We love to showcase our Orvis Endorsed Partners and Tikchik Narrows Lodge in Bristol Bay, Alaska, is no exception. On his final day at Alaska’s TIKCHIK NARROWS LODGE, INC., Orvis' own Philip Monahan ventured onto the lakes with guide William Paul, aiming to hook a big char and some northern pike. Positioned in the narrows near the lodge, a cool breeze swept down from Nuyakuk Lake. Overnight, the temperature had dropped noticeably, and the fish appeared reluctant to chase their flies far. Despite the challenging conditions, Phil managed to land a few small char and lake trout. Suddenly, Will exclaimed, “Bear!” and pointed across the shore opposite the lodge. A young, lanky brown bear fixed its gaze on the pair momentarily before returning to nibble on lichens. During this pre-salmon and pre-berry season, the bears, truly omnivorous, seek any available calories. After observing Phil and Will for about five minutes, the bear lost interest and wandered off into the willows. With the coast clear, they resumed the fishing adventure!

In a recent blog, Tim Ferriss shared a powerful analogy from Newt Gingrich on focusing on what truly matters: A lion can catch and eat field mice, but the energy spent on this is greater than the caloric gain. Essentially, a lion that hunts mice will starve. To thrive, a lion needs to hunt antelope, which requires more effort but provides substantial nourishment. This translates to our work: Are you spending your time on minor tasks (field mice) that don't contribute significantly to your goals? Instead, focus on larger, more impactful tasks (antelope) that drive real progress, getting the right things done. At the end of the day, ask yourself, “Did I spend today chasing mice or hunting antelope?” #Strategy #Focus #Productivity #gettingthingsdone

🦁✨ Just witnessed the majestic Sleeping Lion in Kruger National Park! 🌿 Did you know that lions spend a significant portion of their day snoozing? 😴 Here's why these big cats are the nap kings of the savannah: 🌅 Nocturnal Lifestyle: Lions are primarily nocturnal hunters, and their prey is often more active during the cooler nighttime hours. So, they conserve energy during the heat of the day and gear up for the night's adventures. 👑 Top of the Food Chain: Being apex predators means they don't have many natural enemies. Once they've made a successful kill, they can afford to rest and digest, storing energy for the next hunt. 👊 Energy Conservation: Lions are powerful, but hunting takes a toll. Long chases and intense bursts of energy during hunts are followed by extended periods of rest. It's a crucial strategy to maintain their strength and stamina. 🌞 Beat the Heat: In the scorching African sun, lions seek shade and rest to avoid overheating. Energy conservation is essential for survival in their challenging environment. 🚫 Heavy is the Head: Lions have large, muscular heads, and their manes add extra weight. Resting helps them avoid exhaustion and strain on their neck muscles. Next time you spot a snoozing lion, appreciate the incredible balance they maintain in the circle of life! 🌍💤 #SleepingLion #WildlifeWonder #KrugerNationalParkAdventures

This is probably the best read I have ever experienced in regards to aoudad! Check out this short write up and let us know what you think! Double S Adventures
Aoudad. Besides a really cool name, do you know what it is? It’s a Barbary Sheep that is typically found in the desert mountains of North Africa, with chestnut fleece and thick, wild-looking horns. Did you know that they also live in Texas? Like axis deer and nilgai, they were brought to Texas decades ago for hunting and over time escaped from ranches or were released into the wild. Nature is hardy, and they’ve flourished in the mountains of West Texas to become an “honorary native” of sorts. It’s amazing how many big game species from around the world have made a new home in Texas, and how lucky are we to experience them free range! If you’d like to experience these animals close up, Double S Adventures has an opportunity in October to chase them through the Davis Mountains of West Texas for 2-8 hunters! This is prime time during the rut, plus an all-inclusive experience. PM me for more information or if you just want to know more about aoudad because you find them fascinating like me! 🤩 #aoudad #outdoors #westtexas #DoubleSAdventures #CamoWearingBallerina

Am I Hunting Antelope or Field Mice? Focus on the big things and let the little stuff slide: the analogy of the field mice and the antelope. A lion is fully capable of capturing, killing, and eating a field mouse. But the energy required to do so exceeds the caloric content of the mouse itself. So a lion that spends its day hunting and eating field mice would slowly starve to death. A lion can’t live on field mice. A lion needs antelope. Antelope are big animals. They take more speed and strength to capture and kill, and once killed, they provide a feast for the lion and her pride. A lion can live a long and happy life on a diet of antelope. The distinction is important. Are you spending all your time and exhausting all your energy catching field mice? In the short term, it might give you a nice, rewarding feeling. But in the long run, you’re going to die. So ask yourself at the end of the day, “Did I spend today chasing mice or hunting antelope?” #Leadership #Focus #Productivity #TimeManagement #BusinessStrategy #Success #Motivation #Priorities #GoalSetting #BigPicture #StrategicThinking #Prioritization #LongTermSuccess #Mindset

### Wild Boar: Nature's Fearless Fighter In the deep darkness of the forest, where the trees are dense and visibility is limited to just a few feet, you will find the wild boar making its mark.https://a.co/d/8YYUme1 Wild boars are not merely ordinary animals. While they spend their days foraging for sustenance such as acorns and roots, they are formidable defenders. They possess thick, tough skin akin to armor, providing them with robust protection. Additionally, their long, sharp tusks protrude like daggers, enabling them to confront other animals, even those larger in size. If a wild boar perceives a threat, it will charge directly at it rather than retreat. With their powerful physiques, they can deliver a formidable blow. see more https://lnkd.in/dsaBqckd
