New Year's Eve Toast to 2021

In the Duck Blind on 12/28/21

This post concludes the 13th year in my campaign of reporting via my Lowcountry Outdoors blog. A very limited calendar in 2020 due to Covid, began to build back in 2021 and everyone felt the same relief to have outdoor events to safely attend again. Joining together with like-minded friends and outdoor enthusiasts is the best part of each event, and I look forward to seeing if the outdoor pathway in 2022 leads to the same ole same ole, but with a splash of panache!

Hunting, Fishing, and Birdwatching are but a few of my lifetime devotions and as a result of these pursuits one becomes seasoned in matters of woodsmanship and observation. Another way to advance that same state of mind is to study nature in depth, and so in Fall of 2021 I completed the Master Naturalist Class at Spring Island, and can now speak with even more accuracy about the special sights and sounds I record in my Field Notes.

Challenges to the newspaper industry continue to affect my ability to publish newsprint stories. It has ben a very humbling two years in that department, but learning to maximize social media and maintaining this blog offer some relief. I remain thankful for magazines that carried my byline in 2021 such as Mossy Oak Gamekeepers, and will pursue additional publications in the future.
