Skip to contentThere are so many things about hunting that I truly love. The preparation long before the hunt that includes figuring out the new regulations, which can be as complicated as writing a term paper on a subject that you think you have knowledge about and find out that you actually know nothing. Making [...]
It’s my goal to become as familiar as possible with the lives of the flora and fauna in my eco-region. There is an excess of 3,500 plants in the California Floristic Province, so it is unlikely I will know them all in my lifetime. Likewise, the kingdom Fungi holds a great diversity and [...]
The polar bear’s head bobbed in and out of sight as it moved through the slabs of broken ice. I leapt off of the dog sled, threw my mittens to the ground, and wrestled out of my heavy down jacket. Grabbing my bow and quiver, I ran forward in my clunky boots to [...]

Deeply incised gulches wander amid stands of juniper and around solid pillows of granite. Raptors soar with proficiency and grace, their eyes searching for elusive cottontails hidden in [...]
I once made a comment that finding good shooting advice on the internet was like digging a $20 bill out of a septic tank. It has value, but you’ll dig through a lot of “stuff” to find it. That being said, many years ago a traditional bowhunting Texan named Rusty Craine handed us [...]
My good buddy John lives just over the hill in Rapid City, South Dakota, and let me tell you, he makes the best canned venison I've ever tried. One of these days I'm going to beat that recipe out of him, I swear. That stuff is so practical. It can be made into [...]
The more I learn about primitive people the more amazed I am at their intellect, skill, and ingenuity. Regardless of how advanced we become, stone age people still have things to teach us.
