The dark is often misunderstood. We’re taught to fear it, to think of it as something unknown and dangerous. But in the absence of light, the world becomes more intimate. The details that are lost in the glare of the sun come to life in subtler ways, forcing you to listen closer while freeing your imagination. Without the chaos of light, you become more attuned to the other senses, more aware of your intuition. In this way, the darkness teaches you to experience the world fully. It’s a reminder that clarity doesn’t always come in the form of light, color, or brightness. Sometimes, it’s found in the silence, in the unseen, in the spaces between.
As autumn approaches and the nights become cooler and the days shorter, I found myself hunting tirelessly through the night. At dawn, I stumbled upon some rusted machinery. Even though the wheels were no longer in use, they served as a reminder of life's continuous cycle. They symbolize the equilibrium of all things: seasons change, time passes, but everything moves in harmony. Just as rust quietly corrodes, nature's rhythm perseveres, and even stillness maintains its own momentum.
Alex shot the first coyote, dragged it to the nearest two-track, and stumbled upon the remains of an old Chevrolet. I switched from a green to a white light to get a better look at the nostalgia we had just come upon. I told Alex to leave the coyote here, as we'd come back in the light for a picture. As I scanned into the distance, I saw another coyote, just as I heard Alex begin to open the door. We stopped the noise and headed off to dispatch that coyote. The coyotes were responding slowly, and coming in late in the stands. I worked on one coyote, finally dispatching it at the 34-minute mark. We walked past a lot of debris, through canyons, and followed green lasers to downed coyotes. We hunted until we could see without the aid of light or thermal, and returned to where we started for the picture.
Ancient hunters captured their journeys on cave walls using ash, stone, and ochre. Today, our stories inhabit digital landscapes, told through videos, images, and interactive media. Despite the change in medium, the essence of storytelling remains the same: to share our experiences, teach, and leave behind something for others. Technology has not replaced the tradition of storytelling; it has evolved it, providing endless possibilities for expression. From the caves to the cloud, the stories live on.
In my latest journey, feral pigs are called in with the FOXPRO, multiple coyotes, and a side-by-side AGM perspective through the Rattler V2 and Varmint LRF V2, on coyote stands. As the second half unfolds, it blends ASMR elements with the sounds of the hunt—wind, cycling bolts, prey distress, and impacting bullets—creating a thought-provoking narrative that explores the balance between the night and perception.
