Hunting now safer than ever
When veteran Mississippi hunters talk about the differences between deer hunting now and 40 years ago, the conversation is usually a combination of the improvement in quality and quantity of deer.
We certainly do have bigger bucks and more of them, thanks to changes in attitude. Hunters, with guidance from wildlife officials, realized that deer management and selective harvest could produce better results.

Set your sights on three fish for fall
This month the coastal waters will be filled with flounder, speckled trout and redfish, in that order, said Capt. Sonny Schindler. Here are his thoughts on what will be waiting anglers who point their sights toward the coast. […]
As Big As they Grow
The more the merrier
Since last month, the Magnolia Crappie Club and crappie fishing in general here in Mississippi has really gotten busy.

Smith & Wesson hits the ‘sweet spot’ with their new Shield
One of my favorite “working” handguns has become my Smith & Wesson Military & Police Pro series pistol in 9 mm. This gun has a factory 4 1/2-pound trigger pull, and I recently purchased a Level III retention holster. With the blessing of my chief, it has become my duty sidearm. […]

Floating around for three hours with nothing but a Coleman cooler between you and drowning is enough to make a guy and his friends renew the commonsense boating habits they’ve let slide. […]

Frenzied bass can’t resist swimming jig

All flashes are not equal
This past week I ran by the showroom of one of my favorite hunting-products companies that, fortunately for me, happens to be headquartered about a 20-minute drive from my home. My goal was to check out their new trail camera line in person and grab two or three of their latest “black-flash” cameras to replace some of my older antiquated “red-glow” flash (so-called “infrared”) models.
