Wake-up calls can come from the strangest places at the strangest times. While attending a gun show in Jackson a few months back, I got a rude awakening from a guy walking the show floor.

The late, great Robert Ruark wrote for many of the big outdoor mags in the 1950s and ’60s, and began a series of columns that would become one of the all-time hunting classics, entitled “The Old Man and the Boy.” […]

And, for me and lots of you, that first cool morning signals the beginning of one of the very best times of the year to catch a mess of white perch. […]
Archery hunting continues to be a fast-growing sport. With bow season just opening, many hunters are still on the fence wanting to try it for the first time. […]
