Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

On this trip I was concentrating on soft mast such as muscadines, persimmons and in some areas, crab apples. A…
(Odyssey: a long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune.) The thought that one day I would hang up my guns and hunt no more has never presented itself. A man does not live long lacking the very essence of life; for me, the hunt is that essence. Hunt, mind you.…
