Dave, a buddy of mine and I had been fishing on one of the many lakes in central Florida.
The fishing was incredible. We had been using big shiners and it seemed that those largemouth bass were almost eager to be caught.
We had caught several fish in the eight pound category, releasing them no worse for [...]

 
 
 
 
Don, a fire spotter for the U.S. Forest service was hiking down a little used trail in an area seldom visited by man in one of those vast wilderness areas of Montana.  As he came around a bend in the trail he spotted a young black bear moving in his direction on the same trail.
The [...]

I don’t want to alarm you by what I am going to say but I want you consider the implications carefully. Civilization as we know it might be, probably is, definitely is, nearing an end.
I have never considered myself a conspiracy theory nut, or, contrary to popular opinion, any sort of nut. Just because I [...]

Another episode in: THE FINER ART OF HOUSE KEEPING FOR DISCRIMINATING GUYS
As is usual with things of this magnitude it all started quite innocently enough.  I decided to clean the refrigerator.  Why I felt that this was necessary I can’t imagine, after all, when a thing has gone ten years without being cleaned there can’t [...]

I am somewhat remiss for having left out this portion of Killer’s tale, please forgive my remissiveness. 
We mustn’t dismiss this tragic tale of woe without regaling and beguiling you with one more of our misadventures with my faithful ‘coon hound, “Killer” otherwise, A.K.A. “Ol’ Pisser.”
Oh yes, I feel somewhat obligated to honor a fellow, or is it that, [...]

Well, as you remember, last time we had about given up on ever finding “Killer.” Dootsie Bobo and I agreed that some other unscrupulous hunter had stolen my new, “double pedigreed” ‘coon hound and we were on the way home.  We would resume the search on the next day.
The dog pee on Dootsie Bobo’s trouser [...]

I was about fifteen years old when I bought my first hunting dog.                 
 
When dealing with a veteran horse trader or a dog dealer there are certain things that you should never forget, at least if you possess half the intelligence of a retarded Monkey.  
 
I forgot that Old Ed was both a horse [...]

I am sure that by now as we have become acquainted you have noticed that I am of a somewhat sensitive nature and that I avoid disgusting like the plague but I feel obligated to warn you lest you fall into the same trap I found myself in this last week.
It all began innocently enough. [...]

As dogs go Lucky was unique.
One of his traits was his gentle, laid back character, sort of a cross between a manic crocodile and a T-Rex on uppers.
Lucky would challenge all comers and fight at the drop of a hat but his sweet disposition, though endearing was not his most attractive characteristic.
What really set Lucky [...]

SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT
“The country is going to hell in a hand basket!” And, “Have you seen the price of gas lately?” Or how about this one, “And the cost of food? Why, we aren’t going to be able to afford to eat if this keeps up!”
The doomsayers, as they whimper and whine about [...]
