We brought Sage home on a frigid February evening.

She was an undocumented border collie from a nearby Montana ranch, but destined to become my coyote hunting partner.

Deer season had just wrapped up. Fur hunters were out and about. Not only had the local coyotes felt the sting of several near misses from anxious deer hunters, but now they were hearing sounds of wailing wildlife every weekend. Even fur hunting pros were out calling my area.

Hunting mule deer in hell is no joke. Hell’s Canyon in western Idaho is the deepest canyon in North America. And it hides some big mule deer. Join us as we look for them.
