Alabama Record Gator From 2009
By Chad Love
Alabama has a new state record alligator after a Mobile man and five of his buddies snagged a monstrous, 700 lb. gator on the first night of the season.
From this story on al.com:
There is a new, undisputed Alabama state record alligator. Matt Thornton of Mobile, along with five of his hunting partners, killed a 13-foot, 5-inch behemoth that tipped the scales at a whopping 701 pounds on the first night of the fourth gator season on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. I didn't really scout before the season, but I fished the area a lot and saw a big gator in that area," Thornton said of the stretch of Tensaw River a quarter-mile south of Lower Bryant's Landing where they caught the alligator."We didn't really know he was that big until we actually hooked him." Before Thornton's animal stretched the tape and scales to such impressive proportions, two animals killed in 2007 unofficially shared the title of the state's top gator.

Survival
By Keith McCafferty
A lightning bolt is like a snakebite. Either can occur without warning, but most often the strike, whether it carries 100 million volts of electricity or a few drops of paralyzing venom, is preceded by ample signs of danger. By noting these and taking prompt action, hunters and fishermen can avoid becoming victim to a weather hazard that claims upwards of 100 fatalities each year in the United States.
BOLT COMING
Most lightning strikes occur at the beginning and end of afternoon storms. This is when positive and negative charges, which collide to produce the flash between clouds and the ground, build up the most electricity. Thunder (see sidebar), the sound waves produced by the explosive heating of air in the lightning channel, is the obvious omen we need to heed, but there are many other warning signs. Darkening skies, the buildup of anvil-shaped cumulonimbus clouds, and a sudden drop in temperature and increase in wind often presage the storms that are most likely to produce lightning. Immediately preceding a bolt, low levels of electricity fill the air, causing phenomena such as the hair on your body standing on end, a tingling sensation on the skin, or a metallic taste in...

Defend Yourself Against Large Predators By Making A Spear From Your Knife
By Paul Scheiter
When I craft a spear there is a part of me that can’t help but feel connected to the “inner caveman” that lurks somewhere deep in each of us. Knowing that this ancient weapon has kept humans alive on the earth for thousands of years gives me a unique respect for its place in our history. But the spear isn't just a relic of the past. I believe it remains an important tool for the modern woodsman, but probably not for the reasons many would think. [ Read Full Post ]

By E. Donnall Thomas Jr.
I'm racing down a ridge against the advancing dawn, trying to reach a position directly uphill from the gobbling bird. When I get there I quickly arrange three silhouette decoys in a clearing, just in front of a copse of pines the size of Christmas trees. Before I can worry about setting up a proper blind, the tom begins to gobble repeatedly, and as the sound of hens rises below, I realize that I'll have to make do with natural cover.
From the shelter of the pines, I offer a few soft yelps of my own, each answered immediately by a gobble, and then the bird appears. Any notion that I'm hunting small game doesn't survive the gobbler's first break into full strut. Fantailed and puffed out, head glowing red, white, and blue like a neon sign, the tom is as formidable as any animal I've ever faced.
And since he's only 20 yards away, he'd already be dead if I were hunting with a shotgun. My longbow, however, demands another order of patience. For two agonizing minutes, the tom struts without offering a shot. But finally that luminous head disappears behind a mature pine's trunk, and when it reemerges, I'm locked at... [ Read Full Post ]
