How to catch a 10-pound bass
Here’s a fishing tip I bet you’ve never gotten before. If you want to catch a 10-pound largemouth, just go down to the boat dock on Lake D’Arbonne with three of your friends in the August heat, grab a Spro Frog and start chunking. If you don’t think that will work, think again. Ask 16-year-old … Continue reading
12 months of deer hunting
This is the latest installment of our series on 12 months of deer hunting by area deer expert Dan Preaus. Here’s what Dan has to say this month: It’s that time of year when the real work begins in preparation for the upcoming deer season.

PETA shoots itself
Poor PETA. First, people make fun of the sorely uninformed animal rights activists by calling them People Eating Tasty Animals instead of what they like to be called. Then PETA shoots itself in the foot with an internet photo frame they provided so everybody can put their photo in and say “Shoot Selfies, Not Animals” … Continue reading

I’ll take it!
Max Lucado wrote, “Baptism separates the tire kickers from the car buyers.” Indeed it does.

It’s a special time anytime one comes to the Lord and is baptized. Matthew … Continue reading

Good news for hunters. There is yet another pair of new regulations to keep up with. If you are a dove hunter, remember that you can no longer use lead shot when hunting doves on state management areas or state leased land. Areas that are being leased by the department and open to the public … Continue reading
Windshield Time
“Windshield Time”. That can get to be a bad thing. When you cover 10 different states setting up and putting on nearly 20 professional crappie tournaments you get a lot of “windshield time”. That isn’t all bad, except…. well, I’ll let Mike Vallentine, president of Crappie Masters, tell you about it. “I love what I … Continue reading
