Hunter’s Corner

Everybody that hunts has one. Well, almost everybody. Fortunately for most of us, our wives don’t post pictures of ours on Facebook.

Smile. You’re on Krappie King camera!

Saturday’s premier of the first of three Krappie King TV shows featuring Lake D’Arbonne was great to watch. Host Karl Kalonka and guests Jay Stone and John Godwin did a great job and it really promoted catching the big slabs on D’Arbonne. As Stone told me yesterday, “Lake D’Arbonne was kind to us that day.” … Continue reading

Signs of the end…

I don’t know when the “end” of the world will come, but I do know that one day Jesus will come back. There are many signs already.

I’ve known he was a really good crappie fishermen and his success on Lake D’Arbonne with fellow Duck Commander celebrities John Godwin and Justin Martin is well documented. I got to spend some time fishing with Jay recently and while fishing … Continue reading

The most important “new”

With a new year comes new hope, new plans and new goals and resolutions. The first day of a new year isn’t really much different than the last day of an old year, but as human beings, we cling to things like this to give us motivation. There’s one “new” that you definitely need to … Continue reading

Common Core Ducks

Much ado has been made about “Common Core” approaches to learning math. Well, veteran duck hunters are well versed in working out complicated math formulas and making simple addition seem like brain surgery. Most duck hunters work hard to follow the ever-increasing rules, regulations and paperwork required to be a law-abiding sportsman. Today we’ll take … Continue reading
