I’m not what you would call a good note taker. About 5 minutes into a meeting at work I stop writing down pertinent information and start doodling. My notepad looks like Picasso’s 2nd grade sketch book. That’s just the way it is. So I’m about to tell you to do … Continue reading
What I’m Using Right Now
Anytime you see a picture of a fish what are the first two questions you ask the angler? Where did you catch it? What were you using? While most of the time the angler will give you an answer to both, you always have an uneasy feeling that their not … Continue reading
Peel and Stick Targets
I was sitting around the other day, not really paying attention to the television, and heard an advertisement for a new show about people who are preparing for the end of the world. One of the people on the show said something to the affect of “we have one gun … Continue reading
Urban Angling

Antler Restrictions Don’t Work
I admit it, I’m a cranky individual. I don’t walk around with a smile all the time. My truck doesn’t have witty bumper stickers (by the way I’m not interested in where your kid and your money attend college, how smart your dog is, that you would rather be driving … Continue reading
Getting Grounded
