After 15 years that started with the Remingtons over at Skinny Moose, I am finally on my own. I wanted to give shout-outs to Kevin Paulson over at https://huntinglife.com/ and the web team over at https://www.webb4biz.com/ for getting me going with my brand new site! I have my own domain, and this site is all…
None of us do as much as we really can, but I like to think I am a thoughtful conservationist. As ethical hunters and anglers, we have an ethical obligation to be good stewards of resources. There are too many legitimate causes and concerns to jump on every bandwagon, but I try to thoughtfully participate…
I can’t thank Heather Smith from Heather Smith Outdoors enough for taking the time to answer some questions for my readers. I’ve interviewed Heather before, at my old site. Heather is savvy, beautiful, the epitome of professional, an amazing mother and can fish circles around most of us. I can’t think of a better role…
I follow Sergey Khromukh on LinkedIn and Facebook. He is an Outfitter in Russia. I love his photos and of course, the idea of hunting in other countries. Sergey was kind enough to answer some questions. We have not met personally but I can tell by his content that he is a stand-up guy and…
A huge shout-out to Kim from Firefly Publicity for always including me in her campaigns and graciously providing samples whenever I’m interested in doing a product review. For this review, Kim provided me with a pair of Irish Setter’s 7″ Pinnacles, and they did not disappoint! From Irish Setter’s Press Release: Irish Setter® Pinnacle boots feature…
Wow – it’s been a minute! Upgraded my site, then Life happened. Not to worry, I have some great content in the queue. Interesting interviews, some cool gear reviews, maybe a personal adventure or two and info about some great companies, orgs and happenings!
I connected with Rick Phillips from Arizona Sport Fishing on Instagram, and he jumped at my offer to share a trip with him, so I could profile his outfit. The “hot” season for stripers seemed to take a little longer than usual this year to reach peak, but finally we were able to get out…
When I was in the northeast, I never hunted doves. When I moved to Arizona, I took it up. Dove hunting, to me, is one of those hunts that is more about the tradition, than the actual hunt. Opening day of dove season brings new hunters and infrequent hunters out in droves, along with the…
So, I’m guilty, even though I know better. I am not a “hard core” environmentalist per se, but sustainability is important to me, because usually – it makes sense. I’m even working on a “Sustainability Credential”, associated with my career field. But plastic water bottles are soooooo ingrained into our everyday life. Full disclosure –…
I remember the day I picked her up. A dear friend and colleague had approached me about adopting her brother’s dog. A purebred German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) named Raven. Her brother’s life circumstances had changed and he needed to get Raven into a good home. I agreed. Raven jumped in the truck and took her…
To non-hunters, it is very counter intuitive to think that regulated hunting actually contributes to healthier animal populations, local economies and conservation overall. Particularly in Africa, there is a ton of data that shows the benefits of hunting; and the detrimental effects of banning hunting. Many of us know, or have experienced the vitriol and…
