Based on their published works, “Most Trouts Don’t Read” and “Marmot Babies,” the pair shared photography and stories from the field.

“Seeing wildlife, seeing fish drives us. That is our adrenaline rush. From a wolverine to the little fawns behind our house to birds feeding their babies, we love nature [and] wild animals do their things,” said Bealer.

Both books are available on Amazon and at local retailers, such as Last Chance Bookstore, the Montana Historical Society Store, and Van’s Thriftway.
