Hello HuntWA,
About six months ago, I started my umpteenth attempt to complete a life long goal. That goal was to write a book. I had always anticipated my first book would be a science fiction thriller, but instead I took a different path.
That path led me to write a memoir of sorts covering the journey Scott (FillTheFreezer) and I have been on the last five years as we began to learn how to hunt the backcountry.
The book is now complete and in the final editing stages set for a Spring 2019 release.
This book doesn’t exactly fit the mold of your typical hunting book. It is certainly not a how-to book (though our failures were incredibly effective teaching moments). It is also not a book that is cover to cover with notched tags (though there are those as well).
Instead, I wanted to write a book that conveyed to the reader, the sense of adventure, brotherhood, and enjoyment that comes from spending time in hard to reach places. It’s full of (mis)adventure, success, failure, and type two fun!
My hope is that our story inspires others to push themselves to do things outside their comfort zone, and to spend their time on Earth seeking the extra ordinary.
Thank you for the past, present, and future support!
The website is currently under construction, though you can find links to our Instagram and Facebook book pages (where I will/have been posting excerpts on a weekly basis).
Please share with your friends, and thanks again!

Is there going to be a book signing?
Congrats on the accomplishment! Looking forward to the read! :tup:

Thanks Danny!
Does the book signing entail going to the bar and buying me drinks? If so, then yes.

Just read the December blog post and it was awesome! Loved it. You were right over in my neck of the woods for that hunt. Next time you are this way you should hit me up and I'll get Mark (Pathfinder101) on board to meet up for a beer and BS session.

Cory, where’s your neck of the woods? I live in the Tri Cities now! I need to have @jackelope change my screen name to SilkOnTheEastSide!
Also, thank you guys for continuing to read and support. Hopefully going to have some less serious posts soon, as well as a mailbag edition.
I’m thinking “Drinking In The Backcountry” is an upcoming topic...😬😂

I'm a Walla Walla guy so we are practically neighbors now LOL. I too love writing and have thought very seriously about writing a book about my own adventures. I'm sure nobody would buy it but I think it would be cool to have on a coffee table in the man cave.

That wasn’t you I ran into up top while I was packing my buck out during the late hunt was it? Your wife had the tag and your buddy gave me a tailgate ride back to my truck?

Nope not me. I didn't make it out during the late season much. I was busy raking leaves and doing other lame household things. The fog was also pretty disheartening so I stayed home. Also, I did not have a tag so it would have only been to go up as a Looky-Loo.

Ya that fog was tough. When I shot my buck I was on Plan C for the morning. If you get over to the tri cities anytime soon look me up and we can grab a beer!

I should clarify that they didn’t finish already, but that I found a few really competent readers! 😆 I happen to think the book is pretty good, but I’m a suspect source. But if I don’t sell a single copy, it’s already been a resounding success in my eyes. Thanks again for the support Jerry!

Book update: Beta reading is almost complete for the first 50%, and changes there will be fairly minimal. I also sent out publisher packets yesterday. Even if offered, I’m not sure if I will take a publishing deal...but what a process this has all been. Look for a new blog post detailing the writing process coming soon.
Thanks again for all the support and please don’t forget to subscribe on the website (www.teambaddecision.com) so you can receive updates on new blog posts and pre order information!

Spent about twelve hours behind the keyboard yesterday after the beta edit reviews came in.
The first half of the book is COMPLETE, and the reviews from my readers were exceptional!
Thanks for the support!

Got the pictures added to the first half of the book. In my biased opinion, they really draw everything together.
