As uncomfortable as it can be, hunting and fishing in the cold makes me happy. Friday's duck hunt with Joe Volpe of Little Rock felt colder than it was. The humidity was high and a light east breeze ...

I recently bought my first pair of breathable lightweight waders, and now I wonder what took me so long. Hardcore duck hunters are saying, "Duh!" This wader style has been around for a long time.

Nancy Sinatra never wore chest waders. Most of a recent duck hunt included things I didn’t expect. A big part of what makes the great outdoors “great” is the unknown, the serendipity.
