Similar to you, I do some creative hobbies including fly tying, painting and taxidermy. I learnt through some Sally Dahmes WASCO videos and books. That was quite some time ago and now there are some good resources online to learn from, but it did take me quite a few heads to really understand...
I paint some (all wildlife subjects - just for myself) and enjoy wildlife art. A few I would add that haven't been mentioned:
Luke Frazier
Greg Beecham
Dustin van Wechel
Tucker Smith
Bob Kuhn
Kyle Sims
There are others that I really like, but these are high on my list.
Alberta Whitetail. Northern timber country meant a 2 mile pack out with fully loaded packs for 2 of us! Hard work and well worth it. At least we got away from the ATV crowd!
Took 11 years to get the draw in the zone I chose in Alberta. A good friend drew the tag 6 years ago and took a great 190 class deer. I spent 15-25 days scouting and bowhunting the area this fall but never did turn up a really old buck. Lots of deer and certainly some nice bucks, but nothing in...
Update for anyone looking for a similar boot.
I was looking for a cool/cold weather boot and told the OP the one I was leaning toward was the Hoffman Outback. Warm enough for a tree stand in late November (-5 Celsius or so) but still light and sturdy for hiking coulees, foothills and mountains...
Anyone know anything about these gummies? Just found out about this and don't know much about it. From the little I've read it is all natural and effective? Maybe - or is it snake oil?
I am looking for a boot in the similar range - a 'tweener'. I have cold weather boots and warm/cool weather hikers. I haven't made the decision quite yet, but pretty certain the Hoffman/Schnees style pac boots are going to fit the bill for me. I'm leaning towards the Hoffman Outback. Would think...

What a unique old deer! Heavy bases and a triple main beam! Beautiful animal.
...and thanks to everyone who shares their pictures. Buck or doe, it is really nice to see the photos.
Really considering these boots, but hoping for an opinion on their application for what I need.
I'm looking for a 'tweener' - I have boots for September/October Elk, Mulies, etc. Early season hikers. I have boots for really cold weather in October/November for Whitetails in -20 (Celsius) and...
Annual 10 day trip to northern Alberta for Whitetails. Got my buck (Darren - the top picture) early on day 2. He came by at 25 yards and, with the combination of brush and a gray morning, I had a difficult time deciding if he was a shooter - especially so early in our hunt. Score doesn't really...
On our annual 10 day Whitetail hunt in northern Alberta and had this beautiful guy show up on the morning of the 2nd day. Much too early(!) in the hunt but couldn't turn down this unique mature deer. 6x5 with 2 drop tines on his right side.
Crashed through the timber after the shot, ripping his...
