"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ---Theodore Roosevelt 1910

Ohio Whitetails 2019


I took Bron with me this year hunting on Carson Palmer's farm with fellow coworker Gene Price.
Bron didn't draw a deer tag in Utah so he was was super excited his first deer was an Ohio whitetail.
We both killed the same night out of different stands. I was in a ladder stand hunting over our new Cherry Bomb deer attractant that we came out with and Bron shot his buck over Cherry Bomb while sitting elevated out the back of an old tobacco barn. We both came back to the lodge with bloody arrows. My buck I self filmed it. Pretty awesome! It was a great week in Ohio despite how sick I was feeling with stomach pain. I prayed really hard to just get me home on the last day and as soon as I walked in the door Tara took me to the ER in Gunnison and they rushed me to Provo Hospital for an emergency appendectomy.
