DETONATION STUDIOS

A brutal storm hit us opening weekend but we didn’t let that slow us a down a bit. We kept our glass on the mountain and found em yesterday. A couple crazy wide open stalks and one of the best shots I’ve ever seen resulted in a pair of punched tags. Yep boys, we did er again... another hunting story to tell the rest of our lives. I live for days like this.

The mustache force is strong with this group. We sent it today and came damn close to punching some elk tags. Hiking 6 miles in the freezing country that is Montana was a tough go today. The frozen breath staches were on point!

There’s some moments in time on a river that will never leave you. This right here was the fish of the year for me. landed her first steelhead in our favorite state. Completely and totally unforgettable time spent together. As a tribute to my black Steve who I’m sure played a part in it (his first fishing trip and most favorite fish were steelies) we took a moment and a nip of whiskey for him and for the river and poured some of his ashes in..
It was a powerful sequence of events. I couldn’t imagine a better spot for part of him. Amidst hugs and tears we savored it and took it all in. Some days are simply better than others and this was one of the best days of my life.

Probably what the silvers see when I’m unbuttoning them. I wonder what the hell they think we are. It’s gotta be a trip to be a fish that encounters a human. *twell
