I love birds. No matter how you look at it I love birds. I love to watch bird, photograph birds, and yes, I love to eat birds. That is why I am so excited about the beginning of the Ohio dove hunting seson which begins on Sunday, September 1st. That's when it's time to head to the field, bag a...

I don't even know what to say. I pray for those that were affected, and for all Americans, as well as for the protection of our great country, the greatest country on earth. Posted below is a tribute video of the tragic event.
