From the Author
"The Lord knows I don't know much!" is the trademark saying of Dub "Lordnose" Nelson, one of my characters, but it also applies to me. Like another of my cast, Abner von Vanderburen, outdoor writer for the Kickapoo County Smoke Signal, I often feel best qualified to tell folks how NOT to go hunting and fishing. Many of these tall tales are based on the misadventures of people I've known over the years, but a few of these boondoggles also happened to me. While a good laugh may not help you bag that buck, land that lunker, find that trail or stay out of the poison ivy, it sure beats crying about your tough luck.
