So, it’s been quite a while since I have kept up with our bi-weekly blog. That said, I have been quite busy. First and foremost, I started a new book project on the importance of trade education. It’s now largely ‘done’ and going into some much needed editing phases. My hope is to share some snippets here to gather some feedback from this community… so standby for that.
On the other end of the spectrum, the podcast has been going great. I will list out some of the episodes below, but guests like Fred Eichler, Alan Probst, Joe Goodman, and a whole host of trapping legends and newbies have been gracious enough to join me and chat all things trapping.
We also helped defeat prop 127 in Colorado with a lot of hard work and dedication. I was lucky enough to go down and represent trappers at the Colorado Rendevouz this past August and hang out with some great like minded folks.
I’ve also had a pretty great year of hunting. I helped my buddies from the SoulSeekers nation fill a great bear tag in my back yard this spring, shot a nice fall bear at 15 yards, killed a good sized back country mule deer with my close friend, trapped an otter and beaver on opening day with my daughter, and still have late season archery elk left! I’ll be posting some writing around those adventures soon.
Stay tuned for some other things coming down the pipe as well!
Look forward to the new book! I share in your belief in the importance of trade education. We had a few great 1-2 year programs (vet, electrician, auto, etc.) in my county's public school system, but it wasn't promoted or encouraged as much as it should've been
