I haven't posted any new artwork on the Campfire in quite some time. A friend reminded me of this the other day. In fact there is likely a good percentage of regulars here that have no idea that I am an artist. I used to specialize in big game related art, but the last few years I've been doing...
This is awesome. I had a similar experience with a guy I took fishing in Montana. It had been a life long dream of his to fish in Montana. I took him, he had the time of his life. A few months later he passed away from cancer. His wife said right up until his last day he talked about what a...
I can relate with how you feel. If I were younger I would find a way to stay. At my age I'm afraid that ship has sailed, but at least I can still visit Alaska from time to time.
I had a very good summer and was super spoiled by being able to go to Alaska for a few days.
This yellow eye was a bucket list fish. These fish are very old and we were only allowed to have one. I was grateful to catch one as many people on the charter boats never had a chance at one.
I felt...
I know I have been posting a lot of videos lately, but the truth is I only video a tiny fraction of what I do. So hopefully y'all don't mind a few pics from this summer. Most of the fish were caught using jigs, but the cutthroats were caught using flies and a fly rod. Hope you enjoy a few pics...
My wife works as a nurse in an extended care facility. My fear is to die in a place like that as opposed to face down in the snow with a rifle over my shoulder.
I'm not going to argue that exploring the mine was totally safe. It wasn't, but a good percentage of what I do in life isn't overly safe. I teach school for a living on any given day a student can go mental and show up with a gun. I also spend the majority of my free time off-road, off grid, in...
The good news that I didn't include in the video is I followed the creek down the mountain a ways and found a secluded pond full of fish that I didn't know about. So fish were found, just not in the mine.
When you hear a rumor about fish or game in an unusual place, if you are like me, you have to go look. I can't help myself, I just have to see for myself. Sometimes it leads to a bounty and sometimes it leads nowhere, but it's always better to find out first hand. Come along on this latest...
The rumor was there were trout in there. It’s cold enough but the insect base would be limited. However I’m pretty sure a smallmouth bass or two could survive pretty well in there with all the crayfish.
