Five years ago, my friend Brady killed a buck that ran down the wrong side of the mountain after being hit with a shot that should have dropped him in his tracks. It took the two of us more than six hours to get the eight-point back to Brady's truck. After that strenuous effort, I told him I didn't think we should hunt deer there any longer. I was then 65; he, slightly younger. "We'd be risking our health if we keep hunting there," I told him. For the next few years, we hunted various other...

Spotlighting deer is a nice way to spend an early evening. You attach a spotlight's cord to the electrical socket that once held a cigarette lighter. Then you drive around rural roads and shine the light on fields or into open woods to spot deer. Usually the first thing you notice about deer is their glowing pair of eyes. When rifle deer season arrives, you are no longer allowed to spotlight deer until the season ends. For most people, that ends their spotlighting until the next autumn. Not at...

These were six big gobblers. In places I should have gotten pictures of flocks of young birds, I didn't see even a single turkey." This phenomenon is not just lo...

I am calling these awards "The Rich Tate Awards," nicknamed "The Outsiders." Recipients of...
