"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

Here Kitty Kitty




    While helping Kade Wasden on a late season archery elk hunt, I cut this fresh cat track and so we threw out Kade's two young mountain cur hounds and all be darned they treed it. Brody was with us and got to shoot himself a cougar. Utah has made it open season on lions due to an over-abundance and our declining deer population.
