If there is one thing I’ve learned over 7 years of blogging, it is that comments are very important. Things have become a little stale around here and I needed to come up with a way to bring in some fresh comments. I’m not above bribery, so I thought I’d give something away. Here is the deal, I’ve got a spare Gerber Ripstop II (specs available here) that I’m willing to give to one lucky commenter. All you have to …

Being a carnivore, I love me some jerky. Straight up beef jerky from the grocery store is good but wild game is simply fantastic. I got a taste for deer and goose jerky a few years back.

Goose Season is in full swing and, enjoying it as much as I do, I try not to pass up the opportunity to sit out in a corn field and try my hand at brining down a bird. Over the weekend our area had a snow accumulation of a few inches. To make matters worse, some freezing rain followed the snow and created a hard crust. It would be a lot of work for geese to break through the crust …
The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. When you read that quote in school did you ever think it would fit so perfectly into your adult life? Earlier in the week I made plans to get together with my Hunting Mentor and try for a Deer. There is nothing unusual about deer hunting, we’ve gone out together a number of times this season. The plan was to head into work a little early so that I …
