I decide this year to start training for a 8k and then a 1/2 marathon. I have never been much of a runner, but I figured this would be a good way to be in shape for hunting season. So, off I have gone on the running trails around Redmond, OR. I have great respect...
I was pretty pumped this year for archery season. I had shot a lot of 3-D shoots and felt pretty good about my abilities this year. My confidence was up, since we had been busy in years past working on building houses, but this year we got more time to shoot. We...
We had been anticipating our trip fishing for the past year, since we had so much fun the previous year we decided to book the trip annually. I checked the weather report and it showed snow over the pass and rain on the Columbia. We all layered up in warm gear, I...
After a wild night at the local Rocky Mountain Foundation dinner, my husband and I ended up with a sage rat hunt. I just couldn’t be outbid, but I had no idea what I was really bidding on. Since I was up against all the men, I just decided to put up a fight. So, we...
I looked out the door at 4:30am, and knew that with the stars shining bright and moon radiating the dark sky; it was going to be a beautiful day. We had a long drive ahead of us, but it was all going to be worth it if I could shoot my first pheasant. Since I just sold...
My husband and I always take the first two weeks of archery season off work, so we can get the upper hand on the animals. This year however, Darren had to work out of state the first week, so he didn’t even get to hunt, and I ventured out on my own. We had been...
The excitement was building, as we had been anticipating our trip to Alaska for a while. It was a major task just getting my husband to agree to the trip, since we didn’t want to step foot on a plane. I figured if I booked a late night trip, he could work for the day...
I just found out I will be going to Alaska in July. I am looking forward to it, as we will be fishing for Silvers, and hope to do a bit of Halibut fishing as well. I am anxious to get up there and I plan on bringing back some good stories and even better photos. ...
A few months ago we booked a sturgeon fishing trip at the sportsman show. I thought it would be fun, but wasn’t overly excited about it. As the days grew closer to the trip, I grew a little more excited for it. I really didn’t know what to expect. We...
I was all ready to go by 9am. My husband got home around 10:30am. The group was scheduled to meet up at the local snowmobile shop by 12 noon. My husbands boss, Matt, held up the trip by arriving 2 hours late. We were all chomping at the bit to get out of the starting...
