How to avoid bears
When you spend a lot of time outdoors, you just have to learn to adjust. That’s what I did yesterday. I got to go outdoors and I figured out a way to avoid bears. If you didn’t read Monday’s post, this won’t make any sense. But if you did read about my opening day deer … Continue reading
Bear with me…
Saturday’s opening morning deer hunt was the quietest I’ve experienced in recent years. Saturday’s afternoon hunt was the shortest. Bear with me, I’ll make this quick as possible. Saturday morning, I didn’t see a deer. I only heard two shots in the distance. Others said they didn’t hear any. Now I know hunters in Union … Continue reading

A unique crappie opportunity
Nobody I know would have ever imagined how sculling a 14-foot aluminum boat down the lake fishing for white perch with a cane pole, a red & white bobber, and a styrofoam bucket full of minners could have become a professional sport offering hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. But it has … Continue reading
ACT Championship on deck
The big $50,000 crappie rigs, the multi-colored jerseys of pro crappie anglers from around the country and numerous eight-pole spider rigs have pretty much disappeared from Lake D’Arbonne this time of yer, following a rush of organized crappie chasing activity earlier this year. But crappie fishing is still the big dog on Lake D’Arbonne. Never … Continue reading
Arise, kill, eat
Its hunting season time again, and with it the traditional trips afield for sportsmen and their families. Each year, more and more protests go out against hunting and shooting guns. I tend to take a simple approach to hunting and its part in a life that God has planned out for us. As he told … Continue reading

It’s enough to keep up with hunting gear today, but as hunting seasons about to get going full swing, make sure you can answer this command properly: License, please.
