As I've said before, how good coon tastes is in direct proportion to how hungry you are. I was extremely hungry the day I ate some. It was pretty good. You can cure the greasiness by broiling or grilling. You can kill the musky taste with enough barbecue and hot sauce. Smells pretty good when...

I don't see anything wrong with hunting like this. I've killed rabbits, a groundhog and a couple of nutria with a framing hammer. Of course, I wasn't hunting at the time. They were more "targets of opportunity". Killing rabbits with a "rabbit stick" is an ancient method and should be productive...

There was 52% against and 48% that supported the contest. That's much closer than I expected it to be. " Total Votes: 228,786" I don't see anything wrong with it. I liked this: That's like saying "If you lock up a bunch of crackheads, six months later it's like you didn't lock up any at...

I always thought the "broomhandle" Mauser looked like it would be useful, if it had been made in a useful caliber. Some of the pistols came with a wooden holster that converted to a wooden stock. I don't know of any American makers. Shear_stress is correct about the tax stamp you would need...

I finally caught the show Friday night, too. I thought it was one of his better performances. He usually comes off as a complete jerk. :D Seriously, he didn't do that bad for an overweight, out of shape, "older" guy. I thought it was entertaining, which was it's purpose and more than I can...

I'd be out at first light looking for it. I've lost a couple of deer that I know I hit. It happened years ago and it still bugs me. Sometimes dogged persistence is what it takes and I've looked for several hours before finding a deer in the past. It sounds to me like you gut shot it. From...

In NC, after you shoot the mechanical deer, not only do they take your rifle, impound your truck, and fine you, you get to pay to repair the deer. :D Our local paper reports almost every arrest in the "Crime Section". Pretty comical when some local big wig gets caught. I'd think that would...

When is the last time you saw a kid riding his bike with a bb gun across the handle bars? I took a young guy deer hunting last year that wanted to know if it was all right to take his hand held "gameboy" up in the stand with him. I agree with the MTV sentiments expressed by others. You can't...

I've never understood the logic in that. I guess some anti-hunters must enjoy hunting. PETA doesn't seem to be real popular around here. They enforce the hunter harassment laws, in my area. You are supposed to have a gamelands license to even be on WMA land and you are allowed on the land...

LOL Old Ted's something, ain't he? I just finished reading Blood Trails II. If you've watched the show, you can guess what the book was like.

Great story, Gewehr98. You do what you have to in a survival situation. A deer snared by it's back leg only is a worthy antagonist. You might be lucky it was the deer's brains that got bashed. I killed a deer last year that had been wounded by buckshot with a machete. It had ran quite a...

Our lack of natural selection in breeding is an evolutionary track. As I said, only time will tell if it's successful. Your example is 100% correct. Obviously, as more and more people of mediocre ability live to reproduce, more and more people will be born with mediocre abilities. I'm not sure...

http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/gorilla.html An interesting article by an Associate Professor Emeritus of Anthropology. He doesn't feel the diet of gorillas has much to do with a humans healthy diet. Gorillas are not absolutely vegans, either. They've been observed tearing up...

I agree that hunters can be their own worst enemies. The same can be said for the more vocal animal rights activists. While I know a few "trashy, redneck" hunters, most of the anti-hunters I've met, present company excluded, come across as flaky extremists. The Dismal Swamp bear hunt I...

The "usual suspects" tried to stop a black bear hunt in the Dismal Swamp Refuge this week. They were unsuccessful. The article is here. I think the enjoyment hunters get out of it bothers anti's more than the actual killing. The above article reminded me of the Colorado elk situation. I...

You can remove the tannic acid by boiling. White Oak acorns will need to be boiled less than red. This book has a detailed description of the process as well as some "recipes". I thought the section on edible plants was worth the price of the book.

If shooting it with a gun is illegal, how about using a bow? To get a fine for discharging a firearm, I'd think one of your neighbors would need to call and complain. I'd talk to my close neighbors and One of the guys that works for me lost a cat to a coyote last week. He bought an...

Murphy loves electronics. He's partial to scopes, too. I like to have backup iron sights on my hunting rifles. It can be an expensive addition, these days, so I normally take another rifle if I'm going out of town, or at least another sighted in scope. Redundancy seems to be the best answer...

Unless you're a carpenter, which I was in my youth, you ought to look at some prefab options. By the time you've bought the materials and built it, you've probably spent as much money as you would have buying one. One of those plastic, porta john looking blinds will last forever, be easy to move...

There are several recent threads about this. Some have fairly strong opinions. I own cats and keep them in the house. I know most of the local, domestic cats by sight and don't mess with them. Feral cats are another story. I've found baiting with fish carcasses to be effective. Feral cats...
