I've recently struggled with the idea of hunting, but thanks to the refreshing perspectives of Joe Rogan and Donnie Vincent, I've turned a corner in understanding what hunting is.

2010 was a year I'll never forget.  I not only harvested my first mature Blacktail, but I learned that my energy in the forest may actually play a much larger role than I ever before realized.

While hiking over 30 miles in the fog isn't what most people call ideal fun, I've learned to love my experience on the Loowit Trail and wouldn't trade it for the world.

The wise words of an old elk hunter, an inopportune misfire, and last day success, sum up my 2014 hunting season.  I'd learn more about myself in one season than I could have ever anticipated.

Looking back on my 2015 experiences, I can't help but think of how many lessons I came away with.  Narrowing them down to 5 is going to be tough, but I'll do my best.  

When things don't go as planned, remaining positive for the benefit of yourself and others around you is more powerful than you think.
