Union slips to No. 2

Last year was an unusual year for deer hunters. Some parish deer hunters reported good harvest success while others were way below normal, even in seeing deer. After checking with deer processors, it was the same thing. Some were up, some were down. The bottom line is there is really now way to know exactly … Continue reading

It was a “work” day

Saturday was a good day. Hunting was in the air, even though it was also the opening day of college football season. Hundreds of folks spent their time popping off shotgun shells at darting feather balls called doves on opening day.  I went after bigger game, or at least prepared to do so. I had … Continue reading

As God intended

This is giving and sharing as I believe God intended it to be. Pray for God to direct you to help in a way pleasing to him. Luke 6: 38   “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For … Continue reading

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

Nothing I can add…

Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

Safety gear saves lives

As we near the Labor Day weekend and the end of the “boating” season, make sure you make safety a priority on the water. I think this is a good time to share this: I have written several times about the high school bass tournaments that we started up way ahead of their time on … Continue reading

The Eclipse Buster

Wow. If  this country would have expended the energy and come together toward some good and worthy goal that it put toward Monday’s eclipse, there would be at least a couple of major problems solved. I kind of feel like the biggest eclipse of all Monday may have been the intellectual eclipse of sanity, slowly … Continue reading
