Duck!
What’s been missing this year in hunting season? Ducks. Not any more. Saturday morning is opening day of duck season in the East Zone of the state, the area which includes all the area in our region.

Sam’s Club: Seeking crappie & men
Sam Roberson summed up his crappie fishing in one simple statement. “There are a lot of fishermen who can catch more crappie than I can, but there aren’t any that love it any more than I do.” That became apparent as Sam put his foot on the trolling motor pedal and headed his aluminum Bass … Continue reading
A good time was had by all, even the crappie
The picture above of Mark Weldon and his dad, Winfred, just about says it all. The annual Crappie.com gathering on Lake D’Arbonne this past weekend was a huge success.

Yes, the person who wrote the above probably votes. And no, I don’t want to think about that. But I laugh every time I see this, or something like it. I’m proud to be a hunter. I’m proud to believe in the Bible and thankful for the bounty that God has placed here on this … Continue reading
