On Sunday we left our North Carolina home in the heat of summer, and on Monday morning we arrived in Santiago in the cold of winter. The southern hemisphere seasons are opposite of the seasons to which we’re accustomed in the north. On a July day, when summer temperatures topped 100F in North Carolina, we […]
Every Day Chile – Jane’s Stories
Our 10 year old daughter, Jane, is going to make an attempt to record her daily observations while exploring Chile. She’s posting daily stories on Instagram under the profile @every_day_chile. Follow her profile below. We’re encouraging her to keep it up, and her little brother will certainly be dropping in for cameos. View this profile […]
Arrival in Santiago de Chile
Most of our past adventures have been within the United States, thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, cycling across America, and RV’ing to National Parks for a year. Our departure for Chile is the first international adventure for our family. We’ve learned many lessons and faced many challenges through the planning and execution, and we’ll share those […]
Offseason Camping at North State
Though nothing worthwhile to hunt is within season, taking the kids to North State is part of the effort to get them comfortable with going hunting during the colder months of deer season. We took friends, four wheelers, and dirt bikes to the camp this spring for some fun in camp, in the pond, and […]
Organized Dog Hunt for Deer at North State
The oldest organized deer hunt in North Carolina is the dog hunt at North State Game Club. Since 1906, the tradition has been carried on in eastern North Carolina. I’m privileged to be a part of this organization and hunt. I took Jane and Wilson on their first hunt at the annual boys and girls […]
Fall Red Drum Surf Fishing at Topsail Island
One of my favorite fishing activities is surf fishing for red drum in the fall at Topsail Island. The air cools down, the water is still warm, the bait are thick in the surf, and the drum schools come into inches of water to feed. I regard surf fishing for drum as a North Carolina […]
Fly Fishing Yellowstone
My first fly fishing trip out west. Went to Gardiner, MT with some experienced fisherman, and we spent several days hiking to parts of Yellowstone National Park to fish. Two days we went with guides, once on wade trip and once on a float trip, and then three days we self-guided. The more experienced fisherman […]
Trolling for Spanish & Blues with Kids
My first exposure to trolling as a kid was pulled Clark spoons on #1 planers for Spanish and Blues outside Beaufort Inlet, NC. Even as an adult, I enjoy the consistency and action of trolling for Spanish and Blues. They are easy to catch and can come in great numbers. A more important characteristic though, […]
Learning to Fly Fish – Foscoe, NC
I’ve grown up fishing in saltwater all of my life. My preferred fishing styles, in order, are the following: When I was invited to head out west for a fly fishing trip in Yellowstone, I was hesitant because I didn’t know how to fly fish, and it seemed to squarely fit into my least favorite […]
False Albacore Fishing at Cape Lookout
World class false albacore fishing occurs each fall at Cape Lookout. Albacore schools arrive near the shore, and when in a feeding frenzy, they demonstrate the ferocity of the albacore blitz. They are sporty game fish, powerful little tunas that rip line off the reel and will put on a long, powerful fight. A friend […]
