A Wish Granted: 3 Days at Patagonia’s Tipiliuke Lodge

A Wish Granted: 3 Days at Patagonia’s Tipiliuke Lodge

In a three-day span I’d stalked a red stag, fished for browns and rainbows, then ended up with an exciting hunt for boar. I enjoyed them all at Tipiliuke. Sam Nede arrived at the beach well before daylight. Here on Captiva Island the shell hunters would soon be out in...

At Cheyenne Ridge Signature Lodge, it’s the “other season” you don’t want to miss. Hedy Lamarr was one of the most glamorous film stars of Hollywood’s “Golden Age.” Viennese by birth, she was invariably cast as a seductress of exotic origins and gained fame as filmdom...
North Platte Outpost

North Platte Outpost

Some years back, I met a fellow sportsman whose duck camp also served as his family’s home, a sweet, to say the least, deal made possible by a good-natured and tolerant wife who, nonetheless, well understood that this convenient combination gave her considerable...

In the gun trade, the highly skilled hands of a veteran craftsman have historically reflected the epitome of precision fit and finish along with the unmatched adornment of the engraver’s art. I have marveled, for example, at a fitter who, with no more than chisel and...
A Walk on the Wild Side

A Walk on the Wild Side

By two weeks into the season, I’m convinced that every pheasant in South Dakota has handily passed a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) program worthy of any of our elite special operations units. These birds are sneaky smart by nature and, with their...
A Purple Heart Hunt

A Purple Heart Hunt

At first glance, it was a scene no different than one that is repeated many times each year throughout the Midwest: Six or so hunters in line working their way through the corn or milo while other hunters block at the end of the field. The shout of “rooster!” is heard...
