Everything closed in Washington state now, except maybe coyote and possibly Couger...so, time to think about THIS year!!
I'm really looking forward to Turkey hunting this spring with Bloody Bess, and having all winter, spring and summer to get to know my Jaeger well. Just need to order a ball mould, which I will do within a day or so, to REALLY start seriously shooting her. Found a Lyman in .600" for $50.00, such a deal.
Then next fall, besides grouse hunting with Bess starting September, also getting out for Black bear as much as possible starting in September. Black bear actually opens in August, but I'm not into knocking down a big game animal when it's 90 degrees. Something about trying to gut an animal in the middle of a swarm of yellow-jackets...!!
Saw a BIG boar this fall, and a GIANT sow. Hope to meet one of them again, and introduce them to Brown Rosie the .62" calibre Jaeger, aka The Rose of Alabama. I have a pretty good idea of where the Sow hangs out, but don't know if the Boar just happened to be where I saw him at, or if it's in his regular territory.
But mostly I want to camp for a whole two weeks when either sex deer, either sex elk, black bear and grouse seasons all over-lap. That would be Heaven on earth.
Well that's my plan and I hope to stick to it. Hope everyone had a good 2004 season, and has a great 2005.
