Follow Mark and Treeline Pursuits at this Insta page.

Treeline Pursuits is based in Missoula, Montana. Our passion is western big game hunting, especially public land do-it-yourself adventures.

Mark Livesay is the founder of Treeline Pursuits and the creator of Treeline Academy. In general, Mark is a “all in” type of person as seen through his triathlon career (10 Ironman finishes), the formation of his event production company Ultramax Sports, and most significantly in his life-long hunting pursuits. 

He spent his first two elk hunting decades traveling from Missouri to the western states. He would definitely qualify as a serial elk hunter, pursuing elk in multiple western states, and spending over 60 days in the remote backcountry each season. His 30 years of elk hunting have given him a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with E-Scouting and finding elk.

Recently, he has been featured as a guest on a growing list of hunting’s best podcasts, including The Rich Outdoors, Eastmans Elevated, Hunt Harvest Health, The Gritty Podcast, Elk Shape, Backcountry Rookies, Publically Challenged, Shoot’n The Bull, and Interviews With The Hunting Masters. His E-Scouting podcasts on the Rich Outdoors were among the podcast’s most downloaded episodes in 2019. He has published several elk hunting strategy articles and has been invited to present E-Scouting tactics at the Western Hunting Summit the past two years.

Mark and his wife, Amy, moved to Montana in 2016 and have never looked back. They share their Missoula home with their two children, Eli and Emme, and a gaggle of pack llamas. The growing herd of Ccara pack llamas is now a vital part of his public land, do-it-yourself hunting arsenal.

Why sit around and wait to train when training opportunities are all around you? 

Pavel would call this an opportunity to grease the groove. Phil Sabatini with East Coast Gold would call it raising the minimums. I’d say it’s a call to FIND FITNESS. 

It’s your duty as a human to honor the effort of your genetic forebears to battle the sedentary plague sweeping the west. We didn’t become the most dominant species on the planet lying around. Somewhere in your lineage is a badass who sprinted, jumped, climbed, threw and fought so you could enjoy the comforts of modern day living.  

To honor that effort why not take advantage of the fitness opportunities all around you? This idea started for me in late August while dropping my kiddos off at school. For days I walked under this gate without giving it a look. Then one morning I ran out of time training and had to ax my pull ups from the session. For whatever reason I noticed the bar at drop off walking the kiddos to class and hit a set of pull ups. On the way back to the car I hit another set. I repeated the effort in the afternoon and the next day. 

Other parents started noticing and would smile. I started challenging kids and parents to join me. Some did. Most didn't, but either case only fueled me to continue. At 3 pull ups each time I passed the gate I was getting 12 a day. At 180 days I would hit 2,160 bonus pull ups over the school year! 

That’s a nice bonus. Who wouldn’t like an extra 2G’s of anything?    

More fuel was added to the fire. I have since started hitting sets of 3-12 pull ups at the kid’s school as I pick them up and drop them off. I now, also, do chin ups at the school I teach whenever I get the chance. On good days I get well over 50 bonus pull ups in a day. On bad days I always get my 12! 

I have been at this pretty hard and have noticed the impacts in some unexpected places. The constant pain in my shoulder and elbow from trying to master the kip and butterfly have vanished. Deadlift numbers are on the rise as my upper back can maintain shape as I break bigger loads from the floor. Best of all, Wifey Pooh gives me the wink, nod, and that great “lat” slap only the most narcissistic of the male species can truly appreciate.

The bottom lines are that in terms of form, function, and appearance things have taken a turn for the better, and I wasn’t doing so bad before.

You can do the same. 

So, who's coming with me! 

I know pulls ups are a toughie for folks but why would we start FINDING FITNESS with something easy. If you have a pull up do them. If you don’t have a pull up, jump up and hold your head high. Heck, simply hang for a manageable amount of time and let gravity strengthen your grip and loosen up your shoulders. Listen, you’re a smart girl, find a bar and smash some body weight rows. 

You owe it to way more than yourself to do what you can, when you can, however you can. Get out there and FIND FITNESS where you least expect it!

Dennis Dunn, Predators, Politics, and a Porcupine Love StoryEpisode 15. Dennis Dunn, Predators, Politics, and a Porcupine Love StoryDennis Dunn joins the show to discuss his 40 years of hunting experience.  We also cover predator management, the politics of hunting, and porcupine love making.  

      Read Dennis’s bio below and be sure to check out his webpage http://barebows.com/

      Born in Seattle in May of 1940, Dennis Dunn went on to graduate cum laude from Harvard University in 1962, with a B.A. degree and a major in Romance Languages and Literature. He became a middle and senior high school French language teacher, and during this period he earned a Masters Degree in Romance Languages from the University of Washington.

      He married the late Jennifer Blackburn Dunn in 1965 and fathered two sons: Bryant in 1969, and Reagan in 1971. Both boys are avid bowhunters and firearms hunters. Bryant currently owns and operates a very successful Outfitter/Guide Service in the back-country of Idaho. He specializes in elk and deer — bow or rifle, as well as in grouse hunting and flyfishing. Sun Valley Outfitters can be viewed on the web at: www.sunvalleyoutfitters.org

      Intrigued with politics, Dunn left the teaching profession in 1970, when he was elected Chairman of the King County Republican Party. He served in that position for 6 years, and in 1976 he was elected as the GOP National Committeeman for the state of Washington. He ultimately rose to be a Vice-Chairman of the Republican National Committee, before finally resigning his various Party positions in 1983 and becoming a securities broker. By then, his attention to bowhunting had become a major avocation in life. In 1988, he moved to Vancouver, B.C., where he met Karen, who became his beloved bride in 1989.

      A year before returning to Seattle in 1999, Dunn began pursuing actively his passion for opera, and he soon accepted appointment as the Northwest Regional Chairman of the Metropolitan Opera National Council. To this date, he still serves as a leader in that organization’s quest to find and promote gifted young opera singers onto the stages of the world’s opera houses.

      He joined the Pope & Young Club in 1972, and he has been a Senior Member of that organization since 1985. In September of 2004, Dunn completed a 40-year odyssey when he harvested a male Alaskan Brown Bear on Baranof Island in S.E. Alaska and completed what has become known in hunting circles as the North American Super Slam: the taking of all 28 huntable big-game animals recognized by the Pope & Young Club. Although six other bowhunters had managed to accomplish that feat prior to Dunn, he was the first to complete the Super Slam barebow — meaning no pins, no sights, or other aiming devices. In short, his arrows were guided only by instinct.

      Of the 29 Pope & Young species, 17 of Dunn’s original 29 have been listed in the Club’s records. Since the fall of 2004, he has added five more species to the records listings.
