Country Women, Ya Gotta Love ‘em

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

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

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

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

Life Or Death Battle With A Buck

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 Lures Inc.

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, […]

Hiking with Kids

Hiking with Kids

When my children were barely more than babies, I took them hiking on designated nature trails and in all kinds of weather. Each of them had a small pack they would carry, filled of their favorite snack or drink. Now, obviously, you cannot cover long distances with young children with you, but you can expose […]

An In-depth Redneck Discussion

An In-depth Redneck Discussion

I looked around the table and felt a deep sense of warmth strike me. While not actually a very feely touchy kinda guy, I was very satisfied being where I was. Additionally, the people I sat with were all family or close friends. Bubba was there with his wife, Maude, my mom, Willy Eugene and […]

Moving to L.A. by Rob Robinson

Well the move of Robinson Outdoors to L.A. is complete. No I haven’t lost my mind and gone to Los Angeles. That is L.A. as in lower Alabama. My paying gig has caused me to move to Hartford Al., a small agricultural town outside Dothan. I now live where over one half of the world’s […]
