The family road trip has been planned for over a year now and with each month the anticipation grew. We would leave from Paso Robles, CA and make our way through a number of stops: The Grand Canyon in Arizona to river raft; Moab in Utah to off road and mountain bike; Kessler Canyon in Colorado to bird hunt and fly fish and T55 in Wyoming to hunt antelope and mule deer. Honestly, the school year beginning has left me ragged with all of the events to fit in my schedule. The kids too were exhaus...

This whole experience started with me telling Brenda that while I was staying in town for a few days, I would like to go to the factory and work. I really wanted to give back in a tangible way. I was ecstatic when her excitement matched mine and we immediately began planning my day at...

The women held the rifles and not just any, but the Vanguard Camilla in .308 WIN. The game was plentiful, but challenging to get close range. We had sighted our rifles in at 200 yards but ended up taking some long shots successfully. We had practiced standing shots with sticks, hoping that we’d have the ch...

The first week of June, I was off to beautiful Montana, exploring the solitude of the mountains. Along with our guides from Mossback Outfitters, Willie was our local escort. The wild flowers were stunning and the grassland expansive. The bears were plentiful and watching them was amazing to behold. They emerged from the tree line near the cliffs to turn over rocks looking for grubs. What leisure lives they lived (at least in the summertime). If they were startled, they would find solace on...
