Prisoners Fixing Bikes for Kids in Africa
English prisoners are learning a valuable trade while helping kids in Africa. Instead of stamping out license plates or sorting trash from recycling, they’re fixing bikes and sending them off to Africa. Once in Africa, kids use them to pedal to school or be able to run home on their lunch hours.

When The Season Ends, It’s Bed Time
by Dave Hurteau
In my Christmas post, I forgot to mention something else I got for the holiday (a little belatedly): 6 inches of fresh snow. Besides the Hunter Dan Hanson Buck, it was just the thing I wanted—because when the last deer season ends (which ours did about 10 days ago), there’s nothing like a new blanket of snow to jumpstart your scouting for next fall.

“How’s that hopey-changey thing workin’ out for ya?”—King Louis XVI of France (2)
“His writing is devoid of fantasy.”—Ragnar of Ragweed Forge (3)
Where the hell was I? Oh yes: Do you need the Leupold CDS?
The answer is, it depends on how you hunt. If you never shoot past 300 yards and you’re getting 2,700 fps or better, no. If you do take the occasional long shot, the CDS will make all the difference. A case in point:

Black Boxes, Nimrods, Counting Deer And Deer Management
Most Maine hunters and trappers, and yes, probably a boat load of fishermen, are collectively crossing their fingers in hopes that Maine’s new governor, Paul LePage, will appoint a person to head up the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife who will meet their expectations.

Wildlife Mystery: 1,000 Birds Fall From Sky in Arkansas
Officials in Arkansas are trying to figure out what could have simultaneously killed 1,000 blackbirds over a 1-mile area around the town of Beebe.

Porcine Press – Michigan One Step Closer To Banning Wild/Feral Hogs

Americans enjoy a [...]
