Your Story

My mind, as of late, has been so full of ideas and musings that it has been difficult to narrow them down into words. My life is very full of blessings which in turn makes it extremely busy creating challenges for my writing. I find however that it also stimulates my mind and creativity if…

Updated Dachstein Boot Review

This past year, a brand new pair of Dachstein Alpin Bock hunting boots added some class to my closet. Sadly, that was about the only action they saw because when I received them I no longer had any hunting tags left to fill and season was over. I had to sit and look at the…

Antelope Adventures Part 1

The time has come. The season is here. Finally, we can begin to tell stories that are all about adventures in the great outdoors and pursuits of the wild animals that call it home. These are the best stories. These are the stories that carry us through the rest of the seasons. I live for…

An Early Season Lesson

Archery season has officially started here in Montana which means that I can pursue a mule deer buck, whitetail doe, bull elk and doe antelope with my bow. I can also hunt black bear with a rifle and turkeys with a shotgun. I have been able to get out twice so far.  Day 1 found…

Adventure Awaits

The 2015 hunting season is literally just around the corner and for those of you who are interested, I thought I would share a little bit about what tags are burning holes in our pockets and what we are doing to prepare to share the success stories of the notching of those tags with you….

What’s In Your Pack?

Most hunters would not enter the woods without their pack. When you embark on a hunting adventure, the hope of success breeds the need for a few items to be carted along. Most of us will never need a survival kit but the chance of an emergency situation is a lot higher than one may…

Dachstein Alpin Bock-First Impressions

I have been blessed with the opportunity to test out a pair of boots from a company largely unrecognized in the United States, Dachstein. This company however, is not new and in fact has been around crafting high-quality footwear since 1925. Rooted in Austria, they stayed local, within their region. They sent me a pair…

Hunter Judgment

I am a Christian. That may cause hatred, love or indifference in those who read it but no matter your stance on Christianity I think we can all agree that we have a bad reputation for being judgmental. It has been well earned, but strangely I have felt those same condescending looks come from a…

Small But Mighty-The Tale of Abby Grace Wesson

Without a doubt, one of the most amazing and overwhelmingly precious moments that you can experience in life is that moment when your tiny, priceless, bundle of newborn baby is placed into your arms. The thoughts and hopes that fill your heart with overabundant joy often bring tears along with smiles as you realize that…

Trophies For Troops

As I sit here attempting to write this, the feelings I have are so strong it is making it difficult for me to put my thoughts down on paper. Usually the words just come but there is so much I could say and I don’t know where to start. I guess I will start at…

Part 2 of My First Elk

We got her to the logging road and loaded up. It was still early in the day and since the whole herd had poured off the back of the ridge, we decided to attempt to locate them again. Two bull tags were burning holes in the Mountain Man and Bill’s frozen pockets. The Mountain Man…

My First Elk

Chain up, it is about to get wild around here. The final weekend of the season and my last chance to fill my cow tag, proved to be one action packed epic adventure up on the Mountain again. That place never leaves you feeling lackluster or bored. Fourteen inches of fresh fluffy snow packed down…
