Welcome!

Think of this blog as a comfy room in an old hunting shack. A bunch of pot-bellied guys are sitting around a big pot-bellied stove shooting the breeze about our outdoor exploits, some of which may have actually happened. Several dogs of indeterminate lineage are lying around under our feet, and we’re probably having a drink or two.

How was your duck season? Where’d you shoot that big buck? (besides in the shoulder). Got any hero pictures of the monster trout you caught recently? How’s that new dog working out? Got any good turkey or pheasant stories? Any fly patterns you’d like to share? Read any good books about the outdoors lately? Planning any trips to the San Juan? The White? Canada?

That’s what this blog is all about. What this blog is NOT about is POLITICS unless it pertains directly to outdoor sports. I’m sure you’re not interested in my political opinions and I’m not interested in yours.

So pull up a chair. What’s on your mind?

  1. I love those old photos.
    I want to know what that assault rifle was that Carols dad is holding!
    Also, I love that white hound dog. Beautiful!
    Thanks for showing these to us,

  2. As someone has dabbled in cartoon art for most of my life, I really liked your “Famous Comic Artists School” series of strips in National Lampoon. I remember cutting them all out and gluing them to poster board, which I think at one point was on the wall of one my high school classrooms. I wish I had kept it.
