So Sunday morning I was down to the last 12 hours of the season and I was not in a good frame of mind. The day before I’d blown the buck I was after out and passed on a buck I would probably regret letting go.
I decided to hunt the waterway again, [...]

Bring on the clowns
There was a move to add, to an emergency budget bill, a provision allowing Amtrak passengers to store firearms in checked baggage, the same as airline passengers have long been able to do. It succeeded. Now there is word that…

Porcine Press – Swine Invasion Edition – Focus on Idaho
My friend John, over at the Western Wanderer blog knows I”ve been trying to keep up with the spread of hogs across the U.S. He was kind enough to send me this heads up from the Capital Press, an online agricultural news source.

Now this week conservators found two blocks of New Zealand butter leftover from Robert Falcon Scott’s doomed 1910-12 expedition. Scott and two others made the trip to the South Pole, but a Norwegian explorer beat them [...]

Fishing: Once you go Bass, you never go back?
There is a dark and powerful influence out there trying to sway me to the big lure side of fishing. I’ve nicknamed this influence ”Darth Bass” because I’m certain he’s trying to convert me to the dark and warm water side of fishing. Now, in case anyone is worried, as I write this, I’m still holding strong to the fresh water world of fly fishing…I pledge allegiance [...]

Global Warming Is Arousing
I know I’m nitpicking here but I couldn’t help myself when I came (sorry, no pun intended) across an article posted today at the Huffington Post on the failures of the “green” movement to get much accomplished about global warming.
Here’s the slightly “arousing” error the author made.

Winter X-Games Adds Two Events
It’s always entertaining to watch the Winter X Games during an Olympic year. The announcers inevitably compare the ESPN games to the Olympics and then ask the competitors which gold medal is more meaningful to win. Then the poor athlete has to let down the announcers gently with something positive but non-committal like, “I [...]

However, on this day, they weren’t alone.
On one day in early November, the Samuel Mickle School in Mickleton held a Walk for Diabetes with Jatske and McGahan leading the pace.

Wolf Hunters “Kill With Abandon, Glee”
Posted by Tom Remington on December 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

From the midst of New York City, we all become enlightened by some of the most slanted editorials about wolves and [...]
