When I read that a new episode in the Star Wars saga is coming out in December, I was as thrilled as a wookie getting a flea collar.[…]
I don’t know many outdoorsmen who would argue against habitat management. We all want more forests to support more deer, squirrels, turkeys and rabbits. We all want to protect our marshes so we can watch swarms of ducks cup into a spread of dekes.[…]
Every time I think of squid, two things pass into my mind. First is the monstrous squid that attacked Capt. Nemo’s submarine, the Nautilus, in the wonderful 1954 movie classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, which is based on the Jules Verne novel by the same name. […]

While fishing is good this month, there is much to do in the fields and woods to get ready for the fall season.[…]
All fishermen are liars, but fly fishermen embellish with style.[…]
