Maybe you have seen the movie The Big Country. Released in 1958 the film is set in the American west and in general deals with a land feud between two neighboring ranchers. An underlying theme of the movie is the incredible vastness of the land. In an early scene Gregory Peck’s character has an exchange with a resident of the area about the immense proportions of the land all around them.

I knew we were reaching the breaking point. Sitting at the base of a huge white oak tree, we were dealing with a stubborn ol' gobbler that I knew was not going to show himself, or at least not right now. As he gripped a borrowed 20-gauge shotgun, I knew the kid next to me was in a strain — because I had been there many times before.

Case: Some hunters who say they ‘got it done’ may have missed the mark

Standing between the two big rocks on the crest of the ridge, I felt pretty special. Not me, myself, being special, you understand. No, I felt special, lucky and blessed just to be here. I have talked about these two boulders before, and they stand as sentinels on this high and wild ridge. It's not the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there. I have always thought that this long ridgeline was and is a natural thoroughfare.
Take that kid turkey hunting

I knew we were reaching the breaking point. Sitting at the base of huge white oak tree we were dealing with a stubborn ol’ gobbler that I knew was not going to show himself, at least not right now. The young man sitting on my right shoulder had done all that was asked of him in a difficult situation. This little turkey party had started like a lot of them, lots of gobbling at first, and it seemed he was going to march right in and shake hands.

Case: Return to Elk Mountain brings reminder of DNR’s dedication

The old brown Chevy is back in action as we hurtle through the darkness on another mission. In the predawn darkness, I am climbing up Lens Creek Mountain, headed to Logan County. I think about the madness of flying through the curves of this road. I used to be somewhat familiar with it, but now it is more like navigating a mine field, and in the dark on top of that.
"Gettiing it done," seems not to encompass the gist of what it mean to spend qualilty time in the woods

Are we “getting it done”? Standing between the two big rocks on the crest of the ridge I felt pretty special.

by Larry Case and Rob Reaser[Part 1 – Ballistics]Maybe you have noticed that things have changed in the turkey shotgun and ammo world. Once upon a time, most of us used one shotgun for just about everything. Whether ducks, rabbits, pheasants, deer, or turkeys, you grabbed the same scatter gun and went hunting. Thing is, this isn’t your Grandad’s turkey hunting world anymore. Almost everyone you know who hunts these crazy birds in the spring has at least one dedicated turkey shotgun.
