Oklahoma's "Free Fishing Days" are coming up this weekend starting Saturday, June 5th through Sunday, June 6th (06-05-21 to 06-06-21). You can fish local and area public lakes, ponds and other places throughout Oklahoma without the need for a state fishing license. It's the perfect time to introduce people, especially kids to fishing and the great outdoors. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation does this every year and it's always a fun family weekend of fishing and spending time together. So if you didn't have any plans for this weekend, you do now! Grab the tackle, poles and head to the water...

It's starting to get warmer and warmer outside and before you know it we'll be heading to the lakes for some Summer fun. We're actually seeing a Spring this year as temperatures slowly rise. Normally we go from cold to hot with no gradual change, but this year it's been nice to have those 70's and 80's before it gets really hot.

If like me you're bored to death and looking for something, anything to do I may have a solution. The family and I were sitting around trying to think of an activity we can all do together and that doesn't cost too much, even better if it's free! Well after we starting listing "things to do" hiking came up and everyone agreed we'd hit the trails. It's the perfect weekend activity and will get us all outdoors and moving!

Applications are now available for the City of Lawton's 2020 elk hunt. If you are interested you will need to submit an application and have a valid Oklahoma hunting license. You can apply and submit your application anytime from now until the deadline which is 5:00pm CST on Friday, September 4th 2020 (09-04-20). The drawing for the hunts will be held on Wednesday, September 16th 2020 (09-16-20).

There are a few things that every ice fisher needs and then there are items that aren't a necessity but would definitely come in handy. Check out some fun ice fishing gear to keep you nice and toasty and help you find your next catch.

These hikers had a really close call with death when the suspension bridge they were crossing collapsed. The entire incident was captured on video, looks like it flipped upside down and dumped them into the creek or river below. The bridge is located at the Great Walk Lake in  Waikaremoana, New Zealand.

There's nothing like a good campfire! With Fall finally here now's the perfect time to spend a little equality time in the great outdoors and do a little camping. Sure you can camp anytime but the cooler it is outdoors the better in my opinion. After all campfires are best when it's cold. But what if you didn't want anyone to see your fire, or if it's windy? Well why not build a stealth fire? Read

Nothing adds character to your garden—at least in a caveman-like, primordial sense—than an outdoor fire pit.

This is what happens when we Google the name of this website in Google News. We find out we are hosting a coon hunt this week.
