Growing up in Oregon's Wallowa County saw a childhood full of outdoor adventures. Working for ranchers in the Imnaha Canyon and hunting with my Dad certainly set the stage for my future. His ranch on the breaks of the Grande Ronde canyon also inspired my hunting passion for chukar, grouse and huge mule deer. My Dad took hundreds of 35 mm slides and, as a pilot, many pictures from the air. We converted his slides to digital, and many are displayed in this slide show.
