To my dying day and last free breath, every heartbeat is for you…
There was nothing I could do to stop it from happening and nothing I can do to bring her back.
But I can honour her memory.
There will always be fresh flowers.
Always. 😢
Thank you everyone, for your kind words.
Many of you have asked what you can do in our beautiful Louise’s memory.
Instead of flowers, something close to Louise’s heart, which she supported generously, is the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation.
Baby and I just wanted to thank everyone for the thousands of condolence messages, the contributions to the Hospital Foundation on behalf of our beloved Louise…and to let everyone know that we are doing ok. ❤️🙏
Amazing footage!! Chris McMahon sent me this footage that his father Terry took of Chris freeing a “locked up” whitetail buck!!
He said that coyotes were already starting to feed on the dead buck when they got to the two deer.
Kudos to Chris and Terry for their good deed!!!
He’s BACK!!!
Last year, he was a 4X4 with two kickers. We found his sheds, so we know last year he would have grossed 162 with a 16-inch inside spread! And I’ve had him on camera since he was 3 1/2 years old! He’s 7 1/2 now!!
What do you think???
I think he’s an awesome deer!
LAST HOUR! LAST DAY!!
All I had to do was pull the trigger on my Excalibur!!!
But then I wouldn’t know what might STILL come by in the REST of this last hour!!! 🤷🏼
Good grief.
Sometimes, you just need to watch a cute movie (Yesterday) with your best friend…and drink homemade apple wine…from the bottle. 🤦♂️
And don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m actually smiling as I write this.
Good grief.
That’s exactly what it is.
It’s good grief. ❤️🙏
37 wonderful years ago, this Angel said, “I do.”
I was head over heels in love then and am even more head over heels in love with this beautiful, elegant and gentle Angel today. ❤️🙏
Louise would be happy to know so many of you have contributed to this cause that she held so dear.
Our angel is still bringing goodness and joy to this world. ❤️🙏

I ❤️ Country Living!
My home won’t suit everybody’s taste; it’s not a glass castle and it certainly doesn’t sit in a “posh” part of town….actually it doesn’t even sit IN a town!!
But it’s perfect if you love COUNTRY LIVING!!
Awww. ❤️🙏
I was scrolling through social and touched Louise’s page. My beautiful soulmate. 😢
I wish she could be with me on the CALL ME HUNTER book tour. I read it out loud to her. She loved it. My Louise would be so proud.
Date night!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that Nana Weezy is doing well. She gets fatigued and has to rest often, but she still does her Yoga and even hikes the hills a couple of times most weeks.
Stable and holding! Thank all of you for your prayers and best wishes! ❤️🙏
The BIG day!!
New treatment! Our courageous Nana Weezy is getting her new treatment, systemic radioactive Lutatheria infusion!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
17-years ago, I stood in front of the camera and introduced our new TV show, “Hunting Adventures!”
Now I’ve just filmed the intro for the last episode of that show!
Same spot. Same outfit.
It’s been an amazing journey!
CAN YOU IMAGINE!
Not being able to be a part of nature!
Not being able to live the “Field to Table” lifestyle!
Not being aware that those two options…are even a thing?
Sitting in the Portland, Maine Airport Embassy Suites bar, all alone and feeling sorry for myself. 🙄
So figured I’d at least accomplish something educational!!!
Favourite Canadian beer and favourite American beer!!
I detest bullying. I detest intolerance. I detest rumours and I detest how the “news” these days, has degenerated into a mud-slinging, self-serving orgy of half-truths and innuendo.…
The moment only a hunter can know; only a hunter can appreciate and understand. Life begats death and death begats life. It’s an undeniable reality that connects hunters with animals in a spiritual bond that was always, is always and will always exist.
BACK IN THE SADDLE!!
I refuse to let life go on without me.
So…spring bear season seems like a reasonable step to take in the living and life direction!

MEMORIES! 2023 Saskatchewan Whitetail Season!!
On stand all day, day after day, and didn’t take a buck!! And LOVED each and every one of those days! Each one was precious!!! ❤️🙏
Awww. ❤️🙏
Louise made the best salsa ever, but I didn’t realize she’d written her recipe out. Thank you Becky for sharing.
I know what I’ll be making for dinner tonight…and tomorrow and the day after!
Hanging at the Holiday Inn with my date!
In Vancouver today. Our beautiful Louise is getting the first of her new infusion treatments in two days.
I won’t lie.
The waiting. The worry. The unknown.
But now we are here. 🙏
Life rings aren’t always round with a hole in the middle. And you don’t always have to be in deep water to need one…you just need to be drowning.
CALL ME HUNTER, my novel, is my life ring.
This email just came from Simon & Schuster headquarters in New York…
Apparently, I’m not the fashionista I thought I was! So
@evashockey
ordered an entire new wardrobe for me! Good grief!
And she taught me a whole bunch of new words like “layering,” and “color pallets,” and “schackets!”
HOME!!!!
Or at least that’s the sand beach in front of my home here in Pinehurst, North Carolina!
Can’t wait to settle in and get a routine going!
Family! Food! Festivities! AND Fun!!!!
Here’s the question! Which buck would you choose if they both came out in daylight AND you had an either/or tag in your pocket??
25 years ago, we never had mule deer on our ranch! Now they are almost as plentiful as the whitetail deer!
This is all the reward I need for sitting seven hours on a cold whitetail deer stand! Experiencing this is truly knowing our ancestral soul!
Every single one of our ancestors shared this same spiritual experience.
LAST BUCK OF THE YEAR???
Looking like tag soup for me!!
But hunters are the eternal optimists!! I still have a few hours….
So you’re saying there’s a chance!!
Wojo rocks!! GIANT 409+ Mountain Caribou in full velvet! Thank you Wojo, for letting me be part of this amazing experience. We will all be eating like Kings tonight, and Wojo's family will eating like Kings all winter!

Views from the cabin!
Everyone’s idea of what is a great view differs. For some of us, a penthouse view of Central Park is to die for. Some of us think skyscraper skylines are the “be-all-and-end-all.”
No judgement, to each their own but for some of us THIS is a great view!
Oh ya!!! Now I’m excited!! Look who showed up on camera!!
I’m a sucker for old massive, dark-antlered 4x4s!
Now that I know he’s in the area, it will come down to time spent in the woods and luck! Oh, and he needs to stop being 100% nocturnal!!
That is one BIG buck!!!
Wojo just sent me a pic of this buck that he took on his cell phone, from his porch!!!
Not sure what it is about Saskatchewan, maybe it’s the water, but EVERYTHING grows BIG there!!
Did I mention that Wojo and I are both from Saskatchewan??? 😂
Happy Birthday to Nana Weezy!!!!!
Happy birthday to this kind, gentle, elegantly beautiful and genuinely good human being. ❤️🙏🎂
Silver lining…this is the first time for Nana Weezy’s birthday that we haven’t been on the floor at an outdoor convention!
After all the giant black bears I’ve guided clients to, over the last 30-ish years, this old old old warrior just showed up when I was actually the hunter! Definitely the biggest black bear I’ve ever taken, plus it is the first colour phase black bear I’ve put a tag on!
Happy FIRST DAY OF 2022!!
Nana Weezy and I wanted to let you know that we are good, we are living day to day, each one precious, each one a celebration and each one an adventure. ❤️🙏

No wide angle lens. No trick photography (photoshop to those born into the computer age). And no, I am not holding this set of moose antlers out in front of me! I would, but I can’t! Way too heavy!!!!

#MooseMonday
Congratulations to Al Semeniuk!!
Inspiration!
11th buck in 13 years hunting with us!! Al may be in a wheelchair, but that doesn’t stop him from living the “Field to Table” Lifestyle!!
We had this bull at 62 yards on the second day. I judged it to be an old bull, 64 inches wide and very heavy!
Now for the rest of the story … two weeks later, I had this same bull at 30 yards and did not turn him down! How wide do you think he actually turned out to be?
Rigged out and ready! Bring on the challenges!!!
Yep, I know. I’m totally spoiled. Super power Shelby Ford pulling a bad ass Off Grid Trailer, but in my own defence, it did take 40 years to get this spoiled!
