Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole

Drive north from Jackson on Highway 89, into the heart of the National Elk Refuge. If you’re alert, if you know it’s there and you’re looking for it, you might see the museum. On the other hand, you might not, and that’s intentional. When my...

Jay Kemp Swinging for the Fence

“I don’t want to bunt every time. I’m going to swing for the fence.” Jay Kemp is explaining how his most successful painting came to life. He wanted to paint a big bull elk, he says, running a hand through his hair, green eyes looking beyond...

10 Best Hunting States Ranked

Road Trip Time! On a recent bird hunting road trip (yes, Mike was driving the truck in case you were wondering), I passed through South Dakota. It’s a great state with more ring-necked pheasants living there than people. WOW! There is also South Dakota’s Governor...

End of Bird Hunting Season

The end is near! OK, don’t panic hoomans, but the end of bird hunting seasons are near in some areas of America. My plans are to make a few more jaunts for grouse in the high country before snows up there reach waist-high depths. It will be cold in the high country,...
