Red Sox Pitcher Jon Lester Compares Pitching and Hunting

The routine I go through to make the perfect pitch is almost identical to the routine I go through when I’m trying to make the perfect bow shot. There are certain check points that I use to make sure that my body is lined-up, I am aiming at the catcher’s glove, and I have the perfect follow-through. I use a similar technique when I’m taking a shot with my PSE Dream Season bow.

Stalk the Stalks

Whitetails love corn and they need to find a spot where there are left undisturbed. After a farmer makes their last pass through a corn field, man usually doesn't enter the spot again until it's harvested. While the rest of the hunters are off pressuring the “deer woods,” the standing corn can become a secure home. The problem is “how do you hunt them?”

Jon Lester's Moment of Truth and the Perfect Game

When I threw that last pitch, my fast ball went up and away, and Callaspo swung and missed. The game was over, and I was glad to see it end. I was relieved. I had pitched all 9 innings and had a perfect game.

The Boston Red Sox’s Jon Lester Remembers His Most Memorable Moment in Baseball

My team, the Boston Red Sox, was playing the Colorado Rockies in 2007. I was 23-years old and only had been playing in the big leagues for a year. Our team had a great season. I was called up to pitch the fourth and final game of the World Series. Our team was up 3 games to 0. This could be the game that would determine whether or not we were the World Champions in

Tes and I adopted a motto during last summer’s ordeal—“If they stay, they gotta pay!” For now the battle against feral hogs is an ongoing effort. It is hot, dirty, hard work.

Mosquito Fern: A Small Floating Red Plant in Your Pond

Mosquito fern is not often a problem in ponds, but it can become a problem in some wind-sheltered areas. If you see a small, red, floating plant on your pond, you will know what it is. It can be controlled by contact herbicides containing Diquat or other herbicides that are absorbed from the water. Check with your biologist or a certified aquatic applicator for treatment options.

Stay in Tree Houses at Honey Brake Lodge

We haven’t talked yet about what most people enjoy at Honey Brake, and that’s our facilities. Our lodge is built well-up off the ground on stilts. Even in flood stages, the lodge never will have water in it. There’s a wooden walkway through the trees from the lodge to the cabins where our guests stay. Again, if we have flooding conditions, our guests have a dry place to sleep and eat, and the scenery from

Unbelievable Duck and Goose Hunting and Crappie Fishing at Honey Brake

As I’ve mentioned, after we finish taking waterfowl, our sportsmen can fish Catahoula Lake. The lake is famous for 1-1/2- to 2-1/2-pound crappie. Anglers may not catch a large number of them, but the size more than makes up for the lack of numbers. So, you can pull off the Honey Brake trifecta by taking a limit of ducks, a limit of geese and a limit of crappie in the same day.

Identifying Funnels

Much of choosing the proper stand site has to do with “structure.” In the same way that an angler finds the “spot on the spot,” the lay of the land and topography differences that restrict or “guide” movement are keys to stand placement. Whitetail travel from place to place using cover and terrain to their advantage. Learning to recognize the transition areas, access points, and travel corridors of whitetails is a crucial to choosing your

Big Game, Deer, How-To

It’s okay to obsess over the pursuit of deer, but make sure that a healthy portion of that obsession involves the enjoyment of spending time in the woods with family and friends and not the single-minded focus of how many inches of antler you’ll end up possessing at the end of the season. Of course, there is nothing that says you can’t enjoy family hunting time, managing a property to near-perfection, have a blast trying

Drew Keeth Says 14 Species of Ducks and More Are at Honey Brake

One of the unusual aspects of hunting ducks at Honey Brake, especially for first timers, is deciding what type of duck hunt they want. Some hunters want to take a limit of legal ducks, regardless of the species. These hunters often will fill their limits within the first 15 to 45 minutes of their hunts. Other hunters who only want to harvest certain ducks like mallards, pintails and/or canvasbacks may have to stay in the

I'd selected a stand site where the dense underbrush funneled into a 40-yard-wide strip. I was sure this was where he would walk and I
