Outdoor Truths
 Timing is everything. Have you ever just felt like you were out of sync with what was going on in the woods or on the water? Sometimes it seems that on the days that you can go fishing, the weather is terrible or the fish are uncooperative. And on the days that you can’t go or just decide not to go, those are the days that limits are caught in the first hour. It’s the same with hunting.

Listen To Life

What’s your legacy?
