Ah, yes, those famous words uttered many many times by my very own father - and on more than one occasion, the answer was a resounding, “yes!” And then we three brothers were immediately sorry for getting under Dad’s skin.

Everyone has a bear story, everybody but me. Up to about five years ago when the conversation turned to bear experiences, I would have to clam up, because I had none, nadda, zippo. Once in awhile I’d look around to see who was present, and if I saw that someone I had heard tell a bear story was not there, I’d venture out and borrow it.

First off, I’d like to say thank you to the Idaho Press Tribune for running a piece about Base Camp Legends. I’ve included the jpeg image, above, of the newspaper page because the PDF file was too big - and I’m not in the mood to shrink it!

Well, my dad posted about the boat he remembers while growing up in Minnesota, so I thought it would only be fair to mention the boat I remember when I was growing up in Eastern Oregon. I’m not sure what kind of boat it was, but I do know that I always trusted it like I would trust a gold toothed bank robber.

Sometimes life shoots you a little curve and all you can do is smile and go on. I don’t know how long its been since I’ve really been embarassed, but a couple weeks ago I actually got caught in an embarrassing situation and it all started with my closet no less.

Jim Gaskins over at Jim’s Outdoor Blog was kind enough to send me a great story about the new Oregon state record for archery mule deer in velvet. This story blew my mind - because of the story behind the hunt, the size of the animal, and Jim’s creative …

We had another good fishing trip on the South Fork of the Snake, but the sun may have fried my brain, along with the lack of sleep that comes from a fly by night trip like this. Obviously something has affected me. I am usually not …
