Reflecting on Past Archery Elk Seasons
March 29, 2010
I dug out all the footage of our 2009 elk season from the dark corner of the closet and as I reviewed it I realized what a good season we had. Yes, we felt disappointment in not filling our tags… but time spent in the hills is always rewarding. I like the way Bill Winke puts it [...]
Chasing Elusive (Adroit) Elk
February 1, 2010
Elusive (e lu’ siv) adj. Adroitly evading; baffling, hard to grasp. I had to look this up to make sure it was the description I wanted… and then had to look up adroitly( this always happens to me!) adroit (a droit’) adj.

Video of Sue’s Backyard Deer Hunt
November 20, 2009
I was fortunate to get some nice footage of this deer. He was feeding along the ditch bank and I watched him come closer … until I realized he was going to give me an opportunity!… I had to just set the camera to one side and concentrate on making the shot. You can hear [...]
Two Wheel’n After Elk
November 10, 2009
Idaho closes many of the old logging roads during Rifle Elk season. This has always seemed like a good thing to us in the past… but with my Dad approaching 80, and having a leg that had suffered a severe compound break in 2003, stints put in after a heart attack in 2005, breaking the same [...]

October 28, 2009
This was my first experience hunting these fascinating, beautiful animals… and I wasn’t disappointed! We saw plenty of Antelope, and the vast open country has a charm all it’s own.
Filming Hunts in Poor Weather
October 2, 2009
It’s no secret that electronics and water don’t mix well, and it’s equally known that hunting and wet weather frequently pair off as partners. As more and more sportsmen get into the act of filming their outdoor excursions, one problem repeatedly raises its head: what do you do when trying to film in inclement weather? [...]
Big Fish, Small Rod
August 27, 2009
We’re talking very small rod. Mike Di Pippo, President of Pen Fishing Rods sent me this video along with several photos. I’ll admit to never having tried the Pen Fishing Rods, but c’mon, who wouldn’t want to catch a lunker on a rod that closes to less than 8 inches long?! Check it out: httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nplomWaRT8I [...]
Pronghorn Scouting… getting the blood pumping for opening day!
August 10, 2009
When temperatures are in the triple digits some smart people head for the high upper country to do their scouting. Then there are those whose brains don’t seem to think clearly… and when the temps skyrocket, they head for the desert to soak up a little more heat! But in our defense, you have to go [...]
Off Trail – 2009 Spring Bear
July 14, 2009
The latest Off Trail video. Todd drew a spring bear tag for the second year in a row, and he was bound and determined to make this spot-n-stalk hunt work with his bow. Watch as we find ourselves face to face with a curious black bear at 20 yards!
Off Trail – Whitetail Hunting in Idaho
April 1, 2009
Sue Sorenson, or as I like to call her, Mom, is heading north to whitetail country as she vows to take on her fear of heights and hunt these wary bucks from a tree stand. Hunting the peak of the rut, this promises to be a good one!
