We are certainly grateful for where we live.

So there is not, at this point, a single reference to the elk or the hunter in the officers citation. There exists a filling date, a county reference and the guides names, two separate citations reportedly.The author couldn’t wait to tie the two events, trespass and the bull together. The PC...

That looks great,

Simply an outstanding story. This brought back a flood of memories, going back 60 years. Yes they will remember this day for a long long time.

Walking out this morning to turn the horses out.

Wow, that is deeply concerning.

Definitely getting into fall, three weeks ago I’m hobbling around camp with a bum knee while the guys are out chasing elk. 6500 feet elevation and spend most of the night on top of my sleeping bag. 0400, just pulled my first cup of coffee, 27 degrees and clear. Not uncommon here to have diurnal...

While I’ve several mistakes that I would go back in time and change if I could. Near the top of the list would be not going to Africa sooner. I should have started while I was still working but after the kids were done with school etc. I certainly could have pulled off more trips. That being...

Instead I just loaded my favorite load 49.5 gr. Rl 17 with...

Damn Cancer. We know your pain. Sending a prayer your way.
