Let No One Tell You Snow and Ross’s Geese Aren’t Delicious!
As a conservation professional, I get sick and tired of people calling snow and Ross’s geese nasty nicknames and saying that they are downright unfit to eat. Look, they are not “sky carp,” “lutefisk with feathers,” “an over-cooked catcher’s mitt,” “rats with white feathers,” or “trash birds.” No, not by a long shot! Your blogger …

Everything You Need to Know About Fishing for Bass in the WInter
Bass fishing doesn’t have to end in winter. Many bass anglers hang up their fishing gear during the cold weather of the winter months because it’s so much harder to catch fish. This is especially true in northern states where the water temperatures dip to very low levels. I live in Michigan, so I feel

Kyrgios, Nadal Could Clash in Acapulco Again
Defending Acapulco champion downplays bad blood with king of clay.
Top-seeded Rafael Nadal and nemesis Nick Kyrgios gave us a blockbuster Acapulco epic last February.
The volatile Kyrgios fought off three match points edging Nadal and muting the pro-Rafa crowd with a gripping and contentious 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(6) triumph. That inspired comeback win igntited Krygios on a rousing title run.

In his first match since bowing to Dominic Thiem at the Australian Open, Nadal will face fellow Spaniard Pablo Andujar in his opener followed by a potential second-rounder vs. either Aussie Alex de Minaur or 50th-ranked Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
The sixth-seeded Kyrgios, who withdrew from Delray Beach last week nursing a wrist issue, launches his title defense vs. Frenchman Ugo Humbert.
It will be Kyrgios' first match since falling in four tight sets to Nadal in the Australian Open fourth round last month.
The temperamental Aussie admitted he tried drilling Nadal "square in the chest" during his second-round Wimbledon loss last summer.
In Melbourne, Kyrgios downplayed a rift with Nadal saying there is no bad blood in their sometime acrimonious rivalrty.
"I don't really know Rafa. I've never, like, hung out with him or anything like that," said Kyrgios. "So I don't really know how he is. I don't really dislike him. I never said…
"I mean, I don't know him at all. Hell of a tennis player. Don't know him as a person. I'm sure he's okay."
