The new @coveyrise issue landed in the mailbox — fun to see the old John Hancock on the page again. Birds. Dogs. Guns. Food. Gear. Conservation. Travel. The combo of the long form stories and the photography keep us in the game all year round. We hope readers enjoy this issue!

Happy Easter! Felt like a good day to start a fire in the front yard snow to make a little batch of Dutch oven venison stew.

Heard the turkeys gobbling across the river this morning. It’s my springtime alarm. I think about them when it’s minus 20 in January. Good to know they made it through. I hold these birds in high regard. #turkeyhunting #wildturkey

Got my new book today. Faces — Portraits from the Wingshooting World by Terry Allen

Another thumb drive deep dive — here’s an image I took of my buddy Paul with his springer while we chased pheasants in South Dakota circa January 10, 2021. #hunting #pheasants #birddogs #upland

Unfortunately, scrapbooks are largely a thing of the past. All we have is old SD cards and drives. This morning I found this gem of a photo I took of a drummer a couple miles from my home — time stamped 4-20-2014 — well over 10 years ago.

We got it done! The ultimate Where’s Waldo that tests you mentally and physically. Gotta love hunting — the margin of error between success and mistake is so razor thin. The story of the stalk was something — the boy pulled it off — a memory I’ll have to write down some time. . .

Listen to the classic THE RUFFED GROUSE, a chapter from the “My Friend the Partridge” by S.T. Hammond published in 1908 and narrated. Listen on your way to deer or grouse camp. It’s fun to relive these storytellers from years and years ago. mattsoberg.com.

Maybe it’s just me, but I miss old school hunting and long form stories. Check out more articles at mattsoberg.com

Named one of my setters “Tark” after old Fran.

Just finished an article after our trip out west after MEA break last weekend: "A Glimmer of Hope". Check it out on mattsoberg.com if you are bored and want a quick read. mattsoberg.com/2025/10/23/gli…
