A Dear Danny deer letter…
Dear Danny Etling, As LSU’s quarterback, I realize that nothing you do is going to make you “successful” in some folks eyes, because you don’t have an NFL rifle arm or a sleeve-ripping linebacker body, but I do realize that you are doing everything you can. I appreciate that. You prepare, you give it your … Continue reading
Start Every Day with Thanksgiving
Don’t wait until Thursday to start celebrating Thanksgiving. In fact, don’t start ANY day without being Thankful first. If it doesn’t make your day go better, I’ll give you your money back for my advice. . . “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your … Continue reading
The uphill road to Bussey rebirth
The first thing fishermen have to learn is patience. And in some cases, it isn’t patience waiting on fish to bite, but waiting on a place to fish. That’s been the case with the planned rebirth of the 2,200 acre Bussey Brake Reservoir up north of Bastrop. A project that was hoped to take three … Continue reading
Here crappie crappie….
Crappie fever tried to warm up on Lake D’Arbonne this past weekend. Everybody showed up, including a pretty good mess of crappie. The big annual crappie.com gathering was held out of the State Park and the Crappie Fishermen United of Louisiana held a tournament on D’Arbonne as well. The crappie bite is getting interesting. Saturday … Continue reading

Well kiss my grits!
My wife and I spent a couple of weeks on the road through North Carolina and surrounding states recently and we were privileged to get a personal tour of Barkley’s Mill on Southern Cross Farm in Weaverville, N.C. We purchased several bags of their vintage home-ground stone grits and as we were leaving, head agriculturist … Continue reading
It’s an hour earlier, I think
Whether or not you set your clocks BACK an hour when you went to bed last night, or if you stayed up until 2 a.m. and set them back, it’s still AN HOUR EARLIER today than it was at this time yesterday. I think. Or is it an hour later? I thought about it so … Continue reading
“C’est l’heure d’aller à la pêche!”
Coach Saban, it’s Coach O for you on line 4… “Hey, T-Nick. This is coach O. How ya doin’?” “I’m good coach,” Saban responds, even though he’s been grouchy all week. “What’s on your mind?” “C’est l’heure d’aller à la pêche!” O says (It’s time to go fishing). “Unless you’d rather go duck hunting this … Continue reading
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
