Indoors for an outdoorsman

Body
Unless you are reading my column this week online from somewhere in the middle of the Sahara Desert, chances are pretty good that Ole’ Luke doesn’t need to tell you it’s been wet, plenty wet! I’ve tried very hard to get ‘out there’ several times this past week, between rainstorms. I watched the weather radar closely and when I saw a break between storms, I loaded my CVA Muzzleloader in the truck and headed to a nearby hotspot for wild hogs.
With all the rain this past week, Luke was forced to stick pretty close to home. He did manage to do a little outdoor cooking out by his little cabin. Courtesy photo
