Read excerpt
This week, I interviewed Joe Lanier. Joe is a nearby farmer and rancher who I interviewed for a Washington Post piece I wrote about the drought . For Awe, Nice! Joe shared two great stories recounted from time spent hunting in the fall. Hard to believe hunting season starts up in just over a month. For bow hunters, the first week of September. That's during the elk rut. Joe's found that the best hunting at this time of year is during the early morning, when elk start moving back to where they wo
