“This too shall pass…” The future always seems so far away. The past, it’s gone in a blink of an eye. So blink. Give yourself - those you love, and those who love you - time to blink! It’ll pass faster than it feels right now. You WILL come out the other side, you - WE - will make it, and I WILL still be right there with you every step of the way! 👊 You know how to reach me, and you know I’ll always be there. 👊🙏
Part Two…. At blackforestwoodco, your door is AMAZING, just do us a favor and check in on your boy! 🤣👊🤷🏼♂️😂🤣😂 …for everyone else, go to their page (they do INCREDIBLE work), find this Reel/Post, and go straight to the comments… As @joerogan always says, the internet is undefeated!!!! 👊😂🤣😂🤣 [side note, if you ever want to prove how “out of shape you are,” find something that makes you laugh behind your control…and just register that level of abdominal pain! 😎😂🤣😂👊] #icantbreathe #ithurtssobadly #stopreadingthesehashtags
Reel from @underhustle …looking forward in time, things seem like they’ll take an eternity. Looking back in time, things seem like they happened - and PASSED - in the blink of an eye. They’re both right, but all you’ll remember is the latter. 👊 One step, one bite, at a time… 😎👊
@declaremyword Reel hit at just the right moment, me thinks. 👊 How perfect is this?!?! 🙏 The following is MY quote, and one that helps me clarify the chaos surrounding those that I care about: “I’d rather make a mistake in trying to help someone, than make a mistake in NOT helping someone.“ 👊
It’s been a rough couple of years for a bunch of us. @shiannecorley Reel came across my feed at just the right/wrong time, and it needed to be shared. We’re ALL dealing with sh*t. You are NOT alone. Seriously. …And my ear is just a DM away! Send it! 👊
Let’s just say… Moops has a thing for squirrels and “scritches” 😏🤦🏼♂️😎
If we’re gonna criticize law enforcement officers when they deserve it - and sometimes they DO - we need to be fair and give kudos when KUDOS are deserved! Sometimes, we get to see BOTH of those situations in one video! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I apologize to everyone who’s never had to live with Loons and understand just how funny this is! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank GOODNESS we had all of our “sportsman’s advocates” and “organizations” out there rallying us against the RETURN Act, the USFWS banning lead ammo and sinkers on SOME wildlife refuges, Wyoming allowing the *gasp* “private sector” helping toward Sage Grouse restoration, and other unspeakable, unconscionable things… thanks to them, we all dodged a bullet here (pun/no pun intended)! Because… who needs modern sporting rifles, self-defense semi-automatic shotguns/handguns, high-performance semi-automatic waterfowl, turkey, and predator-hunting shotguns and other such nonsensical things? 🤷🏼♂️🤨 Besides, this will never pass… Nothing to see here… look, look… shiny object… pay no attention to the troublesome thing behind the curtain… Don’t worry about our leftist progressive handlers and benefactors… we have YOUR best interest in mind… Send us your money, buy our Merch, #whatwetellyou … Mindlessly be part of our cool tribe… 🤨😒 …watch the “advocacy alerts” coming to your sportsman pages between now and when this hits the Senate floor! 🤣🤨😒 #oops!
There’s game cam footage, then there’s stuff like this! 😍 if anyone knows where the original post is, or the details of the camera trap, please share in the comments! Snow leopard, being caught on what looks to be a remote 360 cam (notice the spherical movement and image stitching at the last second). These cats are truly amazing!
Another great elk cow/calf vocalizations clip to listen/practice to, this time posted by @bufordlodge, shared to me by @mridge71. 👊 #elkhuntinginstitute #callemtoyourtoes #elk
Absolutely beautiful! …and what a lesson for those wishing to perfect ANYTHING in their own lives; start small, perfect the fundamentals… build, and then… 👊
You ask; “Is there a limit to the epicness that can be shared in an elk video?“ The answer is… HELL NO! @beau_fessional shared this Reel with me from @shane208stanford and I’m absolutely #McLovenit 😎
So… you think you’ve got nest predators? [Part One]

Checking/spraying/prepping #foodplots and was pleasantly surprised by a #foodplot that was doing better than many of the rest, and actually providing what I hope for my cool-season plots at this time of year: cover! #westernplainswhitetails #wildturkeyfederation #wildturkeys #wildturkey #habitatmanagement #wildlifemanagement
Habitat update for May 1st; talking again about why - out here - winter wheat is king! Fingers crossed for rain! 🙏 #westernplainswhitetails #wildturkeyfederation #wildturkey #wildturkeys #foodplots #foodplot #habitatmanagement #wildlifemanagement #huntingisconservation
Come along and roost some birds with me tonight. Or at least… try to. 🤨🤷🏼♂️😒
Perspective on why I shut down RHR NW Kansas spring turkey hunts this year (cont.):
Spring Point Count/Survey #4 (birds were on the ground at this point, BUT… from recent previous 2022 surveys, and visual configuration…).
Historic (2013-2020) = 2-3 Distinct Roosts, 5+ “full*” gobbles (average) [*gobbles that are not obviously Jake gobbles, those that sound like “mature” gobbles];
2022 = 2 Roosts, 3 “full” gobbles [RHR took 1bird from this area]
Trend: at least 40% reduction in survey detection [gobbler population] [visual estimation of hen population is same]
