Cranach the Elder’s Confusing Hunt Scenes

Oct 14, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams |Sporting Arts

Deer Hunt of Elector Friedrich the Wise, ViennaOr, More of the Sameby Brooke ChilversUntil you read it, study it, or figure it out yourself: You are not losing your mind when, standing before a painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553) of a demure Adam and Eve, or an agonizing Lucretia pressing a dagger to her breast, or a sober portrait of the artist’s friend Martin Luther, you are totally convinced you’ve seen this work before. Why?
Gierach - Gray's Sporting Journal

Oct 7, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams

John Gierachby Scott SadilWe were supposed to go fishing again this past spring. The trip was a makeup for one we had planned the previous fall which, come to think of it, was a makeup for another trip, one I couldn’t join because I had already bought a ticket to head that same week for the tropics.

From Denali to the Bering Sea coast and down to the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park, melting snowfields, eroding coastlines, and increasingly severe floods are unearthing artifacts faster than they can be preserved. Climate change also shows up as a stressor in Preservation Alaska’s annual list of at-risk historical sites.
The Devil Dwells in Wood

Oct 3, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams

Stocked by James Flynn of Alexandria, Louisiana, this Dakota No. 10 is a .250-3000. The walnut blank originated somewhere in the Himalayas, and Dowtin purchased it in a street market somewhere in the ‘Stans. Wonderful wood is where you find it. Bill called it the most extraordinary blank he’d ever seen, and we pondered long and hard where to use it. by David E. PetzalI dote on wood stocks.

Chinook salmon, femaleby Scott SadilI’d start by saying she was fat, really fat – but then immediately it would sound like the start of a bad joke, tasteless, inappropriate. How fat was she? She was so fat . . . . But it’s true: She was so fat I had to leave my rod at the bottom of the bank, down by the river, so I could haul the salmon, a big female chinook, up to my truck, parked alongside the state highway.
The Allure of Mobile Hunting

Sep 11, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams

Getting into a mobile-hunting system seems so involved, it's a wonder anyone would ever want to get out of one. On hanging from trees while hunting and not dyingby Teresa MullI went to the Northeastern Mobile Hunters Expo in Manheim, Pennsylvania, last month to see a man about a pair of boots (more on that later).
The Season - Gray's Sporting Journal

Chinook salmonby Scott SadilIt usually starts with the blackberries. My sweetheart, who attends to such things, scouts out a likely patch, harvests a few pails, and makes the best cobbler I’ve ever tasted, especially with the appropriate mound of vanilla ice cream melting on top. The pace quickens. Pickles. Salsa. Pesto. Tomato conserva.
A PH’s Lot Is Not A Happy One*

Sep 3, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams

Botswana professional hunter Chris Dandridge, wearing the world-weary expression of the PH experienced beyond his years. by David E. PetzalI grew up watching safari movies in which African professional hunters were portrayed by Clark Gable, Stewart Granger, Gregory Peck, and Rock Hudson, all splendid specimens of manhood. Then I went on safari, eleven of them, and encountered a great many PHs, not one of whom could pass as a matinee idol.
Somewhere, West - Gray's Sporting Journal

Aug 15, 2024 | grayssportingjournal.com | Sonny Williams

by Scott SadilDawn, breeze out of the southeast, the curdling gobble of sandhill cranes somewhere out in the field beyond the poplars, a mix of cottonwoods and aspen, with cedar waxwings sprinkled as if sunflower blossoms in the riffling leaves. Coffee, steel-cut oats, the raisins and cranberries soft and plump as over-ripe plums after the standard three-quarter hour simmer atop the HalfGen stove, quiet as the nearby river. Peter stirs, crawls out of his tent, accepts his half-filled ceramic mug.
