This story was brought to me by a retired big game wildlife biologist named Steve when he asked me to record a moose hunt.
Not really my kind of story to document. After all there has to be a million hunting videos out there. Then I started researching the two friends Steve needed for this lifetime journey. Then found out the true reason Steve wanted this hunt documented and It had nothing to do with a moose hunt.
Let’s just say, a vow he made decades ago had to be honored and the more I learned, the more I realized these aren’t ordinary guys and I had to tell this story.
THE LEGACY
This was meant to be a short "Nugget" video about the beautiful Boise River. Unfortunately I discovered the Boise Rivers natural ecosystem was dying.
How I found out about this issue came from a walk on the Green Belt one day. A group of people at Veterans Memorial Park were planting hundreds of seeds in trays. After asking what they were doing I could almost hear the Boise River crying.
