The family had just sat down for a big evening meal. It had become less common to have the whole family together since so many had moved away from the farm. Bill and Eva had bought the land when Bill came home from World War II in the 40s. It was all woods when Bill…

One of the topics covered was a “Shoot, Don’t Shoot” section. On the screen was a group of six bucks approaching at different angles. Clearly the…
This bear-dragging business just ain’t what it used to be. For some reason or other, the last couple of years seem to have brought about either a decided increase in dead weight or a similarly marked decrease in my back’s desire to heave-ho for even a mile or three.
