Blueridge Hunt

There are times that a hunter is too tired to carry the deer home. There are some ways which he can use the preserve the deer until he come back for the deer. Speaking of being tired, I had another experience with deer in Kennebec County. This time, however, I wasn't deer hunting, but had been out after small game-squirrels, rabbits, birds-with my single-shot 16 gauge. When I started for home shortly before dark, passing through a swamp, I jumped a good buck. Since my gun was loaded with birdshot, I made no effort to get him, but continued my walk homeward. We had three hunting licenses in the family that year, one of them had been filled- the deer was hanging in the shed-so I had no real use for...

How to do a good job of hunting dog training is a question that has been asked literally for hundreds if not thousands of years. Man most likely had a dog for his hunting companion even when he hunted the mastodon. Let's face it if it were not for hunters and their dogs the human race would not exist. In modern times the term hunting dog may mean everything from a bird dog to a coon hound. Obviously you do not train a retriever the same way you would a bear dog. However when you train hunting dogs no matter what the type of game you are focusing on you must begin with basic obedience training. Basic obedience training is necessary as it allows you to handle your dog in a manner that allows you to...

Named after Parson Jack Russell of 1850-70s, Jack Russell terrier dogs have their heritage from the AKC-registered Wire-haired Fox Terrier. They are famous for their boldness to go after fox into its earthen den as well as their gentleness to let live the quarry. They are so flexible in their performance of fox hunt that they can handle underground dens efficiently with their white color that enables their fast moving bodies to be easily seen while in action. With regard to their coat colors, they can be easily distinguished with their smooth, wiry, or "broken" coat that are mainly white with black, tan, and/or brown markings.

I've often wondered what Eminem might have in his house. I wonder what decor a rapper from Detroit would want. I read his bio in several places, watched his movie 8 Mile and I've thought about this a lot. I actually grew up a block from 7 Mile. I think my life was quite a bit different than what I read about him, but still, I visualize 8 Mile, I know I traveled daily down 8 Mile's east and west side on my way to school (which was across town for me). I have some collectible items that I imagine would suit him. I might be way off the mark. I'd like to think someone like him would not indulge in mega bucks for sofas, paintings and extreme high ticket items because he's seen success, but rather would...

During the 90s, the Peabody and Emmy Award-winning television series The X-Files was considered the pinnacle of science fiction and conspiracy theory storytelling, with a sprawling mythology that helped earn its place as one of the Fox network's heaviest hitters. With its recent acquisition of producer J. J. Abrams' new show concept titled Fringe, the network is seemingly set on backing a potential all-new science fiction hit in the same vein. According to a report from Reuters, Fringe was the central target of an intense bidding war for ownership and production rights in Hollywood during the past few months, with Fox coming out the victor and taking hold of the property. Bad Robot Productions, a...

Jigs are extremely effective for walleye fishing in moving water as well as still water situations, as most anglers well know. However, anglers often get interested in hard bodied minnow baits like crank and jerkbaits and tend to neglect jigs, because often times the plastic body on the end of the jig is a grub or creature that doesn't look much like the forage walleye have access to. The plastic bodies that can be put on jigheads offer a cheap, yet productive, alternative to expensive minnow baits that are reaching sky high prices. Anglers with boats may have no problem freeing six dollar crankbaits from gnarly snags, but the shore fisherman usually must part with his prized lure because it is just...
