Benoit Brothers Trophy Buck Tracking School 2006
Back in 2006 me and photographer Milt Inman journeyed to Allagash Maine to film and cover the Benoit Brothers who were putting on a deer tracking school. The following is a short collection of some of the original video I shot during the weekend event. There’s a lot of story telling and some target shooting [...]

Denver Ski Train Might Not Run This Winter
The Ski Train is what’s right with America. People hopping onto mass transit and scooting up the mountainside where they’ll pile out of the resort. It keeps down crowds in the parking lot, means less traffic on mountain roads, saves the planet a bit, and you can knock back a few drinks on the [...]

Merry Christmas from Whitetail 365!
I have no idea how the buck in this picture got a package tangled in his rack. Either Santa is getting sloppy, or the photo-shop guys are getting better and better!

Have Yourself A Merry Christmas
Look what I dug up out of the mothballs! I found the original video of the Christmas song, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, and adorned it with a new “Open Air” intro. Couldn’t do much about the performance itself though. And that guy singing. Man he was quite a bit thinner than he is [...]

It Will Do for Skiing What Cliffhanger Did for Climbing (Nothing)
I thought this was a parody for the first 30 seconds or so. “It will do for skiing what ‘Jaws’ did for swimming,” nails it. I think one of the male actors was in that epically terrible movie, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. I didn’t see that movie, the trailer was enough. [...]

Lost Hikers Thinking Too Much
A story of a lost hiker is nothing new in the NPS Morning Report. What’s interesting about this one in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area is that the lost hikers were in cell phone contact with rangers, and they didn’t bother following the searchers’ instructions.
Personnel searched for approximately six hours without [...]

Bourjaily: One Expensive Pair of Christmas Tights
Last year, because I had been especially good, I gave myself a Benelli Montefeltro for Christmas. This year, my German shorthair Jed launched a pre-emptive strike on my Christmas budget, giving me a…

2009 New Hampshire Deer and Bear Hunting Season Results
CONCORD, N.H. — Based on preliminary deer registration tallies, N.H. hunters harvested 10,390 deer during the 2009 season. This preliminary statewide total kill was down about 5% from the actual 2008 deer kill of 10,916, but is comparable to season results prior to 2006.
Based on these 2009 preliminary registration figures by county (which indicate where [...]

Climategate “Hacker” Probably Whistleblower
Photo from fOTOGLIF
Dr. Tim Ball, renowned environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, writes in the Canada Free Press that more than likely the person who released the emails and documents that have all become part of Climategate, was a whistle blower and not a hacker. And as such this would [...]

Bird Dogs: The Snow is Deep
A few days ago mother nature dumped a heck of a lot of snow here. I figure it was about 2 feet or just high enough to chill a GSP’s belly. Cooper is like a kid and loves the snow….

Bill Ayers Joins The NRA?

Are you out of your freaking mind?!? When I saw the headline, that’s pretty much what I said but hang on. This is actually a better story than that.
Mike Adams has an article by that title in Townhall today. By the same fashion as when Adams once wrote a very anti-pornography article and [...]

Bible Study Verse
Romans 14:12
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (NIV)
Thoughts
Unfortunately, I recently had to deal with some unsportsmanlike outdoorsmen. My son and sister were headed out for a morning turkey hunt and some quality bonding time. But, when they arrived at their blind, they found that someone had [...]

Big Long Island 13 Pointer

Annadel Half Training Log Week 5
This week I moved my long run up to Saturday Night. One of our coaches was marking the tail for the morning run so I made plans to run while he marked the trail on his mountain bike.
I left the trailhead before him and I was surprised that it took him four miles to catch me. But [...]

Vacation: A Picture to Sum it Up.
I figured this picture sums up what I’ve been doing with my vacation time. Abby and I are having a great time – napping together, hanging out, staying in our pajamas all morning, and reading books.
My wife took this shot last night after she got home from work. Abby and I were just chilling on [...]
