Something to Listen To. . .
I know what you have all been doing the past few weeks. While you are “working at home” you are watching a lot more TV, listening to a lot more radio. By now you have seen all the same stupid movies a couple, three times. Sports TV is worthless, but still better than sports talk …

Florida Panther Fight Caught on Film for the First Time Ever
A pair of wild Florida panthers were caught brawling on video by a turkey hunting guide in Devil’s Garden, Florida. It’s perceived as the first footage ever captured of such an event. When Florida guide and land manager Andres Pis took to a blind southwest of Lake Okeechobee down in the Sunshine State with his

Fight!
When I am in the office, which has not been much lately, at the bottom of the stairs is a mount of two Tom turkeys fighting. I love that mount, love that I walk by it at least a couple times every day. It reminds me of a story. . . . My sister married …

Fly Fishing Guide
Haven’t posted anything from Hank Patterson for a while. This is a good one, and I believe, a little teaser of more to come. Of course you know, what makes things like that humorous is that there is at least some truth to it! If you know a fishing guide or two, especially a fly-fishing …

Comfort
In these unusual times I think we are all just hoping for a little bit of normalcy. We all hate change and the unknown. It would be nice to know things are going to be “normal” again. Would be nice to know things are normal now. I found some of that the other evening. Found …

Cold Water Boat Safety
Last week the weather was nice, temperatures were warm and none of you would have listened to me. . . . This week the reality of springtime in Nebraska has slapped us in the face, again. Maybe I can get a few of you to consider some things. . . . I know we are …

While at Home, Watch Birds
You’re staying at home, hardly going anywhere except for essentials. There’s not a lot to do. Or, is there? Have you ever taken the time to watch or listen to the birds around your yard, acreage, farmstead, ranch house or lake house? After all, it is spring and that means courtship, breeding and nesting. But …

Stupid Friday
Considering the circumstances, I have been trying to keep my Friday blog posts lighthearted the past few weeks. I will continue that trend today with some stupid memes I have saved. This seems to be as good a time as any to use them. You know there is very little demand for fish jokes. I …

It is Spring and Crappies Are on the Mind
If you blog about the outdoors, fish and fishing, subject matter is seasonal. Same time every year the same subjects are relevant and I will probably blog about them in some form. I hope people do not mind “re-runs”, but I am betting most will not remember, and there are a bunch of new readers. …

Social Distancing Champion
With the current status of our world, I have been spending way too much time watching TV and surfing the interwebs. Idiocy reigns. Oh sure, I have slipped out for some social distancing, sunshine, mental and physical health therapy. Then, it is back home. However, I have seen one commercial recently that I kinda like: …

Kid’s System
I am going to re-post a blog that I did several years back. This blog has been a good one to reference over the years, but with web page changes and so forth I can no longer do that. So, I am just going to post it again. Perhaps you and the kids have some …

Road Closures, Spring 2020
When we put out a news release like this, I do not know how widespread it is distributed. My hunch is they need to get out even more, so. . . . We still have some bad road conditions on several areas in the state. Some of these conditions go clear back to last year, …

Next Time You’re Confronted By an Anti-Hunter, Show Them This Animated Breakdown
This video by the German Hunting Association does a great job of explaining the benefits of hunting in simple and easy to understand terms. Far from being the bloodthirsty animal murders that anti-hunters try to paint them as, hunters are actually some of the biggest supporters of conservation in the world. Unfortunately, this fact often

Some Lightness for the Weekend
I have been getting “out” and practicing some social distancing when I can. But, like many, I have spent a lot of time recently watching stuff on the internet. Let me share a couple that I liked: First one is an interesting, but short, battle with a muskie: If you have been reading my blog …

Just an Eagle
Last spring, I received a call from conservation officer Matt Seitz who asked me to pick up an eagle that had fallen from a nest near Barneston. Although I was on vacation at the time, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hold a baby eagle. I said I would get it and went out …

New Research on Eastern Redcedar
For decades, mechanical removal has been a key strategy to control eastern redcedar, an invasive species sweeping north across the Great Plains. But new research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln indicates that this method isn’t as successful as previously expected. Eastern redcedar moves aggressively, with the ability to convert open grasslands to woodland in as …
