Your post made my morning..............!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a kind of long story that explains why Louann is in the water.......mostly revolving around a old back, a block & tackle, a locked hatch, and a forgotten key. And yes, there was a spare key in the...

Someone suggested the "Federalist Papers".....well worth reading. As a companion to them I'd highly suggest the "Anti-Federalist Papers". No, that is not a joke. The Anti-Federalist Papers are exactly what they sound like they are. They are a compilation of articles published in...

This is a article from the Univ. of Florida Forest Stewardship Newsletter. http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/Extension/FFSnl/ffsnl182.pdf I know we talk coyotes on here a lot but I don't know if we in the Southeast understand how IMPORTANT it may actually be for us to work on them. Could be that...

This is one she shot this spring......at about 15 yards......after stalking it on the ground for a ways. Over the last dozen years that little .243 Win has put 20 or so on the ground, all but one shot while slipping through the swamps or in the palmettos. Normally I hear the rifle go off and...

I wish I could say I did..... A smith in Iowa a few years ago.

Ruger Red Label 45-70.........yes that is a 45-70. It started life as a 20ga. Barrels were cut off at front of monoblock, new rifled ones sweated in, rib added, chambers reamed and the whole mess regulated to where she prints the barrels about 3/4 inchs apart at 50 yards.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we went out to the woods yesterday ( Palatka, Fl. ) to check the game cams, ride the fence and put up some posted signs. In one area where I stoped the truck to check a spot where the brother in law had tossed...

Wife had a NEF with a 20ga slug barrel that goes on after the deer season is over. ( WMAs here in FL have a rule where hogs can be hunted after the deer season but not with rifles. ) She's has used the Hornady sabot, 260 grain if I remember, on a fair number of them. As someone said it is...

Hunting: A very good excuse to be cold, hot, wet, tired, bug bit, covered in poison ivy and late for dinner.......but if you take the wife the last one does not matter.

This should start a controversy............and I'll begin. While I think you are WRONG about the wild hog meat, it's better than venison, I would say that if the area you are thinking about hunting has a identified hog problem then what you propose is not wholy unreasonable. But...

Friend took these yesterday at the edge of Payne's Prairie.....Gainesville, Fl.

Anyone with experence or insight about the hunt insurance offered by the Quality Deer Management folks....?? Link is below: http://www.qdma.com/hunt-club-insurance/

Dead gators sink...... If you don't anchor him you are risking wasting a good bit of fine meat. I would strongly suggest something you can shoot VERY well. Study their anatomy as you would any animal where a humain kill was the goal. When we harvest them we set the bangstick off at the...

From the picture it looks like your hogs there are lean this time of year just as ours are here in NE FL. They do fatten up later don't they???? Ours do some but not like the ones that have access to agriculturial products. They still taste great!
