By now – in this trying year 2020 of Our Lord – those with kids are likely exhausting the youth-friendly quarantine activities. The novelty of the blow-up pool is waning as it slowly mutates into a mosquito-breeder. Sidewalk chalk, once used for communications of hope and inspiration with the outside world, has been tracked into the house and trampled into the rugs and carpeting leading to otherworldly profanity. The iPads have been employed so consistently they’re beginning to...

Nikon has long been my favorite brand for binoculars, cameras, rangefinders, and riflescopes, though they recently announced their exit from the riflescope game. They have built a reputation for quality products and excellent customer service. To help folks cope with stay-at-home orders and quarantines, Nikon is offering a series of free streaming photography classes. From Nikon: “Nikons mission has always been to empower creators. In these uncertain times, we can do that by helping creato...

I really, really, really didn’t want to focus on anything Coronavirus-related; it’s simply unavoidable. When I started writing this post, “ranting” about current affairs would’ve been the accurate temperament of literary style. About rotten turkey hunting luck and closures. My disdain for #socialdistancing attached to every outdoor-related Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter post. Joe Exotic and his cult of misfits spraying hot tiger urine in the faces of safe, legal g...

Hens walking up behind the blind. How she made the shot all on her own at age 8 with her new .410. Helping set up gear and toting it to our set-up. Excitement upon hearing the first gobbles. Descending into thinly veiled disappointment when they didn’t show… Read More » ...

With the minutes winding down on the final hunt, Team Four needed to scratch two more bobwhite to top the Century Mark on the day. Already out of contention for the grand prize, this final three-digit challenge was a consolation, as much as anyone requires consoling among the Georgia pines. Over a pristine Valentine’s Day weekend, I participated in a quail hunt at Sundown Farms Plantation near Moultrie for a charity event benefiting the Kate’s Story Foundation. The accommodations at&...

Hunters are running a little victory lap online at the moment. Coronavirus panic-preparation has vacuumed grocery shelves of domestic meats. Sportsmen – successful ones, at least – are touting their woodsmanship with photos of stocked freezers piled with wrapped wild game, many folks feeling like sultans, which is plenty fair. Country boys can survive and all that. (Just a thought for current times – this is a fine opportunity to introduce a non-hunting friend or neighbor to th...

A roommate of mine in college was a line cook at the Carrabba’s in Gainesville. He didn’t actually attend UF, rather he helped me move into an apartment one semester and never left. He was our very own Guy on the Couch who, despite employment, never had rent money, and whose clothes were piled in my room and reeked of that restaurant. To this day, I can’t dine there, much to Carolyn’s dismay. Part of the bargain in this arrangement,… Read More » ...
