This morning I was listening to the radio and a broadcaster mentioned their sports wishes for 2013. While a huge sports fan, my brain immediately went in a different direction: outdoor wishes. And here is my list: 1) to find myself lost at the Valentine NWR this spring, wading through …
Let me be honest. What you’ll see in the attached video is not entirely accurate. I did briefly drag my feet in the middle of my run down the Mahoney State Park Toboggan Run. Why? To be very honest, I was afraid. Very afraid. So for you thrill seekers out …
Don’t get a hikers hiking boots unless you know exactly what theywant. Don’t get waterfowl hunters decoys unless they’re hand-picked by the hunters themselves.
