Unfailing Compass

After a rough day with the wind, my cousin made a comment that sparked just a hint of laughter from Ray and I as we trudged through the canyon’s vines and shrubs.  It had been a long day in which every direction we turned seemed to find us walking with the wind at our back.  [...]

Raining Rubber Ducks

I got a call last night from a friend who was pretty shook up as they had a limb come out of their Silver Maple tree for no apparent reason. No one really knows how old this tree is but it is beautiful and appears, on the outside, to be healthy. The reason Dave was [...]

Fuel For the Fire

I want to direct everyone’s attention to the newly created links page on Base Camp Legends. Sometimes, blog ideas are very hard to come by, but I can always turn to one of these blogs for a little fuel for my brain to get me headed in the right direction for a blog post. [...]

Stories From Elk Camp - Round 2

Well, yesterday I recapped my day hiking fruitlessly through some very rough country and John’s experience when he nearly tagged a beauty of a bull.  Well, we weren’t the only ones with stories to tell when we came back to camp that evening.  My cousin, Cody, was not to be outdone.

Stories From Elk Camp

On Wednesday, I decided to step out from behind the camera and do a little hunting of my own.  My original intent was to head into a canyon that I called in a nice bull a few years ago, but when I ran into another hunter near the canyon that informed me those were his [...]

My Words don’t Taste too Good

The trouble with blogging is that you leave your words out there for others to see how you’re responding to your own observations and intentions.  That came very clear to me this last Saturday as Sue and I spent another day looking for elk.

Oregon 2008 Archery Elk Hunt

Well, the trip I wait for all year long has come and gone much more quickly than I would have liked, but I’m left with enough memories to pull me through another eleven months before I can take the trip once again.

I’m alive

Here’s a quick update - just got back from my elk hunt this weekend and I’m still tired and sore - and I don’t have the oomph to post just yet.  Updates will come tomorrow!  So, for now, go check out Arthur’s blog I just ran across about the image we hunters portray.  I don’t [...]

Is There Honor Among Thieves or Liars

There is no lying as to how steep this is.

That might be a strange question to ask in a outdoor hunting, fishing blog, but I think it might be more relevant than we’d like to admit. I understand that the mafia has their own type of honor, which if I understand it right, amazes [...]

The Seven

I’ve got a very good friend that has a huge garage and all along one side is taken up with his arsenal. There’s his gun safe, reloading bench, and all his bullets, powder and shells. There’s no way he is going to be able to shoot enough to get rid of it all [...]
