The crappie spawn is either peak or winding down in many parts of the Midwest.
A fishing buddy and I were talking about our favorite crappie fry coating. Blended Doritos, cheese crackers, and Louisiana Fish Fry were all on the list.

What’s your GO TO fried fish coating?

Get out there and cast a line, get a little too much sun ☀️, and catch a smile 😊

A fist 👊🏼 full of underwater bulldogs! These colorful dudes punch 🥊 above their weight class.

I hope some sunfish 🐟therapy is in your future!

There's nothing quite like the taste of a peanut butter sandwich on homemade bread 🍞 in a deer blind!

Local #publiclibraries create community, share resources, and define inclusion.

Recently the @hayspublib 📚 in Kansas featured some of my work for a meet and greet during the downtown art 🖼️ walk.

It was my privilege to be their guest and meet some of the library patrons 👍🏻

It’s a good day to have a good day!

December out on the #greatplainsoutdoors is hard to beat!

Little miss Kansas the Griff is figuring out the #bobwhitequail and it’s a privilege to be a part of it!

[Modern Wild Man @Modern_Wild_Man]

Little Man took his first buck this season 🦌👍🏻

He put in the time, holding out when several does offered shots.

The excitement, the heart ❤️ pounding, the shakes, and the joy all flooded in when the bullet found its mark!

This young man encountered plenty of ups and downs this deer season, but stuck it out to fill his tag 👍🏻

Blessed.
