Greg '07

Epek is my all-time hunting buddy. Ever since I switched to archery I have spent many days in the hills equipped with archery equipment, actively engaged in the pursuit of big game. Out of all those days, only a few have been in the absence of Greg. We have been in my opinion a hunting match made in heaven. Our first trip together on the front yielded nearly 30 mature bucks, a herd of elk, three shots and 0 hits. Every time up since has been equally as eventful and has given us our needed "fix". He is always in the hills and kind of the inspiration for the year long theme of this blog.

I could devote this blog to glossing Greg and what he's done for me as a hunter, but I will highlight his amazing year.
Greggish Canyon: aka Greg's second home

He spent plenty of time in this wonderful piece of real estate (the majority of my bowhunting career has happened here) If you are lucky enough to know where it is, put it in your mouth, chew on it, go there, enjoy it. If you can't make it, I will post many photos of this place in the year to come.

Greg found the bucks. Scouted like crazy. Put up a murder stand and arrowed this hefty buck with his beat up trykon. An entire story in itself. Read about that here. http://www.hoyttoughbows.com/

This buck and the harvest story earned Greg legendary status on the discussion forums, and the rest of the hunting community.

It's hard to give this story the justice it deserves, but if Greg's hunt ended in late October it would have been a banner year. Didn't end though. He still had an elk tag and filled it like the coolest guy on the planet would fill his archery elk tag...in the middle of a rifle hunt while wearing orange, just in time for christmas. Check out this bull.


Good job big brother.
