Heya, folks.  There’s one more big change for the Hog Blog in 2012… not only am I moving to Texas, I’m moving the blog to [...]

It’s 2012. For some folks, it’s the beginning of the end.  In December of this year, according to some “experts”, the Mayan calendar predicts the [...]

Nope, not missing… just busy.  With the holiday travels, finalizing Texas plans, and this silly little thing called work, blogging hasn’t been a high priority [...]

Just a thought for the evening…

A little Christmas cheer from the Hog Blog!  And yeah, I know… I’m no Vince Gill.

Thanks to Al over at SoCal Bowhunter for bringing this one to light.  Since I haven’t been hog hunting in so long I’m not sure [...]

You know, for all this politicized discussion of the lead ammo issue, I almost missed another (and entirely relevant at this time of year) aspect [...]

I’ve been a little short of stuff to write about, but thank goodness for the “innerwebz”.  There’s always something a little interesting out there, but [...]

My lead ammunition alerts have been pretty steady over the past couple of weeks, despite the fact that I haven’t really posted up any new [...]

I’ve been steaming over this incident for a day or so now, debating if was worth writing about.  Obviously, the “go ahead and write about [...]

Last month, I received a review copy of Georgia Pellegrini’s new book, Girl Hunter: Revolutionizing the Way We Eat, One Hunt at a Time.  Georgia is a [...]

Preoccupied… yeah, that’s me.  You can probably tell, based on the quality of some of my posts over the last couple of weeks.  There have [...]

If you keep at something long enough and hard enough, it will happen. There’s a fine line between persistent and stubborn, and I don’t toe [...]

I’ve attended a lot of benefit dinners.  California Waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited, Quail Unlimited, The Mule Deer Foundation, California Deer Association… it’s a great way to [...]

Every year, at about this time, hunting seasons are running full tilt across the country.  With this number of people in the field, we usually [...]

Do you know this guy? I’m guessing most of us do.  Some uf us may even meet him when we look in the mirror. He’s [...]

So, it’s almost that time of year.  With decorations showing up in many stores the day after Halloween, and the entire month of November focused [...]

The lead ammo issue is still seeing a good bit of press lately, particularly in the editorial pages.  In some cases, I’m starting to see [...]

Hey, everybody, it’s Thanksgiving Day!  I’m offering up my fondest wishes to everyone on this day, and hope you’re spending it with friends and family [...]

So, due to factors largely beyond my control (and a few that are within my control, but I didn’t control them right), there’ll be no [...]

This just in… Sorry, I couldn’t help that.  But it really is… just in my Inbox, anyway. Just got this piece from the Daily News [...]

A quick scan of my hog news this morning shows that the battle against feral hogs is still running hot.  Depending on whose statistics you [...]

The House Natural Resources Committee just passed H.R. 2834, which requires federal land planning documents to include sportsmen’s interests, such as hunting, fishing, and target [...]

Well, I’ve got to say the hunts at Coon Camp Springs this year have been a little rough.  Our first hunter, and the only one [...]

Back in early October, some of you may remember I went down to Georgia to do some night hunting for hogs with the guys from [...]

Last weekend, the CA fall turkey season slipped in with barely a warning.  Fall season is an either-sex hunt, and while there are some calling [...]

Thanks to JR Absher and his Outdoor Pressroom for the tip-off on this one. Much has been made of the threat that invasive non-natives, such [...]

Just a real short note here to offer a salute to our veterans, old and new. As a citizen of this country, I thank you [...]

(Bonus points to whoever can tell me the source of that title quote without googling.) I try pretty hard to keep my hands reasonably clean [...]

It seems like it’s been a while since I last posted about the lead ammo ban. I think the last significant post was back at [...]
