Fool's Errand

Fool's Errand

tombeckbe.com — This June may well have been God's finest to date. The air was as sweet and crisp as a ripe red apple. Every dew-dropped blade of grass reflected the electric sunrise. There was just enough breeze to carry the scent of honeysuckle from the back fence to my rocking chair on the back porch.

The Best of the Worst of Us | Field Ethos

fieldethos.com — By Kyle Wright I discovered the writings of Peter Hathaway Capstick when I was a young man, back when African adventures still seemed plausible, long before I accepted the responsibilities of adulthood and shouldered the burdens of mortgages and tuition. By the time I'd finished the first chapter of his first book, Death in the Long [...]

Tougher Than a Honda Hatchback | Field Ethos

fieldethos.com — by Kyle Wright I hit him right where I wanted to, which doesn't always happen. My shot crossed the winter wheat field between us in the blink of an eye and took the buck just behind the shoulder. He sprinted 50 yards as if there wasn't a 130-grain bullet mushrooming its way through his lungs.

When They Just Won't Shut Up - Sporting Classics Daily

When They Just Won't Shut Up - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — "Eastern turkeys are like men and Rios are like women." When I asked my friend who lives in the southeastern part of Oklahoma what he meant by that, he said, "Easterns won't talk and Rios never shut up." I've heard it several times since: Rio Grande turkeys are easy to kill and Eastern turkeys just don't gobble.

What's in a Memory? - Sporting Classics Daily

What's in a Memory? - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — Like many hunters, I depend on the successes of spring to get me through summer. The memory of a dewy April morning often eases the misery of a scorching August afternoon. I killed a turkey this year, but it wasn't much of a hunt and therefore isn't much of a memory.

There's a Snake in My Blind - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — Anticipation for hunting season always has me sweating through at least a couple of early archery hunts, but I feel much more comfortable with a rifle in my hands, so it was with high hopes that I made my way to the woods on opening afternoon of Oklahoma's black-powder season last year.

Ode to the Check-In Station - Sporting Classics Daily

Ode to the Check-In Station - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — Hunting, for me, is about spending a good time alone, about reorienting myself to the world around me. But it's also about communing with those we meet in the wider world, about conversations and connections with our fellow man.

A Little Daisy Can Pack Powerful Memories - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — When the sweet little lady behind the counter handed me the medallion, it all came rushing back to me. Inscribed on its face, just below three engraved rifles, was the phrase, "My first gun was a Daisy." Those words triggered a memory so pure and sweet I was shocked it'd ever been buried.

Taking Aim - Sporting Classics Daily

Taking Aim - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — Every other article I read these days first prophesies the death of hunting and then offers easy to follow instructions on how to interest your child - or someone else's - in the outdoors. Until recently, I've paid little attention to these articles.

Mournful Echoes - Sporting Classics Daily

Mournful Echoes - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — A trip to a private parcel, though, turned up a pair of birds. Unfortunately, they were strung up by their necks and hanging on either side of a tree branch, connected by a leather thong that might've been a bootlace.

The Magic Hour - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — The sun is setting on a brilliant hunting career. Though his big game hunting bag isn't particularly mixed, it is well stocked. A couple of pronghorn antelope, one empty elk tag. Maybe a hundred deer across a forty-year career, many of which were bagged when whitetails were much harder to come by than they are...

Long Live the King - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — For seven summers, the king enjoyed the adoration of his subjects, the ladies of his court literally fawning before him. His graying cape was stretched stately across his regal shoulders, and the crown atop his head was adorned with sixteen ivory tipped points.

The Wind Blows - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — It was at my family's annual campout during Oklahoma's black powder season one year that I developed my disdain for the cold. The air mattress I'd been sharing with my oldest brother sprung a leak in the night and when we woke up he was practically on top of me.

That Dog'll Hunt: Best Bird Dog Names - Sporting Classics Daily

Sporting Classics Daily — Naming a dog is serious business. Naming a bird dog, more serious still. There are so many subtleties to consider when christening a canine that a man often needs help doing it. An anonymous pup is usually good for a solid week's worth of argument at the local coffee shop.
