Sure, we’re all keenly aware of how the gas prices are dramatically higher this year as compared to a year ago…but what about other essential items us sportsmen need?

Today, being a holiday, it will be a fairly abbreviated blog post, but there is one thing that happened a few weeks ago that might be of particular interest…especially to fishermen who occasionally like to do some off-shore fishing down in the Gulf of Mexico.

Have you heard the name Michele Leqve (pronounced Lek-vee)? If not, you most certainly will in the months and years to come. This woman has accomplished more in just a few short years as a hunter than most of her male counterparts will achieve during an entire lifetime. I’m not kidding, this lady has a [...]
