The Heart of the Hunt
Hunting is about connection — to nature, tradition, and the stories shared around the fire.
As the season begins, non-hunting friends often ask, "Why do you hunt?" and new hunters inquire about the lifestyle and culture.
The most important aspect of the hunt is clearly the interesting people you meet around the campfire or fireplace at the lodge, individuals who live active lives and appreciate life's most basic aspects.
- discussions of fire, wind, water and earth
- the mountains, canyons, lakes visited
- the game seen and taken
- old friends hunted or fished with
- remembering those who are no longer with us
- the challenge and excitement of the chase
