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…

2015 Antelope Adventures Part 2
Continued from 2015 Antelope Adventures Part 1… Laden with Rolin’s first antelope buck, we steadily marched our way up and out of the corridor. We reached the top and scanned the deepest reaches of the looming sage prairie in search of a sign of the rest of our group. After loading the antelope into…
Vortex Optics Kaibab HD 15×56 Roof Prism Binocular Review
The Kaibab binoculars from Vortex Optics are to the binocular industry what the one-ton truck is to the automobile industry. Think big and powerful and you will be on the right track. Weighing in at 43.5 oz. these 56 mm lens binoculars are nearly double the size of a regular binocular such as the…
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…

The Scapegoat Wilderness
Summer is a time for camping, hiking and just enjoying the outdoors as a whole. It is good for the mind, body and soul. What better place to enjoy it than a designated wilderness area? Thanks to some recently redefined wilderness boundaries, this year’s Veterans Outreach Program from the Montana Wilderness Association in partnership with…
Trapping Days
After being cooped up inside for much of the past few weeks, the fresh crisp air was welcomed into my lungs with an eagerness not unlike that of the hunger of a suckling newborn calf. When you are away from it you don’t notice how much you are missing it but when that first deep…
Mountain Rabbit Confit
Gone are the days when most wood stoves saw the addition of a stout rabbit a regular occurrence. Strangely the prolific creatures are actually a kind of expensive rarity these days. Grocery stores sell them as a specialty meat at upwards of twenty dollars a piece! For the average person, the succulent rabbit may be…
On the Line
Hunting season is closed now which means trapping season is in full swing. The Mountain Man has a line running and traps martin, mink, beaver, red fox, muskrat and bobcat. He has already had some success this season bagging a nice tom bobcat and two red foxes. We enjoy going along and…
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…
