"Mount Sinaloa"




November 21, 2017. The Late Season.

I chose a ridge along the western slope of the Cascades to hunt blacktail deer. Ruthless wind, snow, and NW signature rain gave the AO the name "Mount Sinaloa." The area contains a clear cut that drops down to a basin, bordered by old growth timber. I will park the truck on opposite side of the mountain around 2000 ft elevation, and start my stalk through the dark timber. The peak is a little over 2800 ft. I will conduct my experience through trail cams and boots on the ground.

Trail camera location: End of a finger ridge around 2400 ft.

November 18 @ 0733, 33 degrees, clear sky. A doe cautiously walking down the finger ridge. 15 minutes later, a herd of elk (10+) were feeding right behind her.

@1503, 2+ elk were feeding up the ridge.

November 19, 0926, 35 degrees, sunny. Same elk herd feeding up the ridge.

BJJ Journal: Butterfly Guard

Opponent steps up while keeping top of foot behind knee and other foot hooks behind on hamstring. One hand on ankle and the other on lapel as leash. Slide into de la Riva. Then slide into X- guard. #1. Opponent leans back, so you extend both legs while pulling ankle, and push at lapel, and keep the lapel and the cuff. Elbow on mat, knee slice down leg and loop leg into back of shoulder. Step over with other leg and secure arm bar. Keep arm to chest and slide up to opponent thumb. #2 opponent leans forward, keep inside hook on hamstring tight, drop other leg to mat, punch hand behind butt and hip opponent over and take side control. Opponent has de la Riva, hand on hip and straighten leg then point knee out to break de la riva guard. Leave hip and grab lapel. Pin knee to mat and knee slice to pass.

BJJ Journal

Breaking the guard - 2 on 1 Russian tie. Control opponent with 2 on 1 at his elbow and wrist, and pin him to the ground with it. While driving into him, walk him all the way up to top of his back, and get your hips under his. Move from 2-1 to double cliff hanger, then lift opponent off the ground. Break the guard by stepping back and pushing the knee out. Pinch one of the opponents legs, the side you want to pass. Let go of the arm and move to same side collar. Side hop, forehead driving into sternum and back step over into side control.

"The Flats"

Late season deer. "The Flats" a plateau over looking a lake. A square patch of doug firs bordered a meadow with young reprod. On the edge of the meadow in the timber, i encountered 21 deer in 5 days (3 bucks). "Mount Sinaloa" - Big bruiser track in the snow, trail led from saddle to clear cut. I think this was the buck that made those two rub lines. 2 mikes off the trail in the Sinaloa mountains, I hung a tree stand and trail cam for next season. I'm hoping to find a monster buck or bull somewhere in the dark timber.
