This time of the year we all seem to do a little better job of slowing down and remembering all that we have to be thankful for… we should strive to do that all year, not just over the holidays. Family, friends, health, mother nature and all she provides, the hunters and anglers we get […]
This is the time of year the Fistful boat gets a little rest while Karl spends most of his time on the water pursuing a different variety of North Carolina’s wildlife. Duck Season is here and is proving to be a bountiful one so far. The migration to the south is up and running and […]
