Recently I headed into the badlands of Montana to scout new land for large velvet bulls. September is right around the corner and I was itching to get my eyes on some elk. Below is a video summary of my scouting adventure. [https://vimeo.com/103523758 w=580&h=440] For the full story on the trip, go to: http://yeticoolers.com/pages/blog/scouting-season/ […]
Its often adventure that keeps my fly fishing engine fueled. The exploration of wild locations drives me to wander areas where many rarely travel. I am not a fan of overcrowded rivers and would rather sulk in solitude amongst the steep mountains (even if I don’t catch a single fish). I have found that generally […]
About 5-6 years ago you would have found us skiing as much as possible, and one year I eclipsed the 100 day mark. We skied a lot. To say things have changed would be an understatement. With new found passions such as fly fishing and hunting, it’s made time for skiing quite limited. Enough was […]
When the salmon flies are out and the big trout are on the prowl life is good. Our latest film, BAREBACK RIDER documents a few days on the river with our good friends Dan “Rooster” Leavens and Gray Edmiston. From catching big, jumping browns to the guys eating handfuls of salmonfly nymphs this film has […]
After a week of subzero temperatures, we decided the conditions were perfect for coyote hunting. We met up with Matt Piippo of Predator Quest and quickly hit the dirt roads in the brisk -18F weather. The day turned out to be our best day coyote hunting to date, seeing a coyote on every stand. The […]
Montana was in the midst of one of the coldest stretches on record and Saturday was quickly approaching. With the big game season over it was time to start thinking about trying our hand at some predator management. Our good friend Matt Piippo had invited us to come coyote hunt and with the temps dipping […]
Elk hunting. It’s my passion and if I had to pick one hunt it would be a bowhunt for elk, in the mountains, during the rut. Again this year I was blessed enough to do just that. I won’t bore you with all the details but let’s just say I had my chance at my […]
Work, work, work. What many don’t realize is we don’t spend every day out hunting and fishing. Don’t get us wrong we spend plenty of time out in God’s country. The past week had been spent tirelessly staring at a computer screen for 12 hours a day, editing video, drafting emails, planning 2014, and editing […]
12:23AM – The glow of my computer screen reveals a map littered with steep faces, jagged peaks, avalanche chutes, and small alpine lakes. Since this time last year I’d been waiting to return these mountains. As we bounced up the rocky back road the anticipation built as steep faces grew from the thick creek bottom. […]
We drove into the sunset after enjoying a day of elk hunting with our friend Ryan. Our roadtrip east had begun. Images of big muley bucks clouded my thoughts, navigating through small towns, until finally reaching our destination at nightfall. We had seen small groups of mule deer off the road on the way in, […]
