Montana Hunt 2015 - What will happen this year?

Montana Hunt 2015 – What will happen this year?

Redux As followers of this blog know, I have been going out to Montana on elk/mule and deer hunts as one of the “excursions” I report out on. Last year, I was only partially successful as I shot elk, and while it was bleeding out, a couple of “yahoo’s” poached it (see Montana Hunt 2014). This year was going to be different – or so I hoped! My goal for this year was to, at least, bag a mule deer.…

Adventure Report – Key West 2016: Part 3 (Finale)

In Part One and Part Two of this three-part adventure report, we covered our trip down to Key West and our first day of fishing. In spite of some spectacular food and fun, our fishing had been mediocre. We were ready for some good fishing. Rise and shine!! Waking up on day two was not much different from day one, though the weather was even more gloomy and stormy. In fact, lightning flashed and…

5 Tips for Better Bass Fishing

The perspective many may have about me is that I am ALL about hunting, but I am not. For a number of years, I fished Pro/Am bass tournaments around my home state. When it came to raising my 3 sons, my time available for fishing was cut significantly, so I decided to take a “break” from fishing. That said, I do love to fish. These days, most of my fishing time is geared towards exploring saltwater…

Recipe: Simple Venison Barley Stew

I mentioned this recipe earlier in our “Into the Wilderness Episode 2”. This is a great stew that can be a full meal or as an intro to a nice meal. Either way, it is a rich, meaty, hearty stew stocked full of good nutrients. The really cool thing is I used a lower part of the front ham – the meat just falls of the bone! This is a super simple recipe made with simple ingredients… Massive taste!…
