    Gordon’s bow (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Through a series of online trades, I ended up with an older-model Golden Eagle compound bow. Since I already had several bows, I quickly relisted it and tried to swap it for something else. After entertaining multiple offers, I settled on a meat slicer. Now my sandwiches and vegetables are all just so.While searching for sandwich nirvana, I forgot to take down my listing for the bow. I received a message from a man named Gordon who recalled owning a similar bow around the time I was born. When h

    Rangers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    “Dude, that is the biggest rabbit I've ever seen”, I said into my microphone. It was sunset, and I was looking above my laptop while I was playing D&D. My friends chuckled as I described what was either the biggest cottontail I'd ever seen or possibly an escaped French Lop. Ok, yeah, I relent; this is probably why I'm playing a ranger. (he's a multiclass ranger warlock, but still) “Cam”, Mike said, “you ARE a ranger. That's why every character you play is basically some version of a ranger, rega

    Deer: it’s what’s for dinnerAs we drift into the last weeks of summer, deer season is right around the corner for us folks in North Carolina. In my part of the state, archery season kicks off September 13th. As I look at the dwindling packages of meat from my processor, I realize it’s the perfect time to reflect on what last season’s harvest gave me.Venison is what I’ve always called deer meat. It’s French and carries the same air of sophistication as filet mignon. Now, in my neck of the woods,

    On August 29th, I’ll be 37. While there’s nothing particularly significant about this date, I’m using it as a time to talk about cool stuff I kinda want. I try to limit the material goods I fawn over, and I feel like this list is more aspirational and hobby-affirming than keeping up with the Joneses. This is basically a continuation of the “Obscure Object of Desire” series; as such this will be a rather link-heavy article. I have not been asked to showcase these products; I just want to share th

    Skunked with Spamps (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Harry Spampinato is a buddy and fellow outdoor writer; his work stretches from gear reviews in magazines such as “Heavy” to travel articles, most recently in Flylords. He’s also been dating my sister-in-law. So, to not give him any extra ego, he’s saved in my phone as “Spamps”. As I mentioned before, Harry is a fly angler first and foremost. In the summer, he, like so many Cape Codders, works multiple jobs, including landscaping, kayak tours, and working as a bouncer at one of the local clubs, s
