I was visiting some of the family this weekend and this disrespectful little guy walked right by me. Probably the closest I'll get to one this season.....
Sunset over the “range” this evening...
My roads are horrible right now.
2 months old today and finally off breathing support!!
@tnichols love the sunset picture. I don’t remember the last time I was home for sunset.
hole.
@Dirty D can put this to shame, I assure you!
You had the opportunity to whack three white tails and chose to shoot them with a camera? My wife would be pissed too!

You Racist Bastard !!
Those are "BLACKTAILS" !!
Now say "I'm Sorry".
I thought the Hide was gonna be the last place to get woke!
Tuna, snapper, it’s all fishy. Stellar pics of NE there
Most likely here to stay..
Not to much yet, although tomorrow am there will be more. There's a skim of ice underneath the snow, walk and drive gently.

And we have 70 plus on the forecast today. I miss me some snow.
Our frozen precip came in a different form last night than @Nodakplowboy got. Fortunately, we didn’t receive much. Had to thaw the deck with warm water to shoot. There’s only one good way to knock the ice off of steel 
saw no urchins or Lobsters.....but we did see plenty of starfish

there was a seal splashing around in the morning, but he took off before we got into the water.

i didnt, but now that i know its there, ill definitely be sure to stop in next time im up that way
Looks like a gray seal...I thought they only had the smaller variety...Harbor seals - the cute guys.
Woman was killed by a Great White up that way last year or so.......If the Grays are heading up that way the Whites will surely follow....
Fantastic photography Thank you for posting!

Might be adding a new face to the crew. 
Disguising himself as a woodpecker? Must be goose season in your AO........
Did you buy a barrel? I was drinking some their rye last night.View attachment 7749929View attachment 7749926Not sure why I stopped getting notifications from this threadIt’s always go go go around here. Got my lathe shelving done last week. Took a spur of the moment overnight trip to a distillery with a couple friends.
I spent a couple of winters in Grand Forks (UND). As I remember, most of the snow that fell didn’t stay around too long, it ended up in South Dakota or Illinois or Minnesota or God knows where… the wind was always blowing pretty darn hard. Neg. 75 once - with wind chill factored in. You NoDak peeps are pretty hardy folk. Maybe it’s all the Lutefisk?
They are for sure. Never doubt the grit of any rural folks from the Dakotas. Tougher than boiled owl shit.
At $25k a barrel, I’ll stick to a couple bottles at a time
From yesterday's ride, 60deg in December in the mountains.
I drew a mountain goat tag this year and laid eyes on some of the most spectacular country god ever created. I spent almost 30 days in the mountains in various stints and never saw a single person other than a random set of Bro/Bra's that followed my boot tracks one day.
Looks like good country to randonnee ski and cover more terrain.
My first, after passing on 6-8 ptr's over the years, 270 @ 60 yds thru the trees as he jumped up and stood still in a stand of trees as i approached a ravine.
Possibly made to somewhat resemble a old mine portal, a 12" and an 18" gong? New access gate?
Thank you,

Some days they worked pretty good, but when it came time to climb up a headwall or other steep ass mtn they were pretty cumbersome. I bought alot of mountaineering gear for that hunt and was skeptical that I would use it. Boy was I wrong. The Kahtoola over the boot cramp ons saved my bacon too many times to count.
I used to tour around on a pair of old Atomic skis with old school Silvretta bindings
Never on a goat hunt, but touring and sometimes rabbit hunting.
Also used these for snow approaches to alpine climbs and to get to remote waterfalls in the winter to see just how much stupid shit I could do in one day and survive!
Cool part was, they were able to be used with any boot that accepted step in crampons.
From AT ski boots, plastic double boots, La Sportiva Nepal, and La Sportiva Makalu. All worked.
In a pair of light mountaineering boots like the Makalu, your non ski travel in steep country is still good. Any downhill is shot, but traversing or going down with skins still on the skis helps and ton. just know how to ski well and you will be fine.
A LW foam core ski was key, as then there wasnt much weight to tote when you have to walk much.
Also, @pmclaine - you know what Randonee is french for? Cant telemark!
And telemark is Norwegian for "slow hippy!"
I have done both a lot. Only slow on teles if you are a pussy!

Is that how Mark Serbu got his start ?
And Ty thought my drip torch was cool (when he was younger). Setting things on fire
from a distance has always been a good idea . She’s got ears like a jackrabbit the second one is finally all the way up
