Some of you will recognize the actor Will Geer. You will remember him as either the fur-clad mountain man who asked Jeremiah Johnson  (Robert Redford), “Can you skin griz, pilgrim?” Or you might recognize him as Grandpa on the 1970s TV series “The Waltons.” Will Geer was born in 1901 in Indiana, about nine months…

Fair Chase, Or Is It?

With two of my sons home on leave from the U.S. Army over the holidays, we spent a significant amount of time in the woods with our bows. To a great delight, my son Jared and I both arrowed deer. It was awesome to dress and drag these deer out, a true labor of love.…
