Someone You Know Will Be The..

Next Breast Cancer Survivor

Breast cancer is not the only disease taking friends and family away from us!  But it is one we are getting close to curing! Early detection is the key. Survival rates are getting really good when detected early. Please Help...the individuals and community is depending on us. We have all been touched by cancer in one way or another. Donate if you can, every little bit helps!

Why is this important? Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer mortality among women in developed countries (lung cancer is first).  I am fundraising this year to help provide a screening mammogram to an uninsured or under…

The Lochsa- More Than Rapids!

The Building Of Highway 12

& The Creation Of A White Water Mecca

The Lochsa Is God's Country!

Lochsa River Madness!

If you are new to Boise or thinking about moving to Boise Idaho, relocating to Meridian or anywhere near here the Lochsa is "Gods" country. I don't care if you are Buddist, Christian, Hindu or a Scientologist (is that a religion?), once your god see's The Lochsa he will claim it!

As a fourth generation Idahoan, my roots run deep in Idaho and nowhere have they had more time to sink into the soil than The Lochsa river drainage. One might assume it is because I am a rafter and it is a famous whitewater river that was made by nature and improved by man. It is one of Idaho’s classic white water runs that my connection starts…

Owyhee River Sagecats & Chukar!

Planning On Moving To Boise?

House Hunting

Or Bird Hunting

We Over Deliver

Every Time!

This year’s chukar season was great. The bird numbers were the best in years. The dogs did great. I did not even loose one this year! I found a bunch of new spots that I had not hunted before. It all bodes well for next year. Even with all the snow we had an excellent green up. All the birds I shot late season where chuck full of green grass. We even got a little late season big game surprise! Sagecats! With all the cold weather that we had in January there where a limited number of open areas to hunt. Typically a lot of the south facing hillsides melt, the birds and bird hunters alike congregate here. This year there was a limited number of areas that…

Steelhead Fishing Idaho- River By River!

Idaho's Steelhead & Salmon Runs!

Recovery..

It Is A Lot Of Work!

Thoughts on Dam Removal & Steelhead Fishing In Idaho!

One easy way the current administration could bring some sorely needed jobs to Idaho would be to recover the salmon & steelhead runs to Idaho's many rivers for fisherman and hotel owner's. A full recovery of the fish runs in Idaho, to near pre dam levels,  would make us the new Alaska, and a lot closer to home as well. It would also restore a great west coast salmon fishery to Oregon and Washington Coast! Alas, I fear that it will be 4 more years before any action is taken with the current state of affairs politically. These probably aren't the kind of jobs potus will think are important. In the mean time we get by with the…

Idaho The Whitewater State

Idaho- The Whitewater State!

Sign Up To Win Free AIRE Kayak!

With about a million miles of whitewater, Idaho has something for everyone. Here I will highlight a few of our family favorites!

Many think that rafting is just a thrill seekers sport packed with danger and fraught with death around every corner. And while it is true for the most difficult runs and at the highest flows, one only needs to check in at the put in for the main Payette at Banks to see it is a family sport! The gear has improved so much over the years with self bailing rafts and catarafts that cut through the waves like a knife through hot butter. In many cases they run themselves. Two different times I have lost an oar entering a particularly tough rapid on the Salmon river.…

Get Lost In It!

Top Owyhee Country Trips For A Day Or A Week!

Planning a trip into the unknown Owyhee desert country can be daunting. Before I started rafting and chukar hunting in this vast and often remote area I heard horror stories about the roads, the general inaccessibility of the area and conventional wisdom that told you… “Don’t go after it rains or you will never be seen again”, I assumed this was how the ghost towns came to be. As it turns out after 15 years I have yet to get so lost I did not find my way back, I only lost one hunting companion and that was only for 6 hours. Only once have I slid off the road into a barb wire fence! The Owyhee’s seem to be full…
