My First elk and first mule deer.  Taken in GMU 39 in Colorado hunting near Mt Evans.  Shot both animals off your shooting sticks and loved the product and the confidence it gave me for the shot.  

 I had really only hunted whitetail in South Texas out of blinds and tripods where its easy to have a solid rest.  Hunting out west, I quickly saw you needed to have a way to get a quick shot in versatile terrain and the sticks made for an excellent rest all over the mountains.

A successful hunt begins with thorough preparation,

Kodiak, Alaska--that wondrous mystical island home to the largest brown bears in the world--became my home for an early spring bow hunt in 2012. My #1 bucket list hunt began as a dream that eventually evolved into a reality. For years I read about other hunters, looking at their pictures in magazines as they smiled behind their big bears. I wished it could be me. But I wasn’t sure if I would really be able to make it happen. But, as you can see, that’s me in the picture. Me! I did it! The brown bear in the picture squared 9’6,” scored a 28 5/8” (green) skull, and has superb dark fur that will make a magnificent standing mount. Good thing I have a vaulted ceiling in my man room.
