What’s up, my fellow bowhunting brethren? I’m honored to be given such an awesome opportunity to write about and share my experiences in the great outdoors. My main goal in my blogs is to grab your guy’s attention and stir that inner desire to get out and HUNT! Along with igniting that fire I would like to share some tips that could improve your chances of landing that buck, bull, or boar of a lifetime. With that, here is a little info about myself and family. I grew up on a farm/ranch in western N.D. which was an absolute blessing for me. With a bevy of big game species and rad territory to boot, even the most serious of big game hunters would find their hands full. Oh yeah, did I mention that the landscape and sunsets are pretty cool too?
I was very young when I first discovered my love for the outdoors and hunting to be specific. I can remember walking with dad in early September pursuing sharp-tail grouse and Hungarian partridge. The rich smell of the sage brush and the buffalo berries filling up my nostrils brings back memories indescribable. The AutoZone saying “not all happy ours happen in a bar” is probably the best phrase I can think of when describing my passion for bowhunting/hunting. It is truly my “happy hour”, my natural high. I am blessed with an awesome family as well. I’d like to thank my father. Without him I wouldn’t know the hundreds of knots an outdoorsman should know or the hundreds of tactics used to pursue certain quarry etc. Without him things just wouldn’t be quiet the same. I most definitely wouldn’t be the outdoorsman I am today. Of course there’s my mom who had and still has the patience of… well, a wary muledeer buck that is playing the waiting game. Man, there have been so many occasions where she could have simply lost it! Whether it was equipment laying everywhere, blood stained clothes, mud and silt on the rug, bloodied knives, and the list just goes on and on. Her patience is unfathomable.
Then comes my two older brothers. Neither a big hunter, but not being a hunter doesn’t take away their adventurous lust. Both have been to Europe and the eldest having hiked mountains in Oregon and Idaho not to mention the biggest surfing freak are family has yet to see. I mean seriously, who goes surfing off the coast of Oregon in October?
With that being said, I am looking forward to getting some sweet stories and sweet material out to you guys. Look for the next blog to consist of staying warm and staying as effiecent as possible during the most frigid of conditions. Bowhunting in August and September is quiet different than Oct, Nov, and Dec and being from North Dakota I’ve learned a few lessons on bowhunting in downright nose running wind chill factors.

looks you have have got it together and you seem to be a great writer. I look forward to reading your blogs in the future. check out my latest addition to the My 2008 Hunting season thread. I am in the process of getting the little guy hooked up to Bowcast. Hunters as young as him and as old as me can look up to you. Keep up the good work. You are helping the sport grow in ways that neither of us may be able to imagine!
