A Year of Sleepless NightsOpening day of the 2008 Utah general season archery hunt found me hunting an area where I had located a couple of shooter bucks earlier in the year.

Living Among Them In A Colorado WildernessI couldn’t believe how energized I felt as we crested the last alpine ridge before descending into the remote wilderness bowl; a place we would call home for the next ten to twelve days.

A Good ReadBeing an avid hunter and believing it is our God-given right to partake of the outdoors for food or just the enjoyment of the outdoors itself, I am always happy to draw any tag and be in pursuit. To me, being successful is just being able to be in the great outdoors; harvesting any game is the blessing. |

Eye to Eye BruinsAfter hours of sitting and watching, I finally spotted a jet black bear coming out of nowhere. He was a good boar with a pumpkin for a head, and was headed out to feed on the neon green ramps that make up the foothills of the mountains in spring. |
