This has been a humbling and gratifying month for me personally. I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern expressed by so many of you for me. I want to thank you all. And I want to let you all know that things are remarkably good. The trigger was Hurricane Irma. Some of you…
“JAKE!!! “Clamber down off’n that before you get shot!” That was the point at which I learned it’s highly unlikely that a heart attack will ever have any effect on me; if an infarction didn’t rear its ugly head as I walked into that store… The Old Hermit, as you are probably aware, tends to…

There are better things to do in a boat than undergoing surgery. Especially at the hands of a shaky semi-lunatic who can’t SPELL surgery. And whose eyes are just before rolling back up into his noggin at the sight of blood trickling down my neck. Or maybe it’s the three sets of treble hooks he’ll…
This column is designed to highlight the efforts of Georgia DNR Law Enforcement Division (LED) officers who, among their many duties, protect Georgia’s wildlife, sportsmen and natural resources from game-law violators.
