Mia & the Little Gal – A Sportfishing Adventure at the Women’s Outdoor News

I just re-read this post and had such fond memories that I am longing to go again!
A new Mia and the Little Gal adventure is posted over at the Women’s Outdoor News. You’ve got to read it and share our adventure.

Mia & the Little Gal: Our first south-of-the-border sport-fishing adventure in Mexico

Is there something about fun that entails work and waking up before the sun? In the life of Mia and the Little Gal (LG), it sure seems to be the case. Whether we are hunting or fishing, we do believe in the saying, “The early bird gets the worm.” This early-morning adventure was a first for myself and LG. We were super excited because Hank was taking us sport fishing.

Stories from a mountain horse

Gman4

Geronimo, aka G-Man, aka Toughest horse on the mountain.

I stand here enjoying the sun.
I chat with a friend and talk about the fun.
I wish he could share with me and tell it all.

Can you imagine the stories he has to tell?
Can you imagine a life lived so well?
A horse.
A guide.
A mustang.
A huge heart.
A fighter.
A winner.

The “A Squad”.
He’s been to the top of each mountain.
He’s a hunting machine.

His face is gray with age and experience.

The years. The miles. The tales he has to tell.

A warm sunny meadow on a summer morning.
A frightened woman and her first ride.
A cheering family as her fears subside.
A hunter who is determined.
A loaded pack-saddle and switch back trail.
A bull bugle on a moon lit night.
A celebration near the camp fire after a stalk and ride.

Cold mornings covered in frost.
Thick snow, ice, climbing and never lost.
The sweet, fresh blades of grass breaking through the snow.
A race for the honor and winning it all you know!

Elk, deer, bear, turkey, grouse, once in a life time moose, all special hunts.

All memories that make him proud to have the gray faced wisdom of seeing it all.

Now, relaxed, sunning, taking it in.
You are still a champion and I know you are proud old friend!!!

Mia & the Little Gal – Turkey Hunting Tips

I just found this video from last spring’s turkey hunt with LG. It’s pretty funny to see a year later!
We had spotted eight toms. One was a GIANT gobbler. He was feeding his way up toward us. We scrambled to get in place and began to set up. I thought I better get a clip of her because she was SO EXCITED.
Keep your eye on LG.
Has anything like this ever happened to you on set up?
Never set up on an ant pile!!! LOL!!!

Hunting and why it’s NOT a wasted tag

Friends, and sometimes strangers, ask why I tend buy a license(tag) for any season I am allowed, even if I may only get one day to hunt. Sometimes the odds are against me that the tag will be filled, but I purchase one just in-case I get to go hunt that species. There is another more important reason I don’t hesitate to spend my money on them. My money goes to a good cause.

I say over and over again “It is not a wasted tag.” What does that mean? It means my money is going to support conservation, wildlife, habitat and research. I can go buy a new pair of sunglasses, a fancy dinner or new clothes anytime. Those are just things and there is not long-term reward in them. Rather than being a shop-a-holic, I am a hunt-a-holic. I figure if I’m going to “blow my money”, I will blow it on something that will benefit the outdoors and wildlife for years to come. I buy hunting tags.

Here is a video from the BBC. It includes my friends and a fellow SCI board member who work for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Here is what our money goes to. Wild life research and conservation. This is an amazing project that is being done right here in Durango, Colorado. It is a first hand look at what is NOT a wasted tag.

LG calls this “The Great Migration” (elk crossing)

We always try to leave early for school. This is some of what we see along the way. A huge herd of elk. One third of the elk went to the left. We caught them on film as they crossed the highway. The other two thirds remained in the field to our left. WOW! What an amazing sight. We love the things we see “along the way”.
