3/28/2017 10:10:00 AMI have mentioned that I have been on hunting trips ranging from great to poor. The reader should be able to establish where this hunt fits into that great/poor spectrum. My son Nate and I wanted to extend our 2013 waterfowl hunting season so we researched spring, Snow Geese, guided hunts near the Yankton, South Dakota area. I had heard from several...

3/22/2017 3:40:00 PMIn 1980, Iowa was king of the pheasant hunting world harvesting nearly 1.4 million pheasants. After researching 1980, I was wondering when pheasants were at their peak. I found that 1945 South Dakota had the highest harvest year on record with 7.5 million pheasants in the bag. This happened, after the conclusion of World War II wi...

3/13/2017 2:25:00 PMThis column will be a little different than most as it is my satire on: “I haven’t shot ducks that well!” There, I’ve said it. I admit it: “And geese are bigger and probably slower than ducks and I’ve missed more than my share of those too.” Pheasant, now there’s a bird, I can shoot at ...

2/28/2017 10:10:00 PMLast week, I was driving east at a good pace on Walworth County’s Highway J, when suddenly a large hen turkey came out of nowhere and landed in front of my Ford 150. I had oncoming traffic on my left and I didn’t want to risk driving right into the ditch with many mature trees growing nearby, so hitting the turkey was my only alte...

2/17/2017 10:00:00 AMIn the field, there were two times that by definition, I might not have been lost, but I sure didn’t know where I was.

In 2007, for the first time, my chocolate lab Hershey and I were hunting in the 1,160 acre Allenton Marsh Wildlife Area....

2/13/2017 9:40:00 PMPreviously, I have written about some fond memories that I have regarding my father introducing me to hunting. He always tried to make my hunting experiences into positive adventures as I recall him constantly positioning me for the best shot. He was proud but silent, when I did harvest a squirrel or a pheasant. However, our relationship was not a...

1/27/2017 10:15:00 AMFor most of my life, I have been fortunate that I have lived with dogs. Some of my earliest memories consist of me playing with Bassett Hound puppies in our kennel. I remember cuddling with our old Bassett, Daisy Lazy Mae, and then attempting to pull her in my wagon. When she was not in the kennel, I was instructed to always keep an eye...

1/16/2017 1:30:00 PMDuring the summer of 2016, I reunited with seven of my college fraternity brothers that I haven’t seen or talked to since 1973. None of them were hunters and I tried to explain to them my love of the outdoors, our five Labradors and specifically game bird hunting. It was difficult for these golfing suburban Chicago men to relate to my p...

The year was 1965, when my dad enjoyed hanging around with his cronies at the Hal...

12/30/2016 10:45:00 AMDuring the 1950’s and 1960’s in Franklin, Wisconsin, growing up next to a river, made this young boy’s life just a whole lot better. Today, by definition, technically, it should be labeled a stream. The other boys in the neighborhood and I never called it a river or a stream. To us, it was the creek. Now, that word might loo...
