A few years back, I talked about the 2009 Station Fire and how it affected hunting for me. For those who don’t know or remember, the Station Fire burned 160, 477 acres, which equates to roughly 251 square miles. That was one of many wildfires that year. It took homes,…

The San Gabriel Bighorn Sheep Survey is coming up March 5th-6th and they need volunteers. I have participated in this a couple times and it’s not only a lot of fun, but it’s great to meet new people. The last time I went out was in 2013 (see my recap…
For many of us in SoCal, deer and bear seasons have just begun or will hit on September 5. Are you ready? I don’t just mean have you been shooting your bow and driving tacks at 60 yards. I mean are you ready mentally, physically, and do you have a…
Each year, I mentally create a set of archery and bowhunting goals for the year. Most times I will refine them and post them here. It has taken me longer than normal, but I have my goals ready to share with you all. If you have followed my blog over…

Last Saturday morning, Brett and I hit the road early to beat the holiday traffic and get to our scouting spot before sunrise. We had been told for months that our hunting area was now accessible via vehicle as the gates were open. It seems as though the US Forest…
Over the weekend I was pondering many things. Would we see deer on our deer scouting trip? Would I be able to get everything done around the house that I wanted to? How were people remembering our fallen Veterans? The one thing I was not thinking about was my own…
My recent post for PSE Archery.February is typically a month where we feel deprived of hunting. There is a void in our lives as not too many are out actually hunting, but more so just thinking about it and how they can’t wait for deer season to roll back around.…
