The Sporting Life

Although plenty of folks devote entire weekends to hunting morels and ramps in the spring, autumn’s culinary cornucopia remains largely untapped.

Blendon Pines Gun Club features several clay target games including five stand, wobble trap and sporting clays, with plans to open a new outdoor pistol range.

I was invited to stay at a friend’s camp near the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula. I drove there on a day that began bright and promising, but by L’Anse the sky had clouded over and a light drizzle was falling. By the time I reached the camp the rain was a steady downpour. It didn’t stop for two days.

Some people learn to love nature through pursuits such as camping or canoeing; others, though hiking or mountain biking. For me, life outdoors has always revolved around dogs.
