Hunting, Fishing, Adventure and "The American Sportsman"

[Vichris]

Some of you might remember an old show, aired in he 1960's 70's & 80 called "The American Sportsman". It was hosted by a sportscaster named Curt Gowdy. He was famous for a line he used on ABC's Wide World of Sports, "The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat". The "agony of defeat" was shown with a ski jumper in a devastating wipe out. My dad and I hardly ever missed The American Sportsman and the adventures they show cased. Most of them were hunting a fishing trips with famous people. Those shows instilled in me and my dad, a love of the outdoors and wildlife in general. I've been very fortunate to live and experience many of my own hunting/fishing/hiking/wandering/& photography adventures. Here are a few of them. Most of these hunting pics are archery kills. Most of the fishing pics were caught with fly-fishing tackle and released

Looks like you enjoyed a lot of hunting and fishing adventures. Did you travel around for your hunting grounds or stay local to a given area?

I mostly stuck to local areas. Most of those pics were taken in New Mexico. Some were taken AZ, CO, IA and MO. I have had many other adventures looking for reptiles (Herping) in AZ and NM, stargazing in the dark sky's of the desert, birdwatching all over, and simply going on hikes in state and national parks.
