    Today I finished my 10-day quarantine! I was pretty excited because I knew I was going to be ok and I’d go to church and do all sorts of things around the house and yard!

  • Antelope season, you are still missed

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Oct 20, 2021

    I hadn’t hunted antelope in quite a few years and I missed it. I missed stalking them on the open prairie. I missed eating them. I even missed crawling through cactus to get within range. So when the antelope tag arrived in the mail last August I was elated. I decided then to take the time off from hunting birds until I filled that tag. Unfortunately, antelope season and pheasant season open on the same day, and given a choice, I’ll always go with the birds. After four days chasing roosters, how...
