8/18/2016 9:55:00 AMIn the parking lot of the local East Troy Piggly Wiggly, my mind was elsewhere, as I was attempting not to squash certain grocery items as I tossed them into the back seat of my Ford 150.

8/1/2016 4:40:00 PMJerry Seinfeld always stated that his TV show (1989-1998) was: “The show about nothing!” …….without his success and really without much success at all, or possibly no success, I kind of see myself as the Jerry Seinfeld of outdoor writers. Basically, regarding my past experiences revolving around hunting, I write abou...

7/19/2016 10:05:00 AMThe year was 1958 and for the second year in a row, the Milwaukee Braves were in the World Series. The year before, the Braves were world champions, and at age six, I just started following our baseball team. That October of 1958, my parents took me out of school for a week in Canada. It kind of was a family vacation as we went as a family and a d...

7/10/2016 1:35:00 PMI have always had a respect for and a fear of fire. I have stared into a blazing fire and I have caught myself nearing a hypnotic state. At our onetime property up in Phelps, I did enjoy a good marshmallow roasting, stone rimmed campfire and creating s’mores on the beach. Also, my wife and I really do savor a glowing fire in our f...

6/29/2016 8:30:00 AMI believe the year to be 1988, I was reading about the relatively new (1982) organization of Pheasants Forever (PF) and I became interested in starting a Wisconsin chapter. Prior to that time, I understand there was only one other chapter in our state. For me, the entire process was extremely simple. I contacted PF and I talked to a gentleman by th...

6/24/2016 11:20:00 AMIf you are near my age of 65, you should remember one of the hit TV shows from 1957-1963. The TV show was, “Have Gun-Will Travel.” As I was looking back at that western, I started thinking that the name of that show could also pertain to all the hunters I hunt with and their guns. I see each gun being an extension of that ...

6/15/2016 12:00:00 PMIn my grade school library, I can remember more than one teacher scolding me for always reading the current issues of Outdoor Life and Field and Stream rather than a book. I read about trips to the pheasant fields of South Dakota, the flooded timbers of Arkansas, and the open sea and the ducks on the east coast. Those trips that I read and day dr...

6/1/2016 10:15:00 AMGrowing up in my neighborhood, all of us played sports. All summer long, my best friend John, would come over every morning and wake me up.

5/26/2016 1:55:00 PMWhen I was a child, I wished I was born in the days of Davy Crockett. I believed life would have been grand, if I could have shared adventures with the 1950’s, Walt Disney’s TV character. Like almost every kid in America, I wanted so badly to wear one of those coonskin caps. My mother wouldn’t allow it, because I would, “Cat...

5/18/2016 12:50:00 PMAs a young hunter, I had a love affair with squirrels. I did hunt pheasants and some waterfowl, but primarily, I was a squirrel hunter.

5/11/2016 12:15:00 PMAs a young boy, Horicon Marsh was this magical place far, far away. It was so far, that my dad had to sleep over night the entire weekend.
