My wife bought me a journal a few years ago. Its one of those simple black hardback types filled with blank white pages. Her request was simple - write down your hunting adventures. I did as asked. These stories are in no particular order. Some are recent pursuits in Wyoming or Nevada. Others tales are teenage quests in the Cascades of California inspired by the story of Ishi. There's no embellishment or stretching of the truth, as seasoned hunters will see through false claims and fantastic shots - although I made a few incredible shots! My life is blessed with good luck: lucky shots, lucky tag draws and luck afield. Tales of successful pursuits are between these pages - other treks and successes are lost to time. I avoided recounting hundreds of unsuccessful trips afield as the reader is interested in success. Age is eroding my memory. Years ago I had the forethought to write hunting notes on the back of mounted antler plaques. One day I knew those facts and accounts, although brief, would jog my memory. Ink and pencil notes proved to come in handy! Editor's Note: This title is a published excerpt from Stolen Hunts by Luis Doss PhD.
