2018 was a good year but a tough year in several respects and I’m actually kind of glad this one is over with. Thanks to Lira I hiked close to 2000 miles this year and we managed to get out and do quite a bit of fishing and hunting, logging 108 days total in the water, hills or fields. I also somehow managed to build a boat for the sole purpose of taking her fishing with me since she coludn’t quite work out in a float tube. Catherine and I had a lot of fun spending many days exploring the Middle Fork Valley this year and also camping and hiking on the Oregon coast.

2017 – A lot of firsts!
My seasons of 2017 – spring lake rainbows, spring turkey season, tenkara trout, summer fly fishing, summer steelhead fishing, pheasant hunting, elk hunting, late deer season, chukar hunting
I can hardly believe that 2017 is drawing to a close already, where did it go? As I sit back and look over the year I realize that I have had one heck of a year with a lot of firsts. For the first year in a while health was just not an issue, as you can tell from my lack of health related blog posts, so it freed me up to get back into fly fishing, to really get into hunting and to finally reach my goal of stocking my freezer by myself. On top of spending almost one-third of my days in the field I was able to get out for daily hikes (and later runs) with Lira and still find time to work all year long.
