Throw another blog on the fire...

After sitting idly by and reading other people's blogs from time to time over the last year or two I figured it was high time I joined in on the ruckus. My main focus will be writing about the many outdoor misadventures I inevitably find myself enjoying with friends and family. I probably won't delve into my personal life much and I'll try not to get too preachy. All I am really after is to create a forum for my hunting and outdoor stories that my friends and other like-minded people might enjoy. Obviously, hunting can be a controversial issue for some people, and I can respect that, I only ask that they respect my rights as well. Ideally, some people will visit this blog who don't hunt or who aren't outdoor types and will come away with new insight and perspective on why people hunt and spend countless hours freezing their tails off on a winter's day. Too many people who are against hunting focus only on the death or killing of an animal, and there is just so much more to it than that.

I enjoy all sorts of outdoor pursuits, and I'll try just about anything once. I may write about cutting wood, a float trip, training dogs, deer hunting, salt water fishing, or any other number of topics. However, my main focus will most likely be on waterfowl & upland bird hunting which are what I love to do the most. Hopefully, this blog will be different from the sea of blogs that now infiltrate the WWW and will serve as a respite for those who enjoy the outdoors as much as I do. Who knows? Somebody might actually learn something, it will more than likely be what not to do, but at least a lesson will be taught!

Until next time.
