Well, figured that posting up a semi-live formatted DIY hunt from last fall would be a good way to introduce myself as a lot of the Western seasons are now (or will be soon) in full swing. The lull between the anticipatory posts about the hunt and the story-telling posts about the hunt has begun.
Quick introduction of myself: Gabe Karns, live in Columbus OH as of 4 months ago working with Ohio State as a wildlife researcher. Lived in Auburn, AL, and North Carolina before that. Feet planted firmly in the East, heart dwells in the West.
Maybe this will help pass the time for those of us not fortunate enough to be in the backcountry right now. Caution: there's enough here to keep you occupied for hours, so proceed with caution. Enjoy.
Because of the immense amount of content, I'll just post links for each day's account and include a few pictures along the way.

Hope you enjoyed reading about our 2012 hunt 1% as much as we did living it. What a great time it was and always looking for the next opportunity to head West and head high...
