Thanksgiving Leftovers
My Dad was a child of the Depression. As such, nothing went to waste in our house, especially food and especially at Thanksgiving. My earliest memories of Thanksgiving at our modest two-bedroom home in Beckley, West Virginia were of a huge roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy (Daddy made amazing gravy), succotash, collards, cranberry sauce, home made yeast rolls and pumpkin pie … [Read more...]

More Nags Head Stripers

The thinking goes that if more anglers knew about the inshore bite, fewer would take the bluewater trips offshore. Regardless, CvilleBuzz is happy to report the good news and to urge anglers interested in catching a quick limit of stripers to head for the sounds … [Read more...]
Columns To Remember
I have been writing outdoor columns for over 30 years. I thought it would be fun to go back in the archives and print a few of the oldies. Below is the first in this series. Go Easy on the Scent Wafers It was my annual bow hunt in Bath County, an opportunity to fell a deer with a deadly shot to the heart. Trouble is, for the past couple seasons, my arrows have remained … [Read more...]
