Deer Hunt 09
No deer this year, but I still had a great time hunting. I did see some elk, had a great hike, found some old mining tools and an elk skull, and other interesting things. Start here to check it all out and see some great pictures!

When You Think...
When you think of guns, do you think of tragedy and death? Do you think of terrorism and hostages, high school shootings and bank robberies, or criminals and psychopaths? Do you think guns empower evil and destroy all? Do you fear their power and loathe their being?
When a hunter thinks of guns, he remembers past hunts or target shooting with a friend. He debates over trigger pull and scope mounts, or choke tubes and shot size. He amazes at how an old .303 British rifle, made in the height of World War II, now hunts for game, not other men. He respects their power and loves their feel.
How wonderful to be a hunter.
When you think of logging, do you think of wilderness destroyed by roads and hillsides stripped by clear cuts? Do you think of habitat loss and suffering wildlife? Do you expect erosion and worry over endangered species? Do you fear the loss of a natural resource and despise capitalism?

HuntSpot Pic: Wapi Lava Flow
(click on picture to enlarge)
This picture is of my son, Lance, walking on the Wapi lava flow near Baker Caves. This lava flow is a bit south of the main Craters of the Moon National Monument lava flow, but is still actually part of the monument.
If you've never walked out on this kind of terrain, you're missing out. It looks like hell, but it's fun to hike around on. Yes, it's hard on the shoes, and toes, but it's never boring. There's simply all kinds of cracks, crevices, holes, strange formations, and even caves in some areas. So there's always something interesting to see. Check out the Craters of the Moon link above for more about lava flows and such.
Feature Article
First Deer
Perhaps nothing remains more special in a hunter's mind than his first deer. Every detail of the situation can be remembered years later. In fact, sometimes even more details can be remembered years later than the day after.
As I stumbled down the trail in the dark on the day I was to take my first deer, a hundred thoughts ran through my head. I remembered the previous season when I had taken to the woods eleven times, but had seen only one deer --- with no opportunity for a shot. I remembered vividly the frustrations that season had created. Then, I tried to remember all the things I had learned since, in hopes I would not feel that way again.
Still, on this day when hunts for both deer and elk opened, I was nervous. I tried to control my feelings as I sat with my back up against a high stump facing the water hole I planned to watch. I buried my legs as much as possible in dirt and branches and then sat still, thinking about the numerous deer and elk tracks I’d seen while scouting the location.

My No Deer Year
Well, what can I say? I failed to get a deer this last fall. It was frustrating, let me tell you, but then that's hunting. You just never know what is going to happen.
I currently have two theories as to what went wrong.
Theory #1 --- It's Torri's fault.
Torri is a very lovely and wonderful person that I work with. And yet, she cursed me.
You see, the week before deer opened I just happened to mention that I was preparing for my upcoming hunt.
"Oh cool!" she said. "Do you usually get a deer?"
"Oh yeah, I always do," I answered like the cocky, brain dead fool that I am.
"Well, at least the last four years running anyway," I hurriedly added, realizing what an utterly foolish statement I had just spat out.
Naturally, as the season progressed, Torri proceeded to ask me if I'd met with any success.
And, just as naturally, because I'd acted way too cocky about my deer hunting ability in front of her, I was privileged to tell her over and over again how I hadn't seen a buck all year.
Well, before the last week, I got smart and decided to beg Torri to release me from the curse.
"I shouldn't have told you I always get a deer like that. Now I'm jinxed! Can you help, please?!"
She said she'd work on releasing me from the curse. She also offered to buy me a hamburger if I still failed on the final weekend of the season.
That did it.
You simply can't be a big, bad, macho deer hunter if women are offering to buy meat for you.
But anyway, this theory probably isn't very valid, so let's move on to theory number two.
Theory #2 --- I got lazy and was too noisy.
Yeah, I think I just got too lazy, too sure of myself after last year's success. (see Big Buck Day)
Plus, last year I drew a controlled hunt tag and got to hunt in an excellent area. This year I had to return to an open hunt with more hunters and less deer.
That's no excuse. I mean, I'd gotten deer three years in a row in that area, but it is tougher, and I got lazy after having it easy last year.
There was a lot of crunchy snow this year and I just didn't take the time needed to be stealthy enough.
So, I guess I'll just have to man up and take the blame. It is my own dang fault that I didn't get a deer this year.
So, you're off the hook, Torri. But, I'll still take that hamburger if the offer stands.
Yeah, cuz, my freezer is, um, well, kind of empty.
