The Mature Bull.

September 12, 2017 @ 1430. Temperature high 70s.

At the bottom of the pass, jumped a bedded 6x6 on the north phasing slope along a creek bed. The bull was bedded about 60 yards above the creek next to a wallow. He slept in front of a down tree that provided him back cover, and a full view of anything coming up the creek.
I found a fresh set of tracks on the back country ski trail, and followed them straight to his bed. The bull spooked at 20 yards when my buddy & I we're almost right above him. He bedded about 10 yards off the trail.

BJJ Journal: Single Leg X

The hardest thing in the world is to be ourselves. Who are we? Our family tells us, society tells us, laws and customs tell us. But what do we say? How do we get to that place of self-knowledge and conviction where we are able to state without doubt, fear or anger, “This is who I am, this is what I believe, this is how I intend to live my life”? ~ Steven Pressfield  Gym: The Base Jiu Jitsu taught by Professor Dealy   TRAINING LOG: • Single Leg X flow drills. Partner standing over your chest. Put one hand on the inside of the knee and the other arms wrapped around the ankle grabbing own lapel.  • SL-X sweep w/ lapel as leash. • SL-X, opponent defends with pushing ankle/leg off hip, w/ lapel as leash pull down and use leg to bump forward, when he comes back up slide into SL-X on his other leg. • Opponent has full mount, hip bump to one side to create space and shrimp to create even more space into SL-X, then either technical stand up if he stays...
