OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Common Pain
By Gary Miller My favorite time of the year starts right now! It begins on Halloween and goes for about 6 weeks. In deer hunting terms these few weeks involve the pre-rut, rut, post-rut, and secondary rut. Each of these periods offers some exciting times to be in the woods. And if one is limited in the amount of days he or she can hunt, concentrating on this window of opportunity will provide the best chances to bring home a trophy. In years past I couldn’t wait for opening d

WAYNE KNUCKLES: The World Series Was Worth Getting in Trouble For
There was a time when the World Series could interfere with your education. I consider that one of baseball’s better traditions. When I was a boy, we had a little black-and-white television that picked up three channels on a good day. They came floating over the mountains from Knoxville, Tennessee, courtesy of an antenna on the roof and whatever arrangement the Lord had worked out with the weather. If the wind was right, you got baseball. If it wasn’t, you got snow. Not the k

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Like New
By Gary Miller One thing I notice each deer season is how much more aware of my surroundings at the beginning of the season than I am in the middle or toward the end. The first few times I’m in a treestand, I am quick to notice everything about my environment. I take notice not because I’m trying to gain a hunting advantage, but because it has been months since I was last in this place. The sights, sounds, and smells are new again. And their effect on my senses is overwhelmi
