end up going the way it went. It started a few days before when I got a text message from a friend of mine that a rancher was putting out a call for coyote … Continue reading Utah Coyote Hunt, Or Almost Hunt.
First things first, sorry we didn’t have a post last week. We were having some family time in Oregon with my Mother in Law and I decided that spending time with family was a touch more important. Recently and as we got going with this blog and getting Kaela into hunting, we’ve had a discussion … Continue reading Hunting Ear Plugs, To Wear or Not To Wear.
Chukar hunting is a challenging adventure to say the least. My favorite quote I’ve heard is “The first hunt is for fun and all of the other hunts are for revenge.” They have all sorts of fun names that are usually in some way demeaning. Either way, I love the challenge and it’s time we … Continue reading Utah Chukar Hunting Prep

When your fiancé tells you that hunting coyotes isn’t scary, and while you’re sitting in the middle of an empty desert crouching down behind some sage brush you decide to do a Google Image search for “coyote” to remind yourself what they look like since you’ve never seen one in real life before, your search … Continue reading Real Talk from The Female First Time Hunter
The weather in Utah can make hunting very temperamental. Sometimes the weather is freaking hot and we are getting eaten alive by mosquitos and soaked in sweat, and other times the ice shows up out of nowhere and we get to watch birds fly right over us and make their way to Arizona and Mexico. … Continue reading Jump Shooting Ducks
As of right now we only have one month left of waterfowl hunting, so my mind is starting to change directions and I want to try and get Kaela on at least one more big hunt. I also want to get her shooting her new shotgun, so this meant a hunt was on the horizon.
Waterfowl and winter go hand in hand in my mind. First, fall comes to mind as the start of bird season. We can chase grouse and dove and all of that is a big warm up for the best time of year, waterfowl season. December has come on full force with winter. We didn’t even … Continue reading I’ll Take A Teal But No Ice.
