Welcome to Tailfeathers & Treestands, my little piece of the worldwide web. I created this blog simply as an outlet for my writing. Writing about the outdoors is something I love to do almost as much as actually being in the outdoors.
The blog will be a blend of stories…both true and not so true…gear talk, maybe some interviews and just my rambling in general. I have a vast array of hobbies including kayak fishing, fly fishing, upland bird hunting, camping, backpacking, bushcrafting, old tractors and much more but my lifelong passion has always been launching an arrow with stick and string. I’ve owned and shot a small number of both recurves, longbows and self-bows in my lifetime and enjoy shooting them all. I’ve been shooting a bow since I was a punk kid, and I still feel like that same little boy whenever I release the string, and the arrow magically happens to find the bullseye. I plan to focus my writing on things that include my love for shooting a traditional bow, but will no doubt write about different topics as well. There should be a little bit here for everyone.
On a personal level, I sum myself up like this…God, my family and the outdoors. In that order too. I’ve been enjoying God’s creation since I was old enough to hold a rod and hunting since I was big enough to pull back a longbow string. I love the tug of a fish on the end of a fly line and the flight of an arrow through the air. I love the sunrise through the trees while sitting in the October woods and I can’t imagine life without the sound of migrating geese coming into decoys or the gobble of a tom turkey on a springtime morning. I can’t think of anything about the outdoors that doesn’t cause my heart to speed up a little bit. There’s just something about being in and interacting with nature that fills my soul.
With that all being said, again, welcome to Tailfeathers & Treestands. I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
