      The Doubtful Hunter

      by Bob Speirs December 31, 2010

      I seriously had my doubts. I have three children all intentionally spaced to allow them their own time in the sun. They range from 19 to 10 and according to the experts; all consider themselves “first born.” What sounded like a great plan early in our marriage, is in reality, a recipe for herculean power [...]

      by Bob Speirs December 25, 2010

      Ten Thousand Meals The kind lady at the food-pantry front desk pointed behind her. She asked if I might be able to carry the heavy boxes of venison to the cooler in the back room. The waiting room was full of the hopeful and the needy. I had taken the last parking spot. The pantry [...]

      by Bob Speirs December 17, 2010

He’d come down from the hills with the early [...]

      Mourning Has Broken

      by Bob Speirs December 10, 2010

      The flock of sharp-tailed grouse was oblivious to my attention. I normally need to have a bird in hand before I can tell the roosters from the hens, but on that snow-covered stubble field, three males were strutting their stuff.
