Hunting Mountain Whitetail

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

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

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 [...]

Antelope Appetizer

With antelope seasons fast approaching, I thought it would be appropriate that our new featured video is an antelope hunt in eastern Oregon.

First Turkey Video

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

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 [...]

Sue’s Idaho Spring Bear Hunt

The last day of spring bear season was May 22nd… and I’m having a hard time getting back into the non- hunting mode… Turkey ended May 25th and slipped right on by without getting a hunt in. We got the notice from Idaho Fish and Game that Gary and I were unsucsessful in our application for [...]

Kids Know How To Have Fun!

A couple of weeks ago our young friend Zach came over and we took the 22 out in the back pasture and shot pop cans… I’d forgotten how much fun it can be! Awhile back Arthur wrote an excellent post about getting kids outdoors and he made the  point that it doesn’t have to be some extravagant dramatic [...]

Idaho Spring Bear

The video:

So Close… Yet So Far!

I found the footage of the nice 6 pt. bull we saw in 2008. Gary and I had to watch helplessly as he paraded with his cows right under our noses! … Yes, it was Archery season… and we had just spent all day tramping up one ridge and down another looking for this very species! [...]
