Keep the Wild in Your Heart
The piercing wind and horizontal rain bit into me. The cliffy slopes that I now stood above had robbed my legs of their spring. The biggest theft of all, however, was of the view. The weatherman had lied to me again, and the mountain storm had crowded into my goat basin. Sitting in the fog, I knew I had been defeated that day, but I vowed I would be back.
Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, I’ve become used to the adversities that are a part of high-mountain living. From fond memories while tagging along with my dad, to daily meals on the table, hunting and outdoor activities have always been a big part of my life. The passion for pursuing game, and the enjoyment that time in the wild provides, has inspired me to make it a main focus in my life.
I am truly blessed with the opportunity to hunt many species virtually at my doorstep. From majestic sheep and goats, to rutting elk and valley bottom whitetails, I am in a hunter’s paradise. I also strive to take full advantage of outdoor opportunities outside of my home valley. Stone sheep and mountain caribou are in the plans, coastal fishing trips are a family tradition, and prairie mule deer are truly a favorite.
I want to invite all of you along as I write about my adventures in the west. I plan to not only entertain you with exciting stories, but also engage you with knowledge and insight that I have learned from living in the Rocky Mountains. More than just an account of the events, I want you to live the hunt, feel the emotion, learn my trials, and gain the same passion that I feel.
Keep the wild in your heart.
A true huntress, loving the outdoors and the animals you hunt!
You are so inspiring! Can’t wait to read more !
