While there is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing the traditional dishes, maybe you’ve grown tired of it. If your family is like mine,Continue reading “Something Other Than Turkey”

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and the smell of pumpkin spice everything consumes my life. No, I don’t care for the smell, but it cannot be avoided in the general public. Retail stores are beginning to advertise massive sales for the holiday season, but most importantly, Mississippi’s whitetail gun season begins next weekend. I’ve had trailContinue reading “Thankful for 2020”

What a week! As I sit in relative peace and write this, I feel almost shot mentally and physically. Looking back on the week, I am relieved that WCU was on trimester break, which provided some much needed reprieve. On Tuesday, I made sure that I fulfilled my duty as an American citizen and wentContinue reading “Wishing Away Time”

It’s late September which usually means a few things in the South. Hurricane season is at its peak, college football season is rolling, and deer season is fast approaching. Late September is a very busy time for those along the Gulf Coast, which reminds me to check my gear and make sure I’ve got allContinue reading “Meat on the Table”

I’ve got good friends. My blog should be a testament to that. Through the years I’ve been fortunate enough to get to do some really cool stuff with some even cooler people. From deer hunts on land that most can only dream about, deep sea fishing trips 80 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico,Continue reading “Mississippi Monster”

August has come and almost gone. Fishing in the August heat is tough. Deer season is still a ways away, but close enough to start getting excited about. So what do we do in August to pass the time to get us closer to archery season, or cooler weather to make fishing more enjoyable? WeContinue reading “Slaying Dragons”

It’s that time of the year where I usually start counting the days until October 1st. In case you don’t know the significance of the date, October 1st is the opening day of bow season in the Mississippi Delta. October is just a fun month, period. Usually by October the Mississippi heat has somewhat subsided,Continue reading “Is It October Yet?”
