Trent Hoffman
– IP Attorney and Outdoorsman
From the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the arid and thorny floor of the Sonoran Desert, big game hunting presents a challenge and thrill unlike any other. I am a seasoned IP attorney with a passion for small and big game wildlife. There is nothing like being in the woods in September chasing (or simply observing) the loud bugles of the elk (Wapiti). After my first such experience, I became what we call Wapiti WildTM. It’s the name we use to describe the outdoorsman (and woman) who daydreams about chasing bugles in September.
Elk aren’t the only majestic creatures that fascinate me. I can be found each Fall and Winter, bow and arrow in hand, in pursuit of Mule Deer. As an Arizona native, I am amazed at how these warriors survive the arid desert. It’s my goal to provide a forum where other hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and others interested in big game and the outdoors can come together to share information about the great wapiti species, game animals in general, the outdoors, and outdoor products. Whether you’re a fellow enthusiast or simply curious, this blog is your gateway to the exhilarating world of western big game hunting. Please feel free to contribute, share stories, and share pictures of your outdoor adventures.
