You could see in those food plots, there were pheasant tracks everywhere. The birds heard us coming and were out the other end.

I told the girls that we have got to treat each of the next seven games as our district.

This is the NFL. Things like this happen, ... You can't cry in your milk.

You don't see a team behind shooting three air balls and coming back to win, so we got a little bit rattled. But I never thought that we were melting down.

The brome grass is going to provide OK cover early in the season. You could see, though, that all the snow had knocked it down. We hunted some weedy food plots that stood up well.

Prices used to fluctuate pennies from year to year. Now, I have to knock on doors and try to figure out how much people will be able to pay. This is going to be very hard on ordinary folks.
