- mostly passive photography of animal bones and skulls; I do very little collecting except shed antlersÂ
- generally no blood unless it’s something I’m butchering or it’s just really fresh
- meat-hunter when in season; I will post about my take if I tag outÂ
- I do not sell any animal products at this time

It's antler season, even if we do find mostly whites!
Out and about in the winter sunshine; wasps often nest annually in skull cavities. One reason why I don't put cow skulls in my backpack :p
Gonna see if this works.
Doe skull found while hunting. This year's elk take story under the cut:
Blog not dead I promise but mobile isn't letting me post pictures for whatever reason and computer download/upload is spotty and slow. Hopefully soon that'll resolve!

Do you have instagram?
Not really. I have one sitting around for VC content but don't update it at all right now
Got a slightly disconcerting pair of images last night from the drive home- the buck wasn’t nearly as off-putting IRL as he looks here, but my camera hates low-light and it was also through a windshield.Â
The scorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes
It's raining today, and that is cause for joy.
Coyote skull from a recent hike. They're plentiful in the area and got fat and fluffy this past year!
Life loves death in the desert! Probably a winterkill doe from 2018 or 19. The bones will continue to function as a slow-release water and nutrient reservoir for the next couple years.
All mule antlers, right and left side. Our deer make some funky shapes! No shame on solid white sheds, they're a ton easier to find than browns.

Saw it from a distance, hiked a long way for it. What we call "solid white," as it's sun-bleached but not yet going to chalk. The yellow flower is a biscuit-root of some kind.
precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saintsÂ
Another horse, not sure how this one got here though! It’s way out of the way compared to the others. I’ve asked around but no one seems to remember needing to put a horse down when out in this area, and it’s been 50 years since the last managed mustang herd.
Horse skull.Â
I can pretty much guarantee I knew this horse. Don’t know which one it was exactly because our ranch manager tended to hide them, but I knew all the horses. If the skull looks a little blown up... well. A bullet is fast, cheap, effective and humane. Some folks for a while got the idea that if they gave a horse away as a gift to a ranch, it would somehow be magically retired off to green meadow hills to live as a pasture pet for its last ten years. In reality, when sick, elderly, starved, abused or dangerous horses get dumped on a working ranch... they get “retired” in a different way. This may be the horse who blew a front knee due to a bad conformation problem, or the one who got her shoulder blade caved in by another horse, or the one who had lost the ability to metabolize grass due to a lifetime of hot feed, or one of the dozen or so starving horses that got dumped in a pasture one night. Getting taken out back and quietly shot was a lot gentler than most other ends, especially with the nearest horse vet a few hours away by trailer. In contrast, other horses stayed sound and healthy (and fat and sleek) well into their upper 20′s on rangeland pasture and did become pasture pets! A few of those, truly dead of ripe old age, are scattered around as well. (I think the record was 32 for a big Appy gelding, working cattle and trail horse his whole life.)Â
One of my favorite things I’ve seen while focusing on photographing bones is how little they really stay dead. The cell structure of antler and bone traps moisture and minerals, creating an incredibly rich and complex substrate for tiny plants to grow.Â
If you’re feeling like dry bones right now, remember this- bone is not truly dead, it’s a part of continuing life. Nothing in nature is discarded, nothing is lost, it’s all cycled back into further growth in its time and season.Â
Ecclesiastes 3 is being overused right now but still, it’s applicable.Â
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal
A time to shed one’s antlers, and a time to be the antler in the sun, dry and lost, quietly growing new life.Â
For all that this blog is about dead things, it is also about the celebration of life and stands for life, in all its forms, from first-planted seed and first-conceived soul to final rest.Â
Frosty doe!

Found an absurdly ugly cactus stag today in the swamp. This guy had some serious issues. Probably several years worth of antler overgrown going on there!
Not a bone but still plenty weird! It's the dried dead trunk of a desert shrub, woody buckwheat I think. I collect them sometimes when I'm hiking because they're so fun but this is by far the oddest and biggest! I will have to make something with it.
