WELCOME TO BEAR MILLER OUTDOORS
Hello fellow sportsmen and women! This site is about everything outdoors, and me
sharing my knowledge with you. I love the outdoors, and I have a wealth of experience
in outdoor activities which includes hunting, fishing, survival skills camping, canoeing,
and primitive living. I have a passion for enjoying the outdoors around us, as well as the
family aspects of the sporting life; my blog is all about this topic.
My goal is to pass along my knowledge and thoughts to you, as well as our future
generations. My passion is to get young people interested and involved in outdoor
activities, and to preserve the wild places that remain in our world. I want our future
generations to have the opportunity to experience true wilderness experiences; the
pristine Rocky Mountains untouched by man, the northern woods and lakes where a
person can explore the wilderness for days by canoe, the preserved watersheds where a
young hunter can shoot her first duck, the small trout stream where a boy catches his
first fish.

On a larger scale, we have to preserve the places where a hunt presents the life-and-
death challenges that only true wilderness will provide, that is what adventure is all
about. This site is about developing you into the total outdoors man or woman, to be
able to survive any situation, to know how to hunt and fish, to be aware of
environmental issues that impact us all, and most importantly, to encourage you and
everyone around you to get our next generations into the outdoors. Check out my about
page to learn more about me and why my opinion matters to you. You can see some
pictures of me experiencing the outdoors at the bottom of that page.
About Me:-
I am Bear Miller, an accomplished sportsman in all aspects of outdoor activities, with a
wealth of hunting, fishing, and survival knowledge and skills. I have been hunting birds,
elk and deer in the mountains and plains of Colorado, and fishing the lakes, rivers, and
streams in this state for 29 years.
I moved to Colorado in 1983 while serving our country in the United States Air Force,
and I have established my knowledge of the wildlife in this state through study and
firsthand experience from my hunting and fishing. I am very knowledgeable with hunting
and fishing techniques, camping, survival, and primitive living, and I excel at teaching
what I know to other people.

In 1983 I started elk hunting with a recurve bow in Colorado completely on my own,
backpacking into the most remote areas of the state, taking all I needed on my back for
trips lasting up to 10 days. For 15 years I hunted this way, with minimal gear, enduring
the extreme elements of the wilderness. During that time I developed my knowledge of
what a hunter needs to survive, and even be comfortable in those conditions and the
situations of elk hunting, including taking care of the animals and packing them out. I
have been through it all; from lightning storms, hail, snow, spending the night out in
some unexpected place on a frigid night, and even dealing with injuries like broken
bones and severe lacerations. I learned a lot in those 15 years, about elk hunting, about
survival, and about being in the wilderness.
In 1999 I used my first outfitter to pack me and my gear in to a drop camp, then come
back and pick me up after a week. It was a similar experience; I was still in the remote
wilderness, only this time I wasn’t taxing my body so much to get there. I liked that,
especially when it came to packing out an elk, it was a much more pleasant experience
to let a horse carry my elk off the mountain. But I was still on my own for those times
between drop off and pick up, so the experience was the same for me, and it allowed me
to go even further into the wilderness. During that time I learned to change my tactics;
I didn’t need one big backpack for the whole trip, I had a base camp, and I could go on
longer excursions for a day because I could bring more gear with me to allow for that,
like a day pack, extra survival gear, and extra clothes. In this period of time I learned
how to hunt elk differently than I had before; I had new options with the added gear. I
had many successful and adventurous hunts, with the same elements of the wilderness
experience as I had in the backpacking days.
After a few years of using this outfitter to pack me in and out, I developed a good
relationship with Sable Mountain Outfitters, which led to a third level of my experience, I
went to work for them. I went from being a client to being a guide, wrangler, and camp
cook, and I learned that side of the business. I learned about how the outfitting
business works, from rounding the horses up at 5:30 AM, getting them saddled and to
the trail head by 8:00, packing the mules with the client’s gear, then getting the clients
to their camps, which was usually a two or three hour ride with people who had little or
no experience with horses, and no experience in that type of wilderness. I really enjoyed

that work and getting to know out-of-state clients, it gave me great insight to these
customers.
My time spent with Sable Mountain Outfitters has taught me a lot about the people who
come to Colorado to hunt and fish. Almost all of them are from another state, and very
few of them have true wilderness experience, meaning that when we go to camp, we are
miles away from help of any kind, and cell phones don’t work. Even if they did, it would
take hours to get any kind of help, maybe even days depending on where the help was
needed. To these clients, this is a true wilderness experience, and that is what we want
them to have. It is a thrilling rush to be exposed to the natural world, knowing that
nature is the one in charge, and we are simply visitors to that world. Every day in the
wild is a new experience because of that.
I have learned a lot in my life time, and my goal is to teach people what I know, to help
people experience the great outdoors, and to help grow awareness of the conservation of
our wilderness so that there will always be wild places for generations to come.
