Sail With Norwegian

December 2, 2022 by Jim Brewer

  We are not world travelers. In fact, I consider Nags Head to be an exotic vacation destination, but Nancy and I have taken a few cruises, the last three with Norwegian. We have been most satisfied. In reality, Norwegian Cruise Lines has nothing to do with Norway. It’s an American cruise line headquartered in Miami. It’s the third-largest cruise line in the world in terms of … [Read more...]

Deer, Bear and Turkey Kill Down in Virginia

Wildlife biologists with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) have compiled preliminary figures for the 2021-22 hunting season.  Bear, deer and fall turkey harvests all decreased from the previous season.  According to Dr. Gray Anderson, Wildlife Division Chief, “These decreases could be related to weather and food conditions during the fall. The weather was unusually warm and dry … [Read more...]

Nice Buck

Nice Buck

  Looks like there are lots of healthy deer out there, but there is now one less. This big buck was taken in Louisa County by Ethan Hall with a bow. The ten-pointer with a 24-inch spread was harvested in the Holy Grove area. A really nice deer. … [Read more...]

Tree Strand Safety

October 28, 2021 by Jim Brewer

Tree Strand Safety

  Hunting is a very safe sport if you’re on the ground. More people die from stepping on hornets’ nests and getting stung than they do getting shot from another hunter – on the ground. Up in the air is a different story. People fall out of trees from 12 to 16 feet high and the results are never good. Many are crippled for life and a number of people die from falling out of tree stands. You … [Read more...]

Louisa County Turkeys

Louisa County Turkeys

    By Sherman Shifflett   Opening day of any hunting season is always exciting, and the 2021 spring turkey hunting season was no different. Lloyd Runnett and his son, Robert, both bagged big birds on Saturday, April 10, 2021. I have known the Runnett's since I arrived in Louisa in 1968, and they have always treated me like part of the family. I deer hunt with them, but … [Read more...]

A Stable Deer Harvest

March 11, 2021 by Jim Brewer

I remember back in 1987 when the deer harvest first exceeded 100,000 animals. I thought at the time that the Game Department had lost their collective minds. Their regulations were far too liberal. Too many deer killed would decimate populations. Boy was I wrong about that. The very next year, the deer kill jumped to about 120,000. In 1990, that figure increased to over 160,000 and in 1992,  the … [Read more...]

Two Left Feet

January 14, 2021 by Jim Brewer

Two Left Feet

The last time my son Jimmie was in town, he helped us clean up our downstairs storage room and removed a lot of clutter. He saw a pair of his old fishing waders in the storage room, hip boots, so he took them back to Atlanta. Last week, my grandson James talked Jimmie into an early morning duck hunt in a swamp somewhere in Fulton County. Jimmie remembered his waders, and tossed them in the truck. … [Read more...]

No More Checking In Deer

December 22, 2020 by Jim Brewer

No More Checking In Deer

The good old days of checking in a deer or a bear at a Game Checking Station are over. From now on, Virginia will go exclusively to electronic checking, and that’s a shame. Says the Wildlife Division: “Since 2004, DWR has offered some form of electronic harvest reporting, and beginning in 2019, electronic harvest reporting options were available for all game species for which reporting is … [Read more...]
