That map is available; it’s just a matter of bundling up and hiking through the woods.

The hunting seasons are winding down, fishing is just a dream, and turkey season is too far off to comprehend.

In a column last year, I recounted Judith’s success hunting boar in the Tennessee mountains. Well, she’s been at it again, only this time it turned out to be the hunt of a lifetime.
