Memories of a First Buck

I grew up immersed in a hunting culture.  Some of my earliest memories include waiting by the dining room window for the headlights from my dad’s pickup to flood the driveway after his annual week-long hunting trip.  Excitement filled my young mind as I would wait up well past my normal bedtime.  I loved that [...]

Mr. Bear, Shy and Aggressive

Its always been a marvel to me how black bears can be so shy, and yet in their own way aggressively live in close proximity to humans.  I don’t know how many times I’v have seen bear while out hunting and the second they know you are around they mysteriously just disappear.  Yet they have [...]

Game Biologists are Walking a Tight Rope

I was over on SoCal’s site the other day and Al had asked the question as to what others experiences have been in dealing with game biologists.  They probably have a wealth of information but sometimes it tough to get to much out of them.  Those that hunt you can understand, but if they don’t, [...]

Ahh, Come on, It Was a Great Day!

Now you’ve heard the version or young fathers with families at home as to what happened on the first day of our bear hunt, so you need to hear the side from the next older generation.  Sue was the one carrying the tag,  and I was along to eat the noon sandwiches, and Zack, our eleven [...]

Chasing Elusive (Adroit) Elk

Skillful or clever in performance; quick to grasp and execute; resourceful; deft. …and [...]

Fashions in the Wilds

Sometimes I sit down to write about a subject and know before I start that I’m going to get myself in hot water somewhere along the line.  With a subject that includes ladies, hunting, and fashions I’m guaranteed problems and some of them could probably come from my own household when I show a few pictures.  Oh well, [...]

There’s a Price For Practice to Make Perfect

We don’t run before we walk and we don’t give a speech before we learn to talk.  I’m sure Micheal Jordon threw up a few bricks before he became quite good at basketball and I’m sure Tiger woods busted 100 a few times before he became one of the best of golfers of all time.  I [...]

High Adventure deer Hunt

Nerves were tingling with anticipation as I made my way through the tangle of weeds and dense undergrowth. The dim early morning light made ghostly shapes, fanning the flames of imagination, sending all the senses to full alert. A soft breeze sighed, bringing the pungent smells of sage and manure… yes you read it right… manure… so [...]
