After an unexpected breakup, Anna Mitchell is left facing emptiness—not just in her quiet Vancouver apartment, but within herself. For years, her life had been shaped by the expectations of others. When Michael walks out, he doesn’t just take their relationship with him—he takes with him the version of herself that Anna once clung to. Amid the snow-covered landscapes of Whistler and the still, frozen mornings by the lake, Anna begins to listen—really listen—to the voice inside her, long buried beneath compromise and silence.

To become a "PhD Whitetail", a whitetail deer has to have gone to school on hunters. He knows when to move, where to move, and how to move to avoid detection. Most deer hunters rely on luck to occasionally have the opportunity to see a PhD buck. But the professional hunters in this book have spent their lifetimes finding these bucks-with-doctorates and putting themselves in position to take these monster bucks using hunting strategies that few of us employ. The men who have learned their lesson from the PhD deer are videographers, producers, TV hosts, and/or professional hunters.

Even though Leonardo Da Vinci wanted to learn all he could, he never received a formal education. Struggling to make a living in his 20s, he then moved to Milan, where he flourished. New worlds of discovery opened to him and his interests in engineering, art, theatre, and much more were satisfied. He expanded his knowledge in these fields to become a key figure in the Renaissance and an inventor whose designs of helicopters, parachutes, submarines, and many other ingenious devices were well ahead of their time.

In the outdoor world, the elk is the teacher; the hunter is the student. The bull elk, a stunning symbol of strength and power, is one of the most-elusive animals to hunt. The best way to learn how to hunt elk is to learn from the pros who have to take and film elk every year, like the Hunter's Specialties' Pros who produce elk videos every year for Hunter's Specialties' videos and TV shows. Wayne Carlton of Montrose, Colorado, has been hunting and guiding for elk for more than three decades.

The quickest, easiest (if there is an easy way), and safest way to find and take that bull elk of a lifetime will be to hunt with a guide. Chad Schearer, a longtime Montana guide and TV personality, told me, “My hunter is my gun. If I get to the elk, and my hunter isn’t with me, then we don’t take the elk. My job is not only to find the elk but also to help the hunter get to the elk and make the experience as enjoyable as I can for him.” That’s the kind of fella with whom I want to go elk hunting.
