Off Season is in Full Swing

Well with turkey season behind us off-season is in full swing and now is the time to get "dialed" in with outdoor 3-D shoots. I am lucky enough to have a great archery league (Fort Collins Archery Assoc. http://www.ftcollinsarchery.com/) to shoot every Wednesday. Here are some pics from some of the first shoots.

I love this timeof year as the weather warms and I get a chance to perfect my bowand arrow combo!

Colorado Turkey 2008

A lot can be said about networking and meeting new people with similar interests, and the saying bodes true especially for the bowhunting community. Jace Bauserman, a fellow Wilderness Athlete prostaffer, Craig Stinehour (also fellow WA prostaffer and cameraman), and I joined up in SE Colorado for a dynamite turket bowhunt. There were tons of birds and Craig and I both killed nice jakes less than 30 seconds apart from the same and videoing each other's kill. It was a rush. The video was great, but what was even better was building a friendship with a new "hunting buddy" that I am sure will last a LONG time. Thanks to Jace and his family for their kindness and hospitality as they treated us like one of their own!

Colorado Mountain Goat

For over 7 years I have been dreaming and applying for a Colorado Mt Goat tag so I could bowhunt these remarkable creatures in the high (13,000' +) country of Colorado. I found out yesterday that I was successful this year and as of Sept 15th I will be chasing goats in the clouds with a bow.

For those who don't know how incredible this is, well just trust me this is a dream come true. It all started when I helped a buddy (Glenn Vlass) bowhunt his Mt Goat and I was hooked. Last year I helped my good friend Adam Wells a little and he also took a great billy.

I have videoed, written articles about, dreamt, and FINALLY now I will get to hunt these majestic white beauties. The pictures are of my successful draw notice and Adam's Mt Goat from last year.
