Big Oregon Elk
July 5, 2011
Since we lost our content from the past year, I wanted to re-post the pictures from my cousins monster Oregon bull elk from this past season. Prior to the season, their scouting had located two more bulls similar in size to this guy, but on opening day, the other two bulls were shot by another [...]
First Turkey Video
June 29, 2011
My grandfather is 81 and is responsible, at least partly, for passing on the hunting genetics to me. Despite his love and zeal for hunting, he had never bagged a turkey, but he was looking to change that this spring. The following video is his hunt in which my mother (his daughter) filmed him on his [...]
Blogging About the Outdoors
June 28, 2011
I posted this video a few years ago, but it bears repeating. I just finished watching it again myself and am reminded of some great blogging tips from Cory Glauner, owner of a great outdoor blog himself. Cory touches on some great points, and even if you’ve been doing this blog thing a while, you will learn [...]

Some of you may be aware that this blog has spent nearly three months on the blink, and for the last month it had completely dissapeared into a massive black hole. A web developer I am not, but a lack of funds turned me into one. And this post is evidence that I did get [...]

Spring Black Bear – The Third, and Final, Act
April 26, 2010
The final act? Already? Yup – this play is over, ladies and gentlemen. It happened on a somewhat cool afternoon, again with my wife, Shanna. When we pulled into our usual parking spot along side the gravel road, we could see someone had beaten us to the punch as a pickup sat empty and two [...]
Spring Bear Act II
April 19, 2010
Scene 1 Setting: The same daunting mountain as Act I. The sky is clear, the temperatures unseasonably warm. Our hunter, Tom, has farmed out the kid to Grandma and Grandpa, and is taking his wife, Shanna, up the mountain in search of a black bear. Tom: Don’t worry, we’re only going to hike a little [...]
