Weathermen sometimes have a quirky streak about them, and they particularly like to play games with us Southerners when it comes to forecasting snow.

Reggie Hammons, a 76-year-old retiree from Weyerhaeuser Co. outvoted his son, Toby, who wanted him to hunt a stand where a big buck had been showing up on camera during daylight hours. Dad however, had other ideas. He was interested in hunting a different stand, one he had been hunting and only wanted to shoot a doe for the freezer.

Twenty-eight year old Tyler Jordan works with Realtree, one of the world’s best known manufacturers of camouflage, a company started by his dad, Bill Jordan more than three decades ago.

These weeks we’re living in right now are some of my favorite times of the year.
