Last weekend—seated comfortably in an Alabama box blind overlooking a food plot on a sunny, pleasant afternoon—I couldn’t resist text-messaging a buddy back in the Midwest.
“How is the weather back in paradise?” I queried, feigning innocence.
“Stupidly cold. How ‘bout you?” was Ted’s too-good-to-pass response.
The state Natural Resources Board voted unanimously Wednesday to ask the Wisconsin Legislature to approve a statewide ban on baiting and feeding of deer.
Ok, is Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the home of a nuclear site I don’t know about? Several weeks back I posted photos of (and a video link to) a giant whitetail sent to me by Sioux Falls resident Bill Corbet. That monster buck had been filmed in velvet and photographed in hard antler living happily in a no-hunting zone within the city limits.
At the last meeting of the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners, the momentum seemed firmly behind a proposal to make crossbows legal during archery deer and bear seasons.
Since then, however, much has changed on the board, where roster changes could impact next week's final vote on the controversial issue.
The late archery season has been over for nearly a month here in Minnesota, and already I miss it. I joke about my passion for this lonely time to my hunting buddies, telling them "all the good hunters are done by November. December is for guys like me." But truthfully, I’d hunt then even if I’d already tagged a nice buck.
I have followed with interest fellow blogger Chad Love’s post about the SHOT show’s employment of booth babes. I have been to a couple of SHOT shows and, of course, could not help but notice these, um…spokesmodels. In fact, my inaugural SHOT visit was my first trade show of any kind, and I was so naive I actually thought these women knew something about the products they represented! Once I realized the absurdity of this notion, I was embarrassed for both me and them!
Investigators also say they've found snowmobile parts near the scene. They're hoping those parts yield fingerprints or identifying information on at least one of the sleds.
