    Hammy’s First Antelope Hunt

    Dad and I finally cashed in our points for Wyoming this year and went on our first antelope hunt. It was absolute blast. Far different than most hunts we do, i would say but it was a welcomed pace. Never have passed on so many legal animals and made so many stalks in my life, I have a...

    Hammy’s Spring Bear Hunt

    To say it was “good to get up in the mountains” this spring, would be a huge understatement. Spring time in the Wallowa Mountains of NE Oregon is perfection. The new growth of wildflowers and budding vegetation, the wild swings in weather will have you huddled under a tree next to a camp fire...

    Hammy’s WA Deer Season

    My son’s first deer hunting experience was a success in many ways and I could not be more happy or relieved. I applied for this deer tag in eastern Washington this spring in hopes that if I drew it, it would provide a quality experience for him due to the non existent hunting pressure on the...

    Bucket List

    My dad and I have each shared the same dream, since I can remember, to venture on a backcountry elk hunt by horseback and hunt bugling bulls in the Rockies. When my dad retired a couple years ago, we made plans to check this trip off the bucket list. For almost three years, we anticipated the...

    Hammy’s 2020 CO Hunt

    Late to post but wanted to share one of my favorite hunts from last fall. What a great trip with my dad and best bud, Cory. Dad and I cashed in our points after years of building points and Colorado did not disappoint. Between the deer hunting, exploring new country, the nice people we met...

    CO 161 3rd Season

    Excitement has set in now that it is official my dad and I drew unit 161 3rd season. I did my due diligence prior to applying for this unit in the sense that I got good feedback from the CO Game Manager, Jacob, the unit checked a lot of my boxes from scouring go hunt, google earth, CO deer herd...

    Hammy’s Oregon and Idaho Elk Hunts

    After dad and I realized that we did not draw any special tags in WA and OR this year, our plans fell to OTC, as they often do. But I also had been researching options in Idaho, something that I’ve wanted to do for quite awhile. Dad and I bought our annual OTC archery tags for Oregon and got...

    Hammy’s First Muzzleloader Bull

    All the cutting and wrapping of a few hundred pounds of elk steak, roast and burger is complete and with the slam of the chest freezer, i feel extremely blessed. There are a multitude of reasons for feeling this way but to start, this hunt almost didn't happen. As the draw results posted in...

    First Spring Bear Hunt

    Worked my butt off for 5 full days in NE Oregon, hunting the south side of the Wallowas, to fill my first spring bear tag. Hunted three days with my dad and two solo in some incredible country that was full of wildlife, blooming vegetation, bi polar weather and a relaxing stillness that I have...

    My Dad's 2016 Black Bear

    Late October this fall, my dad and I had just gotten to our glassing point at first light, when he glassed up a lone bear feeding about 450 yards, near the top of the clear cut we had walked into. We had the wind right, being at the bottom of the cut but to get closer would mean trying to...

    Hammy's 2016 Elk Recap

    I had a really enjoyable time this fall with my dad and best bud, Cory. As hard as we worked to fill our freezers full of organic deliciousness- it didn't come from filling our elk tags. Our bow hunt in eastern Oregon was incredible but frustrating. It seemed like every day we would close...

I work as a firefighter in my hometown, love any excuse to spend time on my public lands and look forward to learning...
