New Year's Toast to 2018

Fighting redfish off the jetties - Again!

It's hard to comprehend, but I am toasting the completion of 10 years of blogging on Lowcountry Outdoors, communicating about life in the field, and sharing the lessons learned along the outdoors trail. I remain very thankful for those that carry my byline like the Charleston Mercury and the Colletonian newspaper. My magazine publications cover topics ranging from hunting and fishing to conservation, and I always stay watchful for Field Notes to share. Opportunities to visit other states are fostered by tourism officials and as a Field Expert for Drake Waterfowl outreach can occur anywhere.

Always ready for an upland hunt afield

I look forward to working in 2019 towards more blog entries that educate about our sporting heritage and how being active in them helps to preserve habitat for all wildlife. It's always a compliment when my phone rings and someone has a story they want to share and I look forward to those friendly acquaintances to continue in the future. Live well in 2019, and keep one's health and reputation in mind at all times!!
