It's been one of the hottest summers on record in this region and with crops being down for the last 3 - 4 weeks, the geese know where the food is. Trying to hide in plain sight on a turned field is virtually impossible . . . but these goys get 'r done. Check the story out here on a fantastic early and tough goose hunt.

Take a look at some of the local birds and other birds taken by locals from various parts of North America - we don't all hunt here. Nothing sexier than a big Tom with a great beard and long spurs and big ol' jelly head. Check them out here.

There are songs that entertain, songs that bring back memories and songs that resonate with a niche group of listeners -- then there are songs that do all of the above and Randall Haley has accomplished that in his music. Seldom do you meet such a down to earth person that 'walks the talk'. No pretense. No fluff. No BS. This man and his music will endure due to it's simplicity and honest theme. Read more about Randall and his music here.

Taking to the roads and fields to reduce the coyote population is exhilirating and just plain addicting to a group of 'Predator Control Specialists' in Essex County. Being a part of it has me wanting more. You have to read about it here.

Just what does the 'Young Gun' learn in the goose pit with a bunch of raggedy old pros? I'd say pretty much all he'll ever have to know to get though life in general . . . and then some. Read about it here.

It's been a hunting season of weird and frustrating weather. Warm temps, no snow, little precipitation and no wind has all combined to make our waterfowl hunts minimal by any measure of success. Finally, the drought has been lifted as the weather broke this past week. Read about it here.

I had a project to do for Go To Work With Parent Day. It consisted of going goose hunting with my dad (an outdoor writer) and our friend Steve Branch. I had to cover the hunt with pics, video and an article. You can read about the adventure here and go to the swobg.com video channel to watch one of the videos. Hope you enjoy it.

We all hate eating tags of any description. No amount of ketchup can make them taste as good as fall turkey in full plumage.
When hunting Whitetail, John Jones makes an executive decision
on changing the game plan to avoid tag soup. Read about the experience here.

Jack Miner's Bird Sanctuary holds bird banding activities a few times per year here in Kingsvile, ON. For those of you not familiar with the process, I've provided pictures and videos showing the activity/process. Should you ever get the opportunity to help in the waterfowl banding, I whole heartedly recommend it - you receive a better appreciation for the bird and the conservation behind waterfowl hunting. To 'view' the story, go here.

Third year bowhunter/archer Tanya Jones, gets it done in the woods of Maine, U.S.. Tanya brings in a double whitetail score proving (as if it needs to be proven) that women can match men - deer for deer - in the field and most likely top them. Great work Tanya. She supplies a short story here.

After what seems like forever to addicted goose hunters, the early season returns and 'It's About Time'
Although this article captures the third day of the season, the excitement and anticipation of the goose hunt is still with us and will be
until the last goose is hung at the end of the season.

These dreary, dog days of summer are a test of a waterfowler's commitment to his game.
It's the sludge we have to pass through to make it to the other side. Soon, these days will give way to mornings of magic when wings and calls will fill our senses. The musty smell of our labs, Coot and Guts, seem more appealing than the sweetest of perfumes any woman can wear.
These are the days of fall, filled with geese and ducks, labs and buddies, shells and powder.
Dusting off boots, cleaning guns, tying anchors, spending money on decoys meant for mortgages and flipping through catalogues - the pages wet dreams are made of.
Could there be any better time of the year to a waterfowler? I think not!
When those cool September nights come alive with anticipation of the opening day tradition . . . we'll be there, back home in the fields and marshes where the quack-heads and cluckers make memories for next year . . . making history with our kids . . . making moments that'll never be seen again . . . memories to live for.
