The importance of passing it on
As a young hunter, snow-goose hunting was a figment of my imagination. But an elderly man named Oris promised to take me snow-goose hunting. This man wanted to introduce someone younger to his passion. He held true to his word. Oris is a good ol’ boy full of “spiced-up” stories that make a person yearn for the past while making them eager for the future.
Make hunting alliances quickly
After shooting my share of big game, a satisfactory number of ducks and geese, and mastering the relatively simple art of pheasant hunting, I consider myself a pretty seasoned hunter. But what I’ve come to realize is that even though I’ve gone home with a bag limit on several occasions, it in no way makes me an expert, especially when it comes to waterfowl.
Problems turn into blessings
I’ve had some terrible luck as of late. It all started with a flat tire. Next my Blazer’s drive shaft decided to come apart. About a week later the new drive shaft somehow went bad again. Apparently the service center I was relying on replaces bad parts with faulty ones.
Lack of geese could ruin spring break
If you ask me, late February is the slowest time of year. While I am smack-dab in the middle of winter purgatory, I begin to burn out on fishing through a hole in the ice and it’s still too early to hunt almost anything. It leaves me reminiscing about fall hunts and desperately looking forward to the first time my boat is able to leave the dock.
SDSU students proud to be rednecks
After spending two unsatisfying years at NSU and USD I arrived here. My passion for the outdoors is now an integral part of my education. I’ve found the young sportsman’s Mecca – South Dakota State University. And for the first time I feel like I belong. My friends at USD gave me a hard time before I transferred here this semester.
