Outdoor Dads - Idaho Quail Hunt

My good friend Marc Warnke and I each have kids of similar ages. He has two sons (4 and 1) and I have two sons (7 and 4) and a little girl (2). We are both pretty committed dads, but there is always room for improvement, so we decided to make an obligation to get [...]

A Hun Story

I just got back from South Dakota releasing Hungarian Partridge and doing some habitat management. If you’re wondering why we need to release Hungarian Partridge in South Dakota when we have so many pheasants, I wonder that myself sometimes too. But seriously, we are just trying to make our already outstanding bird hunting even better. [...]

Cory’s Idaho Archery Bull

This is a re-post from when we didn’t have many readers.
I was excited about elk season this year. I hunted the first few days pretty hard and passed up a few cows and small bulls, but it was pretty slow compared to last year. On the third day, we got up early and worked a [...]

Astronaut Bear Dies On First Mission

Somewhere in Minnesota on July 21, this bear was spotted sporting a jar on his head. Now I know that bears are smart, but I didn’t know they were capable of aspiring to such heights as role-playing. This bruin obviously wanted to be an astronaut… now that’s a lofty goal.
Unfortunately though for the bear, [...]

Javelina Hunting… Harder Than Expected

While we were living in Tempe, AZ, Coletti and I applied for every hunt that we could. I drew an archery javelina tag and she drew a premium late mule deer tag on the Arizona Strip unit 13B… go figure. Like they say, life isn’t fair.
The javelina hunt was in January, so I had a [...]

Took the Kids Fishing

Yesterday we took our kids fishing with Marc Warnke and his family. The weather was great, the fish were biting and we had a great time.
Here’s Coletti and Webb reeling in a big one.
I’m trying to get Webb to give me a “high-five”, but he’s too busy mugging it up for the camera. He [...]

Marc Warnke

A good friend of mine, Marc Warnke has recently written a great book called ONO - Options Not Obligations. I am in the process of reading the final draft before it goes to the editor and I think it’s going to be big. I have been helping him build his website(s) and his blog. I [...]

We have 1700 trees to re-plant There are approximately 30,000 trees in all, but we are re-planting the ones that have died. The species of trees include: chokecherry; nanking cherry; cherry; [...]

Wolfe Group… PARTY TIME!

We donated this hunt through the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Dan Wolfe bought the hunt at the auction and brought six of his frieds. We would like to thank Dave Brucken of RMEF.
We had a lot of fun and the hunting was smoking hot! Just look at that pile of birds in that picture. We [...]
