Feet come in all shapes and sizes. Long, skinny, wide, short and all kinds of combinations in-between. Boots come in a few shapes and sizes too but not nearly as many as there are different feet. This makes finding the right boot fit sometimes tedious.

Feet are weird! The human foot is made up of three arches, twenty different muscles, 24 ligaments, 26 bones, and 33 joints. The bones in your two feet contain one-quarter of ALL the bones in your body. Most Podiatrists recognize five distinct foot shapes, and some anthropologists and genealogists believe the shape of a person's feet can provide insight into their ancestral origins.

Many of us are in the process of swapping out some of our early-season gear and adding in our mid-season kit. Which for most of us means your garage or gear room probably looks like a bomb went off. Along with heavier base layers and more insulation pieces you may want to think about switching boots. It's about time to clean up and condition those lightweight, early-season boots and break out something a bit more heavy duty and warm.

The goal of this article is to look back on the season and give our audience a preview of some lessons you learned. Speaking from personal experience, everytime I go hunting, there are things that I do right, and things that I do wrong. Looking back on these can help us become better hunters, and by sharing these with others, maybe they can learn from our successes and mistakes.
In this AAR we chat with Ryan Carter of DC Outfitters, one of Utah's premier Elk hunting guide services.

I've always been drawn to wild and rugged mountains. The more rugged, the more wild, the more challenging...the better. Better in a sense of challenge, inspiration and determination to climb, scale and navigate the path less traveled. I suppose that it shouldn't be surprising that my deep desire to hunt mountain goats is likely because they call wild and rugged mountains home. I marvel at how so gracefully they move about on terrain that is to most of us inhospitable and near impossible.

I think everyone dreams of hunting Mountain Goats. I know I did. Some days I felt like it could be a real possibility and other times I felt like there was not a chance I could ever make it happen. But fate, hard work and friendship found us on the Alaska Coastline, hopping on a plane and headed into the bush to fulfill a pair of dreams.
