Heroes . . .
June 14, 2019 08:00Before Instagram and Youtube, Duck Dynasty and Meateater and Charlie Moore, before Facebook and viral videos and podcasts, there were heroes. Not the kind in Marvel, or Justice League, or whatever the franchise du jour is . . . Real, honest to God heroes.

On Teachers and Legacy . . .
May 09, 2019 10:45Mrs. McCarty had this contest. It was 4th grade, and it was me or Carey Corbett, and the idea was to see how many of Florida’s counties we could name. We tied. Then we had to name the county seats. Carey won. But I gave her a heck of a fight. We read a Land Remembered and studied the Seminole Wars and Flagler and Plant.

An Open Letter about Carlos Beruff
January 09, 2019 10:00Governor Desantis, I am writing to implore you to rescind Governor Scott’s egregious overreach of naming Carlos Beruff as an FWC Commissioner last week.

Coleman
September 14, 2018 22:30It’s the hardest thing, losing a dog. I was just reminded of that truth. We’d had a good day. A good walk that morning. A leisurely nap together on the couch. He’d eaten the last of my roast beef sandwich for lunch, just the way it should be. For 16 years, he was my constant. I’ve known him longer than I’ve known my wife or my son. When I was single, I had a twin bed that he was always in – me, 6’3″ and full-figured, and a 45 lb puppy. He never left my side, day or night, never out of e...

The Old Man
September 07, 2018 11:08An ode to Ruark. And also our grandfathers. The Old Man watches as the steam rises off his coffee mug, just poured from the old rusty thermos his wife gave him so long ago. He drinks his coffee black. No cream. No sugar. It’s just easier that way. His pale, grey eyes scan the darkness for the faintest flicker of movement. His hands caress the checked wood grain of his father’s Remington, each scar and carving familiar to his touch. The Kid is drifting in and out of sleep at the other end...
#51: Ducks as College Football Teams
September 04, 2018 08:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBDuck season is fast approaching. College Football Season has already started. How does a wayward outdoors podcast combine the two?

To the Hunt
August 31, 2018 10:00Here’s to 2 am alarm clocks and ice on the windshield. To us not being sure why our hands are shaking – is it the bitter cold, or the monstrous 10 point that just stepped into the clearing. The sound of a wood duck whistling his way unseen through the darkness seconds before shoot time. The rattle of the dog boxes as the pointers bang their tails against the side, desperate to find their next quail. The snap of a twig behind you in the tree stand – Unknown yet full of promise. The whistles...

August 27, 2018 22:46I’m sick of this mess. I’m sick of Big Sugar, and Discharges, and Red Tide and Mosaic and Cyanobacteria and Septic Tanks and Glyphosate.
