Swans and the Swan Mountains. Can anyone tell if they are tundra or trumpeter swans?
Early morning cardio workout as done in November
Many hands make light work.
My old friend @sthompsonmt and I have packed meat off this one particular mountain for 32 years now. The mountain is getting steeper and our knees are not as hardy, but we still can get it done with smiles on our faces. Thanks amigo.

I've been thinking about my recent #elk #hunt with my 90-year-old father. I dredged up this old snapshot of one of our hike-in archery elk hunts in #Idaho. This would have been 1987 or so. I would have been 19. Dad took me on my first backpack hunt w

The race is on. We have a bonkers skookum huckleberry crop in the high country -- but the forecast is calling for snow at elevation tonight. I took this picture Tuesday evening, but will they still be there when I get back? Who is #gathering and #for
Work before play, dad always said. Sure sign of the end of summer. Firewood season.
Exploring western #massachusetts with Mik and Pascale. This is a big-ass sycamore tree said to have been alive during the colonial era. I didn't have my increment borer or a d-tape, but it is an impressive specimen.
Cool ride.
