Surrounded WOLF! There is something about that word that reeks of wild places and lonely dark nights by the fire. The image of a dark wolf vaguely seen at the outer limits of the firelight, or the sound of a howling pack hunting in the night must have some kind of an atavistic memory in me because it somehow makes me feel vulnerable and alone.

Successful Muley Archery Hunt My husband and I always take the first two weeks of archery season off work, so we can get the upper hand on the animals. This year however, Darren had to work out of state the first week, so he didn't even get to hunt, and I ventured out on my own. We had been getting a lot of promising pictures on the game camera, but none came in while I was there that I wanted.
