2013 Spring Turkey

I’ts hard to believe Spring turkey season will soon be over in Idaho. My dad and I started it off with lots of action and dad was able to bring home the bird in the first week of the season… it was another pricless time spent with my dad in the woods! The second week [...]

2012 Idaho Mountain Whitetail

We’ve become addicted to hunting whitetail in the mountains… these silent ghosts of the deep  woods weave a magical spell. Add the haunting howls of wolves, old growth timber with it’s hanging moss swaying and the towering giant moose materializing from swirling mist… This atmosphere  of mystery  draws you back year after year…

End of September – Close of The 2012 Archery Season

The last few days of the season were approaching and we hadn’t been able to get out much since our three day hunt on Labor day week-end. We decided it was time to drop everything and head for the mountains… We felt like our opportunities would be good higher up the mountain, so we loaded [...]

2012 Idaho Archery Elk Season- First of September

          Looking into one of the many canyons the elk call home   September. That magical month of pursuing a dream. The dream we have fostered for 11 months… For many the journey toward opening day begins immediately after the closing hours of the last day of archery season… and the [...]

2012 Spot and Stalk Spring Bear (Video)

Tom and I drew spring bear tags this year. The unit we put in for doesn’t allow baiting,  so it is spot and stalk hunting. Tom carried his bow with him, along with his rifle just in case he could slip in close enough. I decided to concentrate on one thing at a time and [...]

Hunting Mountain Whitetail (Video)

We just returned from our annual whitetail hunt in central Idaho. This is a hunt that keeps us coming back for more even though we’ve never taken a big buck … we see the big ones but just haven’t been able to make it happen. I can’t even seem to get any video footage of [...]

End of September (Video)

Archery elk season closed the 30th of September, and once again we feel so fortunate to be able to experience the awe these amazing animals inspire! We could hear them, smell them, see them ….  but to make it happen with a bow escaped us. In spite of often feeling frustrated we look  forward to [...]

First of September (Video)

It’s finally here! Bugles are begining to drift on the mountain thermals, tan bodied ghosts glide silently through the deep dark timber, and the adrenaline flows as we chase up the mountain after the majestic elk that call this mountain their home. The 2011 archery season has begun! Here’s a short video summary of how it’s gone in the first [...]

The Perils Of Practice

Well I decided I’d better tell my version before Gary gets his word in… although he could make this much more interesting and fun! … Anyways… I’ve had some struggles this year in getting back on target with my bow. In my defense I have been trying to extend my shooting range, hence there have [...]

Summer Wildlife In The Backyard

We have been enjoying the sights from our back deck this past month as deer have begun to pass through the upper pasture. We’ve been seeing a little spike buck, a small fork horn and a larger fork, with a tall rack. The tall forked horn definitely has the same genes as the buck that was with the [...]
