Testing today’s best dog travel crates for American Hunter mag. This @gunnerkennels looks like a strong contender. Betsy’s cat doesn’t look all that confident in the proceedings. #dogtravel #kennels #travel #crate #keepemsafe #gunnerkennels #ronspomeroutdoors #americanhunter

Fence repair in a jungle corner of wild Dancing Springs Ranch. We call this the north woods. Ruffed grouse thumped counterpoint to my pounding and a house wren flushed from a nest hole in the corner post. Not a bad work environment, eh? There be mule deer here. #fencing #dontfencemein #dancingspringsranch #ronspomeroutdoors #protectinghabitat #pounding #springproject

Mending fences to keep cattle out of this sage-steppe habitat on Dancing Springs Ranch.

Buy this book. It is raw indeed, but written in an honest and self- revealing style that exposes much of the macho drive and passion of man as hunter. Larcher hunts on the edge, figuratively and literally, going where no, or at least few, have gone before — and nearly died. You may not agree with some of his ethical choices, but you have to respect him for his honesty and dedication to the pursuit. These adventures are in the style of Russell Annabel only true. Larcher’s style is wordy, yet you keep chugging along because the action is worth it. He delves more deeply into hunt prep, gear, travel, surviving extreme weather, and his internal universe than the hunt itself. Maybe that’s what makes these tales so good. I wouldn’t want to hunt with Larcher, but I’ll gladly read him. http://bit.ly/2HTsveS. #boblarcher #alaskaraw #buythisbook #alaskahuntinglife #alaskaadventure #flyingalaska #bushflying #wildernesshunting #ronspomeroutdoors #snowmobileadventures #toddcommunications

There be sharptails, pheasants, and huns nesting here.

Cryptic coloration discovered while mending fences this morning. I believe there are hawk moths making more. Many mistake these for hummingbirds. Similar hovering and nectar sipping behavior. Wonder if folks @mossyoak study this? #ronspomeroutdoors #camoflauge #mossyoakmoth #dancingspringsranch #insectlife #camo #hawkmoth #hummingbirdhawkmoth #cryptic #moth

No, not pheasant chicks, but these future laying hens at Dancing Springs Ranch remind us that wild pheasant and sharptailed grouse will be hatching soon. #hatch #chicks #uplandbird #ronspomeroutdoors #dancingspringsranch #layinghens #eggstobe #farmlife #spring #amercauna #peeppeep

Travel small. @legendary_arms_works 6.5 Creedmoor with @sigsaueroptics fits take-down shotgun case for easier travel. Details in upcoming @sportsafield magazine.

Now this is how you engage birds with a shotgun. Purpose and focus. Aided by @mossbergcorp 930 Pro Series Sporting 12 ga. @filson1897 chaps and strap vest @southdakota public land hunt. @ronspomer we always get our birds — or wear ourselves out trying. 52 seasons in rear view mirror and looking forward to the next.

Try again. Here’s the image I thought I was commenting on in my last post that showed a 300 PRC instead of @hornadymfg 6.5 PRC. Posting after 11 hours behind the keyboard is fraught with peril. #65prc #65creedmoor #ronspomeroutdoors #hornadyammo #centerfirecartridges #precisionshooting #eldbullets #26caliber #264ever #ronspomeroutdoors

Creed’s big cousin. The 6.5 PRC @hornadymfg is about to break in the barrel of a new Professional II bolt action from @legendary_arms_works rifles. But first have to mount @sigsaueroptics BDX scope. This case should add 200 to 250 FPS to the Creed. #ronspomeroutdoors #legendaryarmsworks #65prc #65creedmoor #rifles #cartridges #shooting #hornady #bigbrother

This is what the roar looks like in @john_scurr_ht NewZealand each March/April. May is good for heavily maned tahr. While there tour the @_worldofdeer_ museum at Wanaka airport.
