About Me

Welcome to The Pursuit. 

As you can see from the description on the home page – this site is dedicated to the pursuit of all things wild in the beautiful piece of God’s Country that I call home, Southeast Idaho.  My passion for the outdoors began as an inquisitive and talkative 5 year old chasing pronghorn and mule deer in the high deserts.  I can vividly remember bouncing along in dad’s ’67 Chevy pickup down dusty mountain roads and across sagebrush hills in search of adventure.  It was all about the excitement, the thrills, the disappointments, and at times the humor.  Since those early days, my unabated passion for the outdoors has done more than drive me - it has defined me.  My father taught me since childhood about our stewardship for wildlife and the sacred nature of the environments they inhabit.  He believed in fair chase, public land, do-it-yourself hunting and fishing. Those beliefs are not only mine as well, but they are the foundation of our sport in its purist form.  This site is dedicated to that tradition, because how something is done should be as important as the result itself.  No guides, no fences, and no guarantees.  It’s the hunt - the pursuit - that defines us.

About the Author

I am the proud father of three fun loving kids and the husband to a beautiful wife.  I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho and currently reside in Pocatello, Idaho.  Throughout the year I can be found chasing mule deer and elk with a bow in the Idaho backcountry, steelhead in the mighty Salmon River, carp with a flyrod in desolate mud flats, or trout in one of the many blue ribbon fisheries surrounding my home.  For me - the term "off season" is only for those that need another hobby.      - Jared Grover

My wife the skeptic, my daughter the joker, my son the protector (note his arm around his baby sister), and I'm oblivious to it all.
