  • Ties and socks? How about a day on the river for Christmas?

         If you have an outdoors type on your Christmas list, this is the year to be creative.  Avoid the tie, socks or shirt and consider wrapping the gift that is more creative, out of the ordinary and will excite the sportsman.

  • Duck season looks prime for waterfowl hunters

    I am not sure how I feel about this global warming/climate change issue. It seems logical to me over the centuries there would be cyclical changes in temperatures and climates.

  • Wildlife and humans encroach on each other
