September 22, 2026 Bison photobombing a pronghorn video. A topic was brought up the other day I hadn’t heard before but worded as if that was a common notion about bison. “I’ve heard bison push out the deer and elk...” the prompt began. In other words, can a bison ranch boast a healthy population of other ungulates? Or do bison outcompete and limit the resources to the point that sympatric animals like deer and elk will not make the pasture a part of their habitat? With the

April 20, 2026 The original parcel Lost Arrow Ranch purchased was once owned by a brick company.

December 1, 2025 All true adventures begin by throwing away the travel arrow to life. The familiar rules no longer apply, because it's a different game. The outcome is uncertain and the excitement is in the hardship and happiness of cutting a new path. Once lost, life is in seeing where you land.
