Walking Wounded
The following are really two stories, one about a terrific Gambel quail hunt and the other about an avoidable accident. The events took place in January 1974 and were spread out over a 15 hour period. Back then gas had climbed to $.50 per gallon and based on the Arab oil embargo, President Nixon had […]
Trout Fishing in the Missouri Ozarks
Trout fishing in the spring is a great sport for me. I find the colorful fish not only beautiful, but also very difficult to catch with flies. Then again, it just may be me. I grew up fishing catfish or bass. Perhaps I just don’t have the finely tuned senses to be a successful trout […]
Country Women, Ya Gotta Love ‘em
I’ve been married to a country woman forever and let me tell ya, they ain’t easy to live with. They have it easy, if they’re married to a country man, like me, ‘cause we’re God’s gift to mankind. The cost to keep a country man is pretty cheap, compared to other men, after all, all […]
My 2010 Bow Hunt by Jim Peterson
It was a cold evening, I had just gotten home from work and could not wait to get packed and loaded so I could just jump into the Ford truck the next morning at 4 am. It was late in the regular bow season and word was out that the rut appeared to be arriving […]
First Snow Deer Hunting
I always look forward to the first good snowfall of the deer season. Snow on the ground not only makes the deer easy to see against the white background it also makes for easy tracking. The story of where the deer moved and what they did is very evident in new snow. So when we […]
Dealing With Deer Hunting Trespassers
Sitting here with my feet firmly planted atop this big desk and losing myself in this chair, I find my mind bouncing back and forth. Opening day of the 2010 firearm deer season breaks loose here in Michigan just 4 hours from now. I’m neither tired or excited. Or maybe I’m too excited to realize […]
Life Or Death Battle With A Buck
In 1978, quail season in Georgia opened the Saturday before the opening of deer season and John Walton, a hunting buddy, Mark Greenberg, a church friend and also a hunting buddy, and I had arranged a quail hunt south of Jonesboro. Supposedly this was a good place. We arrived at the hunting area and unloaded […]
Basic Muskie Fishing
Muskie, musky, muskellunge, etc. whatever you call it, it is the fish of 10,000 casts. I guarantee you they’ll wait you out. I told this to a friend on one of his first trips muskie fishing with me. An hour or so later I noticed his mouth moving and no voice. I asked him if […]
The Colorado from Thomas Spinning Lur...
By the time warm summer water temperatures in lakes and deeper slow moving streams begin to rescind from as high as the 70’s all the way back to the 50’s in October, many species of trout in these warmer waters have already met their demise. If the early spring anglers did not take them out, […]
