Got your goose?
Still itching to get up before the crack of dawn, wade through the mud in the cold or rain and take a few shots at high flying birds? Well, it’s time to get your goose. The extended goose season is upon us and there are plenty of geese. The only question is what to do … Continue reading
Sun setting on duck season
The clock is ticking on the 2013-14 duck season in the East Zone, which includes all of northeast Louisiana. The second split in the East ends Sunday, January 26. A special one-day youth hunt is scheduled for Feb. 1. I miss the cut on that one by a few days…Check your regulations pamphlet for details … Continue reading
Duck call$ and the boat $how
The stories around the highest bidder for Duck Commander Phil Robertson’s millionth duck call made last year just kind of make one feel proud of folks in our area. First of all, Duck Commander donated the commemorative, autographed call to be auctioned to raise money for the Northeast Louisiana Veterans’ Association Wounded Warrior hunts. The good … Continue reading
As first reported here….
Folks that know me would tell you in a heartbeat that I would never say “I TOLD YOU SO”…but I want to share this with you anyway as we look at three days this week with temps in the 20’s. Okay, humor me. It’s a rerun (pardon me) of our Oct. 2, 2013 entry into … Continue reading

Saturday, I had a great time at Wild Wings in Downsville visiting with four of the United States Army’s finest, SFC Phillip Whitty, SGT Steve Keller, SPC Daniel Cothren, and SPC Red Mauck. They all arrived at the Lodge Friday and did a little trap shooting with Louisiana Hunters for Heroes President Donnie Vocker, his … Continue reading
Go Fish
Overall, hunting season was pretty good in our area. We had much colder temperatures than normal early in the season and that was good for deer and duck hunters. Union Parish is one of the top two parishes in the state for deer hunting and this season did not disappoint. In fact, the busiest folks … Continue reading
How to b(eat) the cold!
It’s too cold outside for me to hunt or fish today, so I thought I’d write about something I really know about: What’s the best way to deal with sub-freezing weather and northern winds that make you feel like a redneck eskimo? Fry up a good mess of fresh venison, make some old fashioned thick … Continue reading
Spreading the Gospel
God uses many people in many different ways to spread the gospel. This was on Facebook this week and I thought it was worth sharing.
