  1. All not well in the Penal Colony.......

    They used to hunt each other for sport long before anyone showed up But am sure on any continent it happened, just one more of the atrocities that people did, am sure some of them Vikings did the same, or felt the same when invading Not excusing it by any means, but people were fooked
  2. All not well in the Penal Colony.......

    While I am not agreeing with any of the actions, the news could report it a little clearer for them fishermen who were fishing for elvers which has a closed season - simply means no fishing due to the stocks also this "It is standard practice for fishery officers to seize fishing gear related to...
  3. What should I get in the US

    Have a look around at other outdoor stores as well, heck even their Walmarts have some gear If you know where your going and staying, could always order items to be delivered to that hotel But the walking around the bass-to or cabalas stores is something, lots of critters hanging on the walls...
  4. Any of you Guys go Pike Fishing?

    on a few outings we will keep a few eater sized pike, there is a trick to filleting them to get that Y bone out, sometimes cook them in small cubes poached in butter or fried on the shore for a good lunch. Like some others have noted, when reeling in a couple pound walleye I have had a monster...

  8. Hunting in Ohio

    its airborne Listened to something, likely a podcast but it was found that some people contracted the strain that some deer were carrying, had certain characteristics that could only be sourced to the tested deer. But these people were city folk who have nothing to do with hunting or the...

  11. Canada or Africa? Suggestions welcome!

    Have experienced this myself on my first trip, but my second and third trip was all but easy, while a game rich environment was there, we stalked for hours and an average day put 10-15km on foot. The days always started with a plan, and with the amount of animals that plan changed multiple...
  12. Canada or Africa? Suggestions welcome!

    Would agree, there may not be much fat to render down for some awesome lard rendering (@Yukonmountainhunter tell the missus bear lard is great for making Yorkshire puddin's) There is something to be said for a fall bear that's been feeding on blue berries though for a while, certainly better...
