About four years ago, with the millennium fast approaching, gun writers were asked by various magazines to write about guns of the past century, and what could be expected in the gun world in the new century rapidly approaching.[…]
The first time I saw Eddie Borne of Clinton, Miss., he was as excited about his entry into the soft-plastic manufacturing business as he was about his bassin’ outing in the marsh out of Bayou Black Marina in Gibson.[…]
It’s said that a frog will allow itself to be boiled alive if placed initially into a pot of water that’s cool. It won’t even notice the incremental change in water temperature until it’s too late.[…]
Q: I am looking for the true coordinates to the “Quida Rocks” or some name close. There was an article in Louisiana Sportsman that gave coordinates for it in the Vermilion 200-block area, but I went to it and the coordinates are for the rig in Vermilion 200 block.[…]
The vast wild region that extends some 250 miles in all directions from West Yellowstone, Mont., is home to snow-capped mountains, rolling ridges and valleys draped with towering trees and golden meadows, high desert plains with stark buttes that shoot into the sky, geysers, waterfalls and the widest variety of flora and fauna found in North America.[…]
Hitting the strike zone is what it’s all about in bass fishing, whether an angler is working cypress trees and knees in less than 3 feet of water or probing ridges or points in 10 feet of water or deeper.[…]
I celebrated a birthday last month, and judging by the number of candles my wife stuck in the cake, I must be 34. My kids think that’s ancient, but I would guess there are actually a whole lot more people in America older than me than younger.[…]

How much memory do you need for maps in a hand-held GPS unit?[…]
Television executives aren’t satisfied that they’ve turned us all into couch potatoes; now they’re trying to turn our felines into “fat cats.”[…]
If you’ve ever watched a parade, you probably noticed that as a marching band approaches, you hear the bass drums first and the highest-pitched instruments last.[…]
There’s a good chance a new artificial lure will tickle your fancy this month — if it hasn’t already.[…]
There are many things I love about spring — manicured azaleas bursting with red, purple and white blossoms, the smell of freshly cut grass carried on thick breezes, and the rhythmic “tick-tick-tick” of a topwater bait that’s interrupted by an explosion from a yet unidentified fish.[…]
Did you know that there may be a free upgrade to your present GPS receiver? No you don’t have to return the unit to the manufacturer for upgrading. If your GPS receiver has a capability to attach a PC interface cable to a computer, you or anyone who is computer literate may install the upgrade.[…]
George,
Hey, buddy! How’s everything? Long time, no see. I know it’s probably taxing to run the entire free world, but hey, a 20-minute phone call is only 99 cents. Is 20 minutes too much to ask from an old chum?[…]
Ask the conventional angler in our state if they’ve ever heard of Tony Accardo, Pete Cooper or Tom Nixon, and chances are Nixon is the one that comes up with a blank.[…]

I was wondering how to convert lat/lon coordinates. A source of information on current rig locations in the Gulf of Mexico list their locations in the following strange format as I have listed below. I would like to be able to convert into a ddd mm.mmm format that I use in my GPS unit.[…]
