Campfire Camaraderie

Just as the campfire back at any hunting camp is the setting for many lively discussions, shared experiences, and riveting storytelling; this blog is designed to allow me to share with you all of my latest hunts, articles, video or TV projects, and all the other exciting things happening with me, Trevon Stoltzfus and www.westernbiggamehunter.com.

Family Photo


I just realized I have never shared the rest of my family with everyone. This is my lovely wife Sandy and my beautiful 2 year old daughter Avery. My wife is very supportive and Avery is a bundle of fun and I am very blessed to have them.

Wyoming Antelope and Elk 07






I just returned from filming a hunt for "The Best of the West" TV show (now airing on Versus at 1pm eastern on Mondays) in Wyoming with Matt Burch and Four Horse Outfitters http://www.fourhorseoutfitters.com/ where I was able to arrow a great antelope and then return for a rifle Mule Deer hunt. When I returned I was joined by another old bullriding buddy Owen Washburn (1996 PBR world champion) where he got to hunt both Antelope and Mule Deer. It was some of the best rifle footage I have been a part of and the TV shows we made should be AWESOME! (Look for them this fall)

It was great seeing and catching up with Owen as it had almost been ten years since we last saw each other. He is doing great now as he retired from riding bulls but owns his own string of bucking bulls and has a very successful bucking bull breeding program (http://www.washburnbuckingbulls.com/) Here are some pics of our trophies and I can hardly wait to do it again!

Colorado Archery Elk Hunt 2007


Sorry it has been so long since my last blog it has been crazy with all the filming of my hunts, writing, working on starting a new archery TV show (more news to come on that in the future!), working, and of course spending quality time with my family.


I have recently returned from an archery hunt for elk in Colorado where it was extremely special for various reasons. The first of which is I got a chance to reconnect with an old bullriding buddy Adam Carrillo (one of the founding members of the PBR and 12 time PBR finalist) where we both were bowhunting. Another is that I got to also hunt with my good friend Adam Wells. And of course the fact that the bulls were rutting and bugling was also awesome!


I was fortunate enough to take a great 5X5 on video with a great shot and he only went 3 steps and piled up on camera. We had a great crew and a lot of laughs around the campfire and as you probably already know that is as important t0 me as the kill! Here is a picture of the crew from left to right; me, Adam Wells, Craig Stinehour, Andy Thomas, Dell Burdick, and Adam Carrillo.
