 Tools of the Trade
While working in what my wife calls the "sporting goods department", but I call a garage, I received a phone call the other day. "He’s out playing with his toys, hang on" I over heard her say, as a bodiless hand thrust the phone at me through the cracked door. Muffling the receiver I yelled in pointless defense, "This is gear. Toys are for children."

 Elk versus Horse: My Thanksgiving Experience
After two hours hunting from the woods near the back of my house outside rural Wildhorse Plains, Montana, I was able to claim my first six by six bull elk. After catching the trail a quarter mile from my backdoor on Thanksgiving morning 2007, I trudged up hill for two hours gaining ground on a solitary large set of elk tracks in six inches of new fallen snow. After hiking an elevation of about 1,200 feet and passing over the saddle of the mountain range that overlooks my house, I was feeling like giving up the chase and taking the old logging road on back down to the house to join my family for a ten o’clock breakfast.
