after a long day of fishing there are few things i enjoy more than sitting back by the fire and grabbing a cold drink from my cooler. the warmth of the fire contrasts with the icy beverage in my hand. i lean back and let the firelight play on my face as i take a […]
I’ve been a hunter since the age of 15 when I got a rifle and two gun slings for my birthday. I’ve hunted all sorts of game; from deer to rabbit to geese and turkeys. I’ve learned a few very important lessons in my time: Never walk with a gun unless the safety is on. […]
ice fishing in minnesota in january is probably one of the coldest activities imaginable, but with the right gear and good socks, it’s one of the most enjoyable activities i’ve ever engaged in. the entire experience is a thrill: rising before dawn, eating a hot breakfast, packing my gear up, driving to the lake, setting […]
