How to Hunt Woodcock
As a young hunter, I took a generalist approach to small game hunting. If I was lucky, I might come home with some combination of squirrels, rabbits, and maybe even a ruffed grouse. More often than grouse, though, I’d get a shot at a woodcock. At times, it seemed like there was a woodcock or two in...

The Hardest Fighting Freshwater Fish in North America
Everyone loves a good fight. From our early days on the playground when we’d gather in a circle around two fledgling combatants chanting, “Fight, fight, fight!” There’s just something about a scrap that mesmerizes us. It’s not about the violence but rather about the idea of a mono-e-mono contest...
