It’s cold and rainy and to top it off the wind is blowing like crazy. Even though it is late May I am thinking it is great day to sit home by the fire. But here I am dressed for it (thankfully) in ample clothes under a rain coat and pants, with high top rubber boots. The mood is a little somber as the guides with West Virginia Experience slide the rafts into the New River. Maybe nobody thinks so right now, but it’s going to be a great day.
So you want to be a fishing guide?

I come to you hat in hand this morning. For those that don’t know that expression it means that you are humble, contrite, and you hope those you are addressing will accept your message with an attitude of compassion. There may very be those that would occasionally look at these columns and think, “Does he ever get a turkey?” Well for the record I do, but certainly not with the regularity of “once upon a time.”kAmxE’D 92C5 E@ 6IA=2:? 3FE :E D66>D E92E :?

Case: Fellow turkey hunters, here’s to all the ones that got away

1 month ago | timesfreepress.com | Larry Case

I am telling you all this to say something many of you already know: Turkey hunters aren't normal. I am not sure there is another group of hunters who can go for many sessions in the woods without bagging the game they are after and still think all is OK.
