Two things have prevented me from taking that first next step; chronology and time. Chronology could be handled through a series of short stories where the chronological order of the events was not so important, but having to take time away from a continuing adventurous and busy lifestyle has stopped me cold. I’ve made a couple exceptions in the past though; one for BC WILDLIFE RECORDS when I was asked to relate the story I entitled CATTLE KILLER for their annual publication way back in 1985 when the wolf I shot, the leader of that pack of 20+ wolves, turned out to be the largest ever taken in BC to that date and won the Trophy of the Year Award for their annual wildlife records publication. That wolf I had made into a full mount that lays in front of my wood stove and scares anyone who is not expecting it to be there. The other was much more recently, in fact just last year, when I was asked to write one entitled SURPRISE IN THE HAY SHED, a story about my encounter with a young cougar who had taken refuge from bad weather in my hay shed. I’m happy to say there was a happy ending for both the cougar and I in that one.
Life has been full of adventure and still is, but many such things are more personal in nature and of little interest to others outside my close circle of family, friends, and acquaintances, but they are pure GOLD memories to me.
Maybe the day will come but for now it is definitely on the back burner.
