If no bears are bothering your feeders, you are extremely lucky. The only way I can keep them from destroying my feeders is to put a 5 gallon feeder on a cable suspended between 2 trees or tall posts. However, they still come in, eat all the corn on the ground, and keep any deer from coming in.
I killed this one with a shotgun while duck hunting in a swamp. I was straddling a submerged beaver run when he swam through my legs. He scared the snot out of me.
He weighed just short of 50 lbs.
The cleaned skull shows the orange teeth.
But releasing irradiated screw worm males that were impotent is what eliminated the screw worm from Florida in the '50s. Before that thousands of calves were lost due to screw worms annually. Until the 1950s Florida had open range ... no fences. Travelers on the roads were expected to yield to...
I just saw this and am passing it on to THR hunters.

Two men have died after eating CWD infected deer. Results inconclusive at present.
Thanks. I tried to measure it but a relatively short 7 1/2" barrel led to several readings depending on how tight the patch was.
I'm going to try to shoot a deer with it this year if my 80 y.o. eyes will work a little longer.
I've had a Patriot for about 15 years but never hunted with it. Just for kicks I loaded a 200 grain R.E.A.L. in front of 30 gr. of 3F black powder. I fired at 22 yards from a rest and the cast REAL formed a perfect hole about 3 1/2 inches high. The recoil was moderate but I will experiment with...
I have a friend who told me this story. I won't vouch for its veracity.
He was hunting on some undeveloped lots across the street from his house where he had seen deer tracks. In order that he not "spook" his neighbors he had camo clothes stashed in the bushes of the lots. He hunted with a...
By just looking at them, the1858 has more strength due to the addition of a topstrap. An enclosed “box” is much less prone to fractures.
The Colt’s wedge is problematic also.
Plus the Remington is so much more user friendly due the simple and quick cylinder swap ability.
The only thing I can say is I don’t know of any place in Wyoming that’s lower than 4500 feet.
