It's Fun to Fool a Big Spooky Gator Trout

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:53:00 -0500

Nothing like a good snow year to ignite enthusiasm for escapes to locations where engine heaters are unknown and four-wheel-drive is unnecessary for driveway access.

Such thinking recently forced Bruun to tap frequent flier mileage for a brief visit to Florida’s Indian River. As usual, even before I boarded the jet, abusive remarks from Sunshine Staters began flying: “When is the ‘Typhoid Mary’ of bad weather arriving?” and “Bruun must be coming: The Weather Channel is predicting a cold front with accompanying rain and tornado warnings.”

Outdoorsman Exchange - Trading Chases

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:21:04 -0500

The idea for Outdoorsman Exchange came about in an instant, but in a way it was sometime in the making – we just didn’t realize it at the time.

For years my husband, Paul, has wanted to go on an elk hunt. I’ve encouraged him many times. He and his brothers talk how they should all go elk hunting out west with their Dad before age took its toll on him. Pursuit of that dream sounded good but there was always the financial reality check that held my husband back. He couldn’t justify spending money on a guided hunting trip and felt a guided trip was the only way to go for a successful hunt. This voice inside kept telling him - we need to save money for more sensible things like kids braces, college funds, etc. Most everyone can relate to these thoughts, unless you’re an heir to a fortune.
