  • Nature’s Daily Message

       As time goes by, I see more and more revelations in the outdoors that are analogous to significant meanings in human life. It is as if nature is our teacher, constantly showing us meanings; demonstrating truths.
       One of the most striking examples for me is the parallels of what we consider an ordinary day with the time we celebrate as Easter. Each day in nature is a mini-Easter if you will. In writing our language, we capitalize the word Easter. Sometimes I want to capitalize the word day, because nature's 24 hour day illustrates the details and patterns of so much that is significant in life, most notably the Creation and the pathway to life that may change form but does not cease.

  • Mike Tony Knight: Passing of a Legend

       Tony Knight hailed as the Father of Modern Muzzleloading and the Founder of Knight Rifles died Monday in Iowa. Though many hunters may not have known him, Knight probably had a bigger impact on the sport of muzzleloading and primitive weapons hunting than any other person in our lifetime. As a teenager I tried hunting with the old smoke poles during some of the first primitive weapons seasons. And I can tell you right now it didn’t take me long to become frustrated with those rifles.

  • Grace Grace Catches Lunker Bass

       Steve Grace recently had the two momentous events occur in his life in the same week. If you know him then it wouldn’t be a stretch to believe he’d been fishing again, or that he’d caught a nice bass. But, this time he actually caught the bass of a lifetime.
