4/25/2013 The Black & White of It
4-25-2013 Here’s the black and white of hunting and fishing Wisconsin in late April, with all eyes on May 4 and open fishing. If you’re chasing turkeys in the south, at least you have bare ground despite the near non-stop rain. If you’re after Tom in the north country, you&r... More
4/18/2013 Taxes, Blood & Terror
4-18-2013 You have your own images of the week. I have a question and a suggestion; what is your opinion of waterboarding?

4/3/2013 A Florida Hello
4-2-2013 We’ll be getting back to you late this week with a report on fishing the Gulf of Mexico. It’s amazing, though, that such an expanse of water can be so greatly affected by cold weather and water temperatures, like a Wisconsin pothole. During the same week in 2012, Sc... More

2/14/2013 Great Guides, Great Lakes, Great Fish
2-14-2013 When I sent my daughter off to college, I assured Taylor that the academic...and maybe party experience was the best 10 years of my life. No, I’m not a doctor.

1/3/2013 Ready, Aim...Fire the Liberal Media
1-3-2013 Let’s today contrast American perspectives of life and the value of freedom, as seen through the views of two people speaking on whether or not firearms should be further restricted in the United States.

11-29-2012 If Wisconsin’s deer herd numbers and correlating hunting experience has seen tough times over the last decade in many regions, we who traditionally hunt in Vilas County have been in the abyss. Hunting had evolved and deteriorated to going through the motions to see nothing. H... More
