Bicycling down a gravel road at 10 miles an hour or so, you can hear and see things that you might miss in a truck. I've heard and seen a few bobwhites this spring, while biking and the weather has been helpful as far as nesting goes, so maybe we'll have a few more of these birds come fall. The...

Ian Morris of Kingston is shown with the deer he shot on the opening day of gun season. Ian had already filled his bow tags with another eight point buck and two does. He hunts with his dad Nick Morris Jr. on the home place.
