Water Wars-Hunting Fitness/Nutrition Journey

Hydration is very important for everyone and I, as a chronically dehydrated fool, can attest to that fact. Headaches, malaise and poor brain function are just a couple decent reasons to try to drink enough H2O every day but I recently found out a little info that was new to me and I thought might…

A Moose Hunt Through 8 Year Old Eyes

Meet Briger, my 8 year old daughter and light of my world. I wanted to try and help her capture her first hunting trip so Tristan and I outfitted her with her own little camera and binoculars and she took care of the rest. The day we got home from the hunt I sat down…

Apple Bacon Wrapped Elk Tenderloin

One of the most prized cuts off the tasty elk is the tenderloin. These prime meats are so tender and delicious that I often have the packages sitting in the freezer until almost the following hunting season because I want to save them for something special. Today I decided to try to roast a whole…

2015 Bull Elk Hunt Part 2

Season was coming to a close. Many a long, cold, tiring day had ended in the cabin. There the sweaty long johns and soaked camo came off. A fire was kindled, grub was consumed and intense battles of cribbage and backgammon passed the hours until our tired heads hit the pillows. In the darkness amid…

The LifeCoaster-Hunting Fitness/Nutrition Journey

  Life is full of ups and downs and if you haven’t experienced that reality then I hope you are the one person on earth who gets a smooth ride. The unknown has a sneaky way of causing anxiety and stealing joy. Our responses to these changes have a lot to do with how much…

2015 Bull Elk Hunt Part 1

It came and went without more than a handful of people knowing about it. To a vast world, it never existed. To most people, the thought of it will never entertain a moment of time in their minds. Yet for me, this time was one of the most exciting of my life and the memory…

Continued from 2015 Antelope Adventures Part 2… Back at camp, we took the antelope quarters and placed them on a rock in the middle of the stream next to our tent. The running water kept the air cool and the steep cliffs kept the sun off the stream all day. The quarters cooled quickly. We…

Versatile Blogger Award

  Surprised, honored and excited are probably the best words to describe how I felt when I stumbled across my name in Country Huntress’s Versatile Blogger Award post.
