User Description: I set up three motion trail cameras last month in bear country. Each camera was in a different area. One was near a beaver pond, one was on a mountain top and one was above a ravine near a thicket of rhododendrons. The camera near the thicket was the only one with photos of cubs....

The recent news coming out of Turkey has me reminiscing about my trip there last summer. After a few days spent in Antalya visiting with the innovator behind the UTS-15 shotgun, I kicked around Istanbul for a week just experiencing an amazing city. The apartment I rented was just off Taksim Square, the center of the ongoing protests, and a lot of my favorite meals from Turkey came from the spider web of streets branching from İstiklâl Caddesi, the avenue leading to Taksim that’s been the sight of some of the worst of the clashes between protestors and police.

Before the adrenaline rush of whitetail season, there’s the taffeta swish of wedding season, ensuring nights of booze, cake, tuxes, and, if you’re lucky, at least one dancefloor sing-along to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing,” between now and early fall.

I would definitely have RSVP'd to the wedding of F&S readers and newlyweds Ashley and Jake Dates, from Red Creek, N.Y., who shared photos of their hunting-themed celebration in July 2012 and explained how a walk to check their trail cams turned into a marriage proposal to remember.

A motorcycle rider in Utah was injured Tuesday morning in a freak accident—a doe dashed into morning rush hour traffic and jumped on top of his bike.
 
The Salt Lake Tribune reports the incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. and knocked the rider off, mortally wounded the deer, and significantly damaged the motorcycle.
 
Police don’t know how fast the man was travelling, but the collision sent the 19-year-old rider on a 100-yard slide. The bike reportedly continued to slide on the road for another few hundred yards. Fortunately, protective gear prevented any serious injuries, and the rider only got some road rash, and a crazy story about how his bike was trashed.

A husband and wife enjoying a Beach Boys concert in Council Bluffs, Iowa certainly weren’t feeling any Good Vibrations after a spooked whitetail buck jumped the fence, collided with the woman, and rendered her unconscious.
 
Larry and Judy Leinen were sitting in the back row when the deer jumped over the four-foot fence and hit Judy when it landed. The impact was forceful enough to knock her out and bend her lawn chair in half. The deer simply jumped back over the fence and into the woods. Her husband says it’s just one of those weird things that took them by surprise. [ Read Full Post ]

We have one more week of Marlins, then we’ll give some other guns a chance. However, after the 336 crushed the Model 94 Winchester in last week’s voting I am eager to see what happens in today’s Gun Fight. It’s an asymmetrical matchup: the Marlin 1894c squares off against a Glock 10mm pistol. Which is the better walking gun for pigs and whitetails?
