Hunting season is upon us again. In my home state of Tennessee, squirrel season opens at the end of August and dove season on the first day of September. This is a great time to introduce young and new hunters to the shooting sports. Many times, deer season comes and goes without a single shot being fired. And sometimes this can be discouraging for those who are excited about pulling the trigger.

Fertilized – Outdoor Truths – It seems, years ago, I simply reacted when hunting season came. The preparation phase lasted only about a month. The reason was because I hunted area farms. Unlike many hardwoods areas, farm-land hunting is fairly predictable.

I just received a notification on my phone from the Weather Channel. It said the heat index would reach around 105 degrees. And of course, my mind goes to the deeds at hand.

The summer can be slow for bass fishermen. The water is warm and the oxygen that fish need for peak activity is not found in warmer water. Therefore they tend to go deeper or become more active when the days are at their coolest.
