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.

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.
