I was thinking about how lucky I am to have been transferred to Kansas, and to be able to go deer hunting as a resident of what I believe is one of the best states to hunt whitetails. This past season was my second in Kansas and it was a great year of deer hunting.
Even [...]

Hunting For Bigfoot In Uwharrie National Forest
North Carolina is once again ground zero for the hunt for the ever elusive Bigfoot. Animal Planet has sent a film team here to document the hunt as reports of the Bigfoot roaming these woods continue to circulate. There are many things that are rumored to roam the lands of North Carolina some I believe [...]

By Popular Demand: Fish Calling
I spent last weekend helping move some furniture, and watching the Superbowl. Of course, in between those two activities, I did manage to work in a pretty eventful quad ride in the snow, too. But the thing that was generating the most buzz, from blog readers and family alike, was my post from last week [...]

Lake George Outhouse-on-Skis Races
The New York Times covered the Lake George outhouse races this year. Teams of five (two pullers, two pushers, and a sitter) compete in drag races across the frozen lake, hauling outhouses sitting on skis. Sounds like something I could get into. I guess I’ll just keep the outhouse in my apartment during the off [...]

The “Deal”, Part II: The Only Provisions To Alter Experimental Wolf Populations

365 Marathons in 365 Days
A Belgian athlete has set a world record completing 365 marathons 365 days in a row. The 49-year-old averaged about 4 hours per marathon with his best time coming in at 2 hours and 56 minutes. He must have had other errands to run that day and wanted to get done early. He ran across [...]

More Big Wave Skiing
Proving once again that McConkey was ages ahead of his time even when goofing around (when he was towed behind a snowmobile while wearing water skis), this big wave skiing thing is starting to catch on. By ‘catch on’ I mean that at least two people have done it now. Chuck Patterson was towed into [...]

Jeff Bates Melanoma Foundation
Friend of The Goat Jeff Bates has cancer. He battled melanoma into remission several years ago, and now it’s back for another fight. Jeff is one of us, only cooler because he’s already beat cancer once. And what have the rest of us beaten? Not much, maybe some nachos and beer. MAYBE.
Some of Jeff’s friends [...]

It’s Not Just About Delisting Wolves
This is more of a reminder than anything to all those seeking to get control of the gray wolf populations in any of the states feeling the urgency to do so. There is more to this issue than simply “getting the wolf delisted”. It’s about getting control over the wolf population at the same time. [...]

Calico Buck
I don’t have much information on this photo and deer. The email I received said the deer was taken in Wisconsin and Cabela’s offered $13,000 to the hunter. Perhaps readers have more information.

Outdoors TV Review – The Crossbow Question
One of the programs I watch from time to time on the Pursuit Channel is Backland Experiences. Hosted by Scott Anderson, I generally enjoy the program because it isn’t particularly over-hyped, and the sponsors’ products don’t dominate each episode. Oh, they’re there, of course, because they have to be, but they’re mostly kept to the background [...]
