But after I force them to try a bite, I usually hear "oh.... that is actually really good!"

Wild game can be difficult to cook without the know-how and the lack of a good recipe. So that is why I pulled my Top 50 Recipes that I use on a regular basis and shared them all with you!

A Brush With Death- A Grizzly Bear Hunt Behind the Lens

For as long as I can remember, grizzly bears have fascinated me. To me, they embody the Great Alaskan Wilderness in its rawest, purest form: massive, resourceful, unpredictable, and demanding respect.

Whats My Story?

Let me explain myself.... When I turned 40 I had a "mid life adjustment", i'm not calling it a crisis haha. I decided to change my life drastically! I have been in the business world for over 20 yrs and just decided to get out of that world and live life the way I want to live it! Which is going on as many epic hunting adventures as I possibly can!

Another big plan of mine is to stay as fit as I can to be able to hunt the way I want to hunt (which is typically the more physical backpacking hunts) until i'm 80!

I am documenting my journey to hopefully bring you value through entertainment, education, and inspiration.

I hope you enjoy watching my "midlife adjustment" as much as I am living it!
