Making memories with this crew

The dogs worked hard for this one. One of the biggest inspirations for me is watching good hounds work. Listening to them work a cold track for miles til they jump the cat and still have the endurance to out run it and make it climb.

Some days things don’t work out the way you think they should and sometimes that’s ok…

I can see why they call it “coon eye”….. Another one tried his hand at getting a chicken but we put an end to that real quick

The best first lion of the year! Since my good eye is now sealed shut and my other eye is still recovering from being smacked by a bear, I could only hope to find a cat pattern as I couldn’t see detail in a track. We got lucky and found as fresh a trail as possible. The cat was barely 100 yards away and after a short sprint he treed close to the road. I love hunting with my kids ❤️

Watching whitetails ❤️ the rut is definitely on now!

Wolves! 😳 what would you do?? I was preparing to put my dogs down on a cat track when the whole valley lit up

This snow has me excited to get after some cats again!

No bears today but we had a good run with some beautiful views 😍

Bear #37 for this year. The dogs know when I’m injured so they bring them to the edge of the road for me… 😉

I think he likes me but he’s still not sold on the hat…

The dogs put the boots to a couple bears yesterday. It was pretty cool to watch them dig a bear out of the creek where he bayed up and make him climb… that is until he tried to bail the tree…. He jumped over the hounds and caught me square in the face. Once again my nose is broken and I have a pretty shade of purple slowly encircling my eyes…

Squirrels!!!!!! How can creatures so small sound so big? Shhhhhhhh you little buggers

Catching bears 😎

This was a pretty cool find this morning. I was out hunting elk and came across them right where I was sitting last October at the end of elk season. I’ve never found a set before

Nothing baffles these hound pups more than being steamrolled by the house cat 😂
