Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Hiking, Biking, Backpacking, Skiing, Snowshoeing, Wildlife Watching, Canoeing, Nature Photography

Theodore Roosevelt, John James Audubon, Aldo Leopold and others who, long ago, had the foresight to know that hunters and anglers would have to be the stewards of our natural resources as well as those who continue to fight for wildlife conservation and outdoor recreation through their writing in newspapers, books and magazines. But, perhaps most of all, my parents who taught me to love the outdoors by taking me hunting, fishing, camping and simply goofing off away from the pavement.






DarrenMarcy A few details to iron out, but I'm just about ready for the "A River Runs Through It" event tomorrow.

I am a freelance outdoor writer with 17 years of professional writing experience. My work has appeared in newspapers throughout the western United States as well as in magazines and online. I am currently the outdoor recreation columnist for the Rutland (Vt.) Herald. I was the outdoor editor for the Farmington (N.M.) Daily Times from 1997 to 2004, New Mexico columnist and features writer for AllOutdoors.com from 2000 to 2001.

Hello,I got this in my email today and thought it was funny, but if you dont please just kill it and have a Great Tuesday...

US troops definition of Taliban

The US troops in Afghanistan proved they have retained their sense of humor, one of them sent this.

"YOU MAY BE TALIBAN IF ..."

1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.

2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can't afford shoes.

3. You have more wives than teeth.

4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon "unclean."

5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

6. You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against..

7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.

8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least one.

10. You've always had a crush on your neighbor's goat.

I live on deadlines. I've spent a lot of years living by the deadline.



Another deadline coming up is May 1 ... turkey opener!


That's a good one! Good luck!

Darren,

Thanks for stopping by.

I see Abbey is one of your favorite writers. Although I have owned the book for decades, I just pick it up and started reading it last evening.

Thanks for the request and take care,

Darren

Hear ya, I've got 10 briefs for NSSF due Monday and my column due next Wednesday. Done quite a bit on my briefs but still quite a bit to go and just starting my column piece. Sometimes, just not enough time. And, I'm looking for more work! It's easy to manage normally and plenty of time to take on more work but this last week I didn't follow my own advice. I'll get off work early tomorrow though and so I'll have 2.5 days to finish those then a couple days to write my column, then I'll be caught up again and smart again about taking my medicine - a spoonful a day. I love hunting. I love writing. Deadlines are good, too. They're a precursor to $omething nice.

Looking forward to the comraderie.

Hi Kevin,




What part of Texas is Corsicana? I used to live in eastern N.M. in the Amarillo/Lubbock area.


I hear you on deadlines. This snuck up on me as I've had my nose stuck in a book proposal I need to finish. Now I have work due for three different publications all falling within about three weeks, some smaller assignments due the 12th, my weekly column, and this book proposal still has to get out the door in the next few days.


And I'm goofing around on CamoSpace!
