Mill Creek is worth a trip
(03/08/12)
I wish I could say Mill Creek gained its national notoriety from being a "jet setter" destination. Unfortunately, Mill Creek gained national attention in May 2010 as it was the first Metro Nashville river to come out of its banks during the massive floods of 2010. Mill Creek runs through Nolensville and south Nashville, where it then empties into the Cumberland River...

Sometimes keeping it simple is best way
(03/01/12) To think that not so many years ago we used whatever shotgun we had and some #4 shells to hunt turkeys is amazing. Today we have a plethora of choices in camo, guns, shells, calls, and decoys. This week I went to Bass Pro Shops and felt lost in the myriad of equipment available to the "modern" turkey hunter...
Turkey blinds open new fields to hunters
(02/23/12) Turkey season is just around the corner. Just this morning I saw a flock of big Toms doing a little preseason posturing. They just happened to be in the middle of a very open area and most hunters would have deemed them unapproachable birds. While in the traditional sense that might be a true statement, in today's world of modern hunting that might not be true...
World-class bass fishing is within an hour's drive
(02/16/12) When most people talk about bass fishing here in Tennessee they are referring to one of the many great midstate TVA impoundments. Although Percy Priest, Normandy, or Tims Ford lakes offer some fine fishing, they do not hold a patent on good bass fishing...
Obey the lure, catch some great fish
(02/09/12) At one time years ago the Tennessee State Rainbow and Brown Trout were caught out of the Obey River near Celina. Today the Obey still fishes very well but there are better places to catch record-breaking trout. However ,there are few places you can catch the sheer numbers of trout that come out of the Obey every day...
Terrain features tell story when studying map
(01/26/12) After the colors come the actual terrain features you will find in the body of a map. There are basically eight terrain features that can be broken down into two separate groups. These two groups are major features and minor features...
More on maps
(01/19/12) A map is, simply stated, a graphic representation of the earth, drawn to scale on a plane surface. Before you can really "read" a map you must first understand the information contained both on the map itself and the information in the margins of that map. In the margins you will find the following information...
Maps, GPS units: A great team
(01/12/12)
Most deer and turkey hunters use maps for one purpose, to navigate from place to place. The truth is, a map is much more than a navigation or survival tool, it's an awesome scouting tool as well. In recent years the handheld Global Positioning Systems, or GPS, have gained in popularity with the outdoor public. ... |
