New Year's Eve Toast to 2025

Lifelong Saltwater Angler at Work on Dec. 25

This is my 17th Annual Toast to following the outdoors trail and bringing my stories and photos to like-minded folks. The season cycle continues annually, but the whiplash weather cycles can make those seasons harder to identify so with all things in life we must adjust. This makes most serious outdoors people amateur weather watchers also. Besides, being out in the extreme cold or in some other inclement weather can also add flavor to your tale of outdoor adventure. 

I remain grateful to the publications and organizations that chose to work with this veteran writer and photographer in 2025. Hunting and Fishing subject matter is always fun, but Conservation stories may prove to be the most valuable as we fight to protect and save unspoiled outdoors places. Cheers to South Carolina Wildlife magazine and the SCDNR, Mossy Oak Gamekeepers magazine, Tideline (online) with the Post and Courier and Scuttlebutt SE boating magazine.
