I was putting away all the deer guns yesterday. They have been sitting out for nearly a month. You can blame it on procrastination, but this is sort of the last thing that needs to be done before season is really over for me. You can see why it might be a little harder to do.

SODIUM BICARBONATE Well, for starters, I decided to push my baking soda regimen as far as I dared. The results? 1) The second rinse in the … Continue reading →
Now there’s Escanaba in Da Moonlight— for free yet, eh? I was stuck for a night at a Super 8 in East Scumsuck, Ohio waiting for a storm to blow through night before last. I was feeling lower than a buckless Youper. I had nothing but a laptop and an … Continue reading →
Political leaders in cash-strapped Kentucky are proposing winter getaway packages for hunters that would allow them to shoot deer at publicly owned parks to raise money for state government.

Over on Turkey and Turkey Hunting, I was trying this past season to come up with a rational way to discuss the range at which we shoot turkeys. A lot of guys go out turkey hunting with guns rigged for 70 yards, but never get a shot at turkeys closer … Continue reading →
