Deafness won’t stop this hunter

The 2009 fall firearm turkey season that ended last Saturday proved what most turkey hunters already knew, there are a lot  of turkeys in Missouri woods and although there are a few less today than a  month ago, the state’s turkey flock is in good shape.

I recently watched a hunting show on television that made me think. My significant other, Cathy, watched the same show, turned to me and said, “That’s wrong!” I agreed.

Hunting seasons are popping up like spring mushrooms.

Like a lot of my outdoor buddies, I’m not a big phone person. So when I get that rare call from my fellow hunter/golfer/videographer Rod Owen of Blue Springs I make certain assumptions.

This has been a strange fall. We have enjoyed a few warm days and way too many cold, rainy days.
But even though hunting season is around the corner, don’t miss the opportunity to take your child fishing on a nearby farm pond or small lake.

Except on a thick crust, surrounded by pepperoni, olives and cheese, I’m not all that enamored with mushrooms as an item you put in your mouth.

You can tell it’s hunting time. I received my official snipe hunting field guide, which included a master snipe hunter patch, a booklet of snipe hunting lore and a printed snipe gunnysack.
