Mike Miller Tells about Doubling Down on Ducks and Geese

Ducks usually come down the river first, which means we often can get our limit of ducks before the geese start flying. Then, we take our limit of geese. We’ve usually shot numbers of shotgun shells, had a lot of fun and taken good numbers of geese and ducks for a morning hunt. Although we do most of our duck hunting in Nebraska, there's some outstanding duck and goose hunting also available in Colorado.

Food Plots and Feeders

Insufficient nutrition levels can lead to weight loss, poor conception rates, lower fawn recruitment, and increased vulnerability to disease…and where it counts too many gamekeepers - poor antler development and increased mortality rates.

Mike Miller Remembers His Favorite Goose Hunts

I hunt ducks, geese, elk, mule deer and just about any other critter you can hunt, but I believe the Canada goose is one of my favorites to hunt. There are a group of us who hunt and scout together. We have permission to hunt some private land fields, and we've also leased some fields to hunt geese. All the people I hunt geese with start looking for geese right before the season arrives. Then

Will Jimeno - One of Two 9/11 Survivors of the WTC Rubble

I learned later, after the team got me out of the hole, that about 18-other people went down in the hole and worked to get Sgt. McLoughlin free and out of the hole. I also learned from Chuck Sereika that the rescuers looked for other people under the debris for 3 weeks in areas like where they’d found Sgt. McLoughlin and me. But they never found anyone else. Sereika told me, “You two guys were

Will Jimeno Finally Hears Voices of Hope on 9/11 at the World Trade Center

About 8:00 pm on 9/11/2001, as Sgt. McLoughlin and I were trapped under concrete in the WTC, I heard someone near the hole screaming, “U.S. Marines!” Once the two marines (Jason Thomas and Dave Carns) heard me and located the hole we were in, they stood by the hole, while an unknown civilian went to the police on the scene and came back with Scott Strauss, Paddy McGee and Chuck Sereika.

Will Jimeno Determines Not to Let the Terrorists of 9/11 Win

I yelled back to my Sergeant, “Sarge, we’re going to get out of this hellhole; we’re not going to let the terrorists win!” I also realized at that moment that if I died, then there was no hope for my sergeant who was 15-feet behind me. I was the only person who could yell for help for both of us. I also knew I would have let down my family, and more importantly, I would

Will Jimeno Prepares to Die on 9/11 at the World Trade Center

My wife was 7-months pregnant, and the thought of not being able to see my second child born hurt more than any of the physical pain I had to endure. Then I closed my eyes. I was ready to give up. However, when I closed my eyes, I saw a vision.... I snapped out of that vision and knew I wasn’t going to die. If I died, it wasn’t going to be because I gave-up.

After Tower One had fallen and a portion of Tower Two, I was 30-feet under an enormous pile of debris from the WTC. I knew that Sgt. McLoughlin was alive, and my friend Dominick Pezzulo, who was 3 feet from me, and I were alive, but I didn’t know if there was anyone else who had survived.

When our team of five Port Authority officers reached the lobby of 2 WTC, Sgt. McLoughlin, who was our leader, said, “Jimeno, you stay here. We’re going downstairs and talk to Officer Jimmy Lynch.” Lynch was in charge of the station at Tower Two. While I was standing in the lobby of 1 WTC, I could hear large chunks of concrete hitting the ground outside. Then I heard another sound and knew immediately what it

Arriving at the World Trade Center on 9/11 with Mossy Oak’s Will Jimeno

Upon arriving at the WTC, the scene was much like what I thought the Battle of Armageddon would look like. We could see the hole in 1 WTC, and we saw that one corner of 2 WTC was on fire. While we were on the bus, the second terrorist plane had crashed into 2 WTC. All of a sudden, one of our senior officers, Ronny Delmar, pointed up and said in a loud voice, “Look,

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
