Slow on the draw- scooped by the Western Wanderer
Well, about a week or so ago, I got an email from one of my “virtual” friends, Nate Treadwell. Nate’s been living the hunting dream of late, heading out to Africa last year to bowhunt big game, and getting in a good bit of hunting here in CA as well. This year, one of his big treats was an antelope hunt in Colorado, and as he mentioned in the email, he did alright.
So, I had his pictures and his story all queued up to go on the Hog Blog this week, but a couple of other items came out first… and it looks like now I’ve waited too long. My buddy John, at the Western Wanderer, beat me to the draw. It’s a good story, and a great goat, so be sure and go check it out!
John just came back from a pretty awesome hunt himself, over in Nevada. He came home without venison, but from what he wrote, it sounds like a successful trip nonetheless. Imagine, spotting 51 bucks in a single day!
Good stuff, and congrats to both hunters for getting out there and giving it their best. Hopefully, I’ll be finding a chance to get out for a bowhunt before the season rolls past me.
Boy , Nate will be pleased. Columnists fighting over him! Didn’t mean to step on any toes Phil. I guess we are gonna have to get together this Winter for a hog hunt and strategy session!
Have a good Fall buddy.

No toes stepped on, John. It was your Successful Hunter series that gave me the idea in the first place.
But we should still try to find a chance to get together anyway. Hell, you’re not that far away.

You should definitely make time for that bow hunt, Phillip. It would be so worth your time.
