White Coyote

During my last trip to South Dakota a friend shared these pictures with me. His name is Jerry and he manages a big cattle ranch for my buddy’s relatives. Jerry also does some government work controlling coyote populations in the area and has been doing that for nearly 40 years.  About 30 years ago Jerry [...]

P90X…Again!

I’m back on the P90X wagon.  Last year I started P90X but half-way through shifted my workouts to a more intense weight program.  My goal changed from the year before, where I stuck religiously to P90X. Last year I wanted to gain more muscle mass and as a result added 17 pounds to my 5’10” [...]

Dry Runs

While I’m blessed to have the job I do, not all hunts turn out with 100% success just because we’re filming TV shows.  The past fall found me with four unfilled tags in my pocket, two of which stand out most in my mind. Going after mule deer in MT, I returned to the central [...]

Poached Washington Mule Deer

Happy New Year! One of my resolutions is to be more consistent with blog posts, which, in this line of work where I’m often removed from cyberspace, isn’t easy. As many of you know, I spent Thanksgiving away from the family, sitting in blinds and traipsing the hills of N. central WA, looking to arrow [...]

WA Archery Mule Deer Hunt

The past month has been hectic, too hectic to stay caught up on my blog page..sorry!  So, here we go, an attempt to recapture each of my late season hunts, starting with WA mule deer. The last week of November found us bowhunting for mule deer with Jerrod Gibbons, (www.okanoganvalleyguideservice.com).  Jerrod had invited us on [...]

Idaho Whitetail

After taking a nice elk with Boulder Creek Outfitters, high atop the breathtaking Joseph Plains of central ID, we changed the focus to whitetails.  After two days of no luck in this area, we dropped to lower elevations near the town of White Bird. It wasn’t easy leaving the Plains, as there had been a [...]

International Hunters Pursue WY Speedgoats

   A whirlwind drive found us back in Wyoming for a day of antelope hunting with Jon Ball, our friend and outfitter we’d just taken a muley and antelope with a week prior.  This time I wasn’t pulling trigger, rather hosting some of Trijicon’s top dealers and sales agents from Sweden and the UK. For [...]
