Making good wildlife content - blogs, social media posts, photography (both taking pictures and editing them), or videos - takes a lot of practice. If you don't practice your craft then you will lose those skills. A few years back, I...

The Killer Awoke Before Dawn

Out here in the mean streets of suburbia, something has been doing some killing. At least once a month, I'll find a hollowed out rabbit or random lagomorph limbs out in my lawn. Who is doing this mass murdering? The list of suspects...

I used to piss so much excellence. I went on adventures to see glamorous and sexy beasts, I made all kinds of great wildlife content, and I used to write prolifically. Then, it all stopped. The pandemic, grad school, being an...
