Hunting

My email box has been pretty busy lately, so I thought I’d share a few things that are coming up or going down… First of all, I’ve been following Brian “Pig Man” Quaca on Facebook.  I enjoy his show and what he’s doing, so thought this was a good way to keep up.  I’m...

Im my daily visit to the Field and Stream Field Notes blog, they’ve posted up an article describing how Mississippi has significantly relaxed the rules for hunters to kill hogs.  As we’ve seen in so many other states, the animals’ population is booming, and they’re becoming a real nuisance.  Crop and property damage seem...

The good folks at the Institute for Wildlife Studies are presenting another lead-free ammo shooting event in Hollister next month.  The event allows participants to shoot some of the lead-free ammo options, and also includes demonstrations to show how this ammo performs.  If you’re still deciding if lead-free is right for you, it’s a...

Last week I sent in my annual dues for the Golden Ram Sportsmen’s Club.  It seems like every year catches me barely prepared for this relatively sizeable outlay, and every year I question the value of the “investment”.  So far, I’m still glad I bought in, but sometimes it’s a push.  More on this...

I don’t have a lot going on today to write about, but I did want to take a moment just to thank all of you for reading, and for your comments.  It seems, at least to me, that after a while the blogging and comments all sort of become part of the daily blur. ...

Well, as the A-zone deer season fades into memory, hog hunting in the area is picking up steam again.  I just got an email from regular reader and commenter, JR Young, about a great hunt he just had with his dad.  I’ll let JR tell it in his own words: Phillip I thought I’d...

OK, so much for the attempt at the alliterative title… sometimes it works, sometimes… not so much. Anyway, I am home, and it was hot.   The plan for this weekend was to get out with Holly and a friend she met at the Women’s Hunting Camp.  Her new friend wanted to get a taste of...

Scrounging around the Interwebz for something of interest about wild pigs, hog hunting, etc., I found this piece in The Bay Citizen. The article is about feral hogs, wild boar, and turkeys and their impacts on the local habitat.  The author did a ride-along with a trapper, and from the descriptions I’m pretty sure...

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance, I’m getting used to it now… The Talking Heads, Life During Wartime It’s pretty easy to forget, living our daily lives unencumbered by sniper fire, IEDs, martial law, or rationing of daily necessities, but we are living in wartime.  As a matter of fact, for folks...
