A near perfect day for goose hunting was seemingly in store for us as we watched the Johnson grass buck in the stiff northerly wind. We were following the truck of one of Clint Matthew’s guides through the vast fields of long-ago harvested rice fields, almost tailgating so as not to lose him on the unfamiliar highways of the area around Kaplan.[…]
And here I thought “Shark Expert” Dr. Erich Ritter took the cake.[…]
Twelve-year-old Louis Rossignol Jr. hadn’t been in his box stand overlooking the foodplot for 10 minutes, and his heart was already in his throat. His eyes bugged. He didn’t breath; he gasped. His father — tense, eyes riveted — looked over his son’s shoulder.[…]

President Theodore Roosevelt declared the Philippine Insurrection to be put down and ended on July 4, 1902.[…]
The day had aged by only about 15 minutes when the buck appeared about 40 yards from the stand.[…]
