A SHORT SEASON

The second annual Coues N Brews is set for March or April. This year the films move outside to a big screen in the alley, and we’re opening a call for your Coues hunting films.

Wild game tastes different when it’s shared. A short essay on duck, vodka, elk, and the people who make a meal a meal.

Hunting is how we get our protein. It’s also how we’re wired to experience joy, and the guy who proved it died alone in a bus.
