All hail ye who breaks trail.* They find new lines up, and let mere mortals quiet their inner coward as we shuffle along the track. With immense gratitude we follow, offering up our most sacred of pocket snacks to the trail breaker. *@talongilli
If you caught the @wildsheepsocietybc’s Salute to Conservation over the weekend, you heard @bowhuntercam tell of a particularly special hunt. The tale included his brother-in-law, Landen Collins (pictured) who hunts hard, laughs often, doubles
Heading over to @wildsheepsocietybc tonight as they kick off their online Salute to Conservation! . 🔥There’s lots of knowledge to gain and stuff to win. Theres a @sitkagear Dew Point rain gear system in it for someone who donates/contributes
For many non-profit organizations depending on in-person gatherings to drive their funding, the last year has posed a challenging obstacle. This weekend kicks off @wildsheepsocietybc’s Salute to Conservation which is completely online and free.
When the @delormegps forecast says a slight chance of heavy snow or a high probability of light snow. Anyone know what the difference is?! 🧐🤷‍♂️ I was reminiscing about the season and, in all seriousness, it is remarkably valuable to get a bea
Where does sheep country end and goat country begin? I pondered the question as the snow fell, leaving the unravelling face below with a monochromatic look. An hour or so of glassing revealed two ghosts — nearly twins — bedded facing e

The 80/20 rule — Find someone who laughs at 80% of your jokes when less than 20% are funny. Got lucky with @mtbound and she’s still laughing (at me). 📸 @outsideandseek
When we started backpack hunting we didn’t have the greatest gear. Lots of fleece and heavy wool pants/gloves. If you got cold and wet, you threw in the towel. If the tent collapsed or you fell in creek, you quit. If you brought the wrong food
Tonight, I’ll be a telling a semi-true hunting tale for @backcountryhunters campfire stories at their virtual Winter Extracvaganza. It’s free to check out and kicks off at 6pm MST, storytelling starts at 7:40pm MST. More info in my stor
