Scouting trip finds.  Definitely squirrels. The 7E Chronicles, sponsored by Gaia GPS (sign up here with a discount).   Camo gear provided by Under Armour Ridge Reaper ( shop here on Amazon ). I chose the Kachina Peaks Wilderness Hunt Area because it is somewhere that I have hiked and camped many times over my years in Arizona...I felt comfortable that I am familiar enough with the area that should I beat the odds and get pulled, I could at least hunt for the entire time without getting lost and dying in the wilderness.  But hiking Bear Jaw Trail and the Inner Basin Trail and exploring up a small cinder cone don't give me the area knowledge of the entire San Francisco Peaks to pull off an elk hunt without leaving the trails behind.  Scouting for a elk hunt takes dedication and effort.

Anyone who has been outside knows that nature is good for your. Whether it's curing cabin fever, helping reduce anxiety, or just reminding you to appreciate taking a moment to yourself, nature does wonders. Nature can also help those recovering from addiction. This post is from guest author, Michelle Peterson, who wishes to eliminate the stigma surrounding people who struggle with addiction. Her mission is aligned with that of RecoveryPride , which is to celebrate sobriety and those who achieve it.

According to AZGFD, I'm going hunting this year!  From now until my hunt this fall, I'll be posting regularly about the experiences from getting drawn for my first elk hunt (bull!!), to scouting and preparing, to the actual hunt.  Tune in for every installment of the 7E Chronicles!  Sponsored by Gaia GPS and Under Armour--featuring Ridge Reaper.
