After all the "Twilight" hulla-balloo that Nelly went thru after his trip to La Push, Washington a few weeks ago I quietly snuck down to the local Hollywood Video to rent the movie. Having spent countless days bouncing around the Forks area rivers for the past two decades in search of salmon and steelhead I…
As hunting season rolls along I continually get photos sent to me from the network of hunting and fishing friends I've made over the years. Like you, I am also easily distracted, so here's just a few photos from this week to help keep you from getting anything done on this Friday afternoon. Bob Say's…
I had a great time on the Humptulips River yesterday with super-angler Scott Sypher and Steve "Stam" Maris, catching a mixed bag of king, silver, and chum salmon. We weren't alone either, as nearly every driftboat in Washington descended on the river as it dropped into prime shape. I hammered a dark silver on my…
After missing the Eastern Washington hunt last week because of a health issue I turned my attention to the wet side of the mountains and blacktails. The Hood Canal is rimmed on all sides by clear cuts, some with locked gates and some without. The key is to find clear cuts between 2 and about…
When CCA's Bear Holmes isn't working his tail off to preserve your rights as a sportfisherman you can find him boiling, grilling, baking, and smoking the fruits of his labor in his ultimate outdoor kitchen. "I had this idea in mind for an outdoor barbecue and when the local Dairy Queen went out of business…
From the Outdoor Line Network: Bear attack 2009. Apparently a bear attacked his plane while parked in a remote field up in AK. He had not cleaned out the inside after a long fishing trip and the bear smelled it. He had 2 new tires, 3 cases of Duct Tape and several rolls of cellophane…
It's been a rather dreary general rifle season thus far on the east side of the Cascades, but that definitely hasn't been the case for the all-in-the-family Wooldridge clan hunting in Okanogan County. Glen Wooldridge, son Grant Wooldridge, brother-in-law Don Dunning, and nephew Jared Dunning all tagged out on mule deer in just two and…
Just recieved this photo from one of the Kansas clan of Max Rickerson's giant non-typical whitetail killed at Flint Oak in the Jayhawk State early last week. The thumper whitetail has 53 points and scores 327 5/8. Crown Royal on the rocks please!
After my ordinary hunting area became overrun with people a couple of years ago I was forced to look elsewhere. In the process of fumbling around scoping out an off-the-beaten-path area that didn't get heavily pressured my hunting partner and I stumbled upon an extensive area of roads with locked gates. "Why didn't I think…
I dropped into the Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club on Friday to sight in the ol' Belgium Browning 30-06 for next weeks deer hunt. First shot, a half inch low and dead-nuts in the bullseye! I thought to myself, "Hmmph, that never happens." Second and third shots were both an inch to the left of the…
