Well, good news and bad news, I received an email from a friend in Cross Plains, Texas this week with a picture, above, of a nice long copperhead snake. There are a lot of snakes this year according to my friend and he trains dogs so he is our among them more than most people. […]
I have been reading several speculations on why WWI got started and how it could have and should have been avoided if only cousins who were the Monarchs of Europe could have just communicated a bit better and just gotten along with each other. Of course that is all mostly a bunch of bull because […]
Mary and I get into this discussion every year when cantaloupe come into season and begin to ripen. I don’t see any point in eating these delicious melons unless they have a reasonable coating of salt, preferably Kosher salt sprinkled over them. The same goes for watermelon only more so, I would always slip a […]
We will gather at the creek, Bluff Creek on Saturday the 17th of August to do a little bit of shooting and tune up for the 2014 Dove Day Hunt on September 6 in Brownwood. Keith has bunk space for lots of guys and Bluff Creek Farm out of Crawford is an easy day trip […]

Question, does it make much difference what kind of shells you use in your shotgun? Answer, yes it does make a little bit of difference and a little bit of improvement over four boxes of shells could mean a 20% increase in the number of doves your bring down. What this means to me is […]
I was recently visiting a fellow dove hunter and he shared some some game with me that included a few doves. Now I need to gently thaw them out, take the breast meat off of the bone, brine them and stuff them with fresh chopped jalapeños, wrap them in bacon and grill them fast and […]
Every year before Dove Day we try to get together for a little bit of food and shotgun practice during an August weekend. Larry told me that Keith has done some improvements on the area where we shoot skeet and of course he has the gun shooting lane, shown above, where we shoot pistols and […]
