Memories of a First Buck

November 3, 2011

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 [...]

What’s for Dinner?… It’s NOT Beef!

A freezer full of Venison! What a sight to hungry eyes!

End of September

October 4, 2011

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

September 13, 2011

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 [...]

So Long Little Pete, It Was too Short a Run

August 22, 2011

I’m sure I spent enough time in the Armed Forces to hear every joke and snide remark there was about having two left feet.  But five years ago we had a couple little friends born on our place that both had two left feet and when they were trying to learn how to walk it probably [...]

Crunch Time

August 18, 2011

I looked at the calendar this morning and laughed at the cute joke someone had played on me. They had rolled the calendar so that it read “August.” Seriously, how stupid do they think I…huh? What’s that? Oh, I see. So, as I was saying, archery season begins here in Idaho in 12 days. Got [...]

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.

Mr. Bear, Shy and Aggressive

July 31, 2011

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 [...]

Wounded Deer and Awkward Situations

July 19, 2011

I’m using only the first names to protect the not-so-innocent. Brad and Johnny were headed to their favorite duck hunting spot on the river when they caught movement on the side of the road. Brad slowed down and they saw a deer that had been hit by a vehicle. It’s back legs had been broken [...]

Comments are Working

July 15, 2011

Just wanted to inform everyone that comments are working again. I installed a new spam blocker and didn’t realize it goofed up the comment functionality of the site. That has been corrected. Thanks to those who let me know about the problem.
