Kansas Goose Hunting
It really hasn’t been cold here yet this year, and most of the waterfowl is still north of here, but we have been seeing a few Canadas and an increasing amount of snows and blues. So this morning we were on a mission to show a couple of Texans a good Kansas hunt. [...]

Lead Ban Chronicles – Friends Un-looked For?
I’ve been running real short on motivation for blogging lately. I’m not sure why, because I actually have a handful of topics and posts I’ve been wanting to work on, but I just haven’t been able to get myself to write it all up. Oh well, this too shall pass.
