How hunts for possums, really?

It’s a real thrill if you haven’t. Give it a whirl; or at least read the article!

Another good article by Gayne on turtle trapping titled “Bringing home the shell.”

If you’ve never had turtle meat, then you’re really in for a treat.

Here’s an interesting article, none-the-less: the physics of fly fishing.

So, if you’re looking for a good academic read about fishing, this is the article for you.

But if you just enjoy fishing because it doesn’t require much thought, don’t give it a bother.

Here’s an article Gayne Young wrote not to long ago about squirrel hunting; mainly using them to increase your accuracy for larger game.

“When I first started shooting them it was just to get them out of my yard. But it turns out they’re a lot harder to hunt than I thought. It’s good practice, keeps me sharp.”

Get them Yard Rats!

While this doesn’t matter much to hobby fisherman, it’s fishing news non-the-less.

Two Indonesian boats were confiscated in Australia for potential illegal fishing after local fisherman tipped off the authorities. If it’s determined what they were doing was illegal, their boats will be destroyed and the crew could face fines & penalities.

They didn’t want all of their fish taken. They’re just jealous!

When’s the last time you went squirrel hunting?

Bring back those feelings from when you were young can make hunting even more enjoyable.

“Some people just never seem to grow up. I guess I’m one of them. I still get a quiet kick out of squirrel hunting, just like I did when I was 9 years old.”

While this story doesn’t seem hunting related, it is.

This manager stole over $700,000 from her company to, get this, fund her and her husbands extreme hunting trips & supplies.

Seriously, if you need THAT much money to hunt, you’re not doing it right!

Here’s a good article about sports fishing that was posted recently.

It certainly gives another dimension to the topic that most people don’t think about.

Enjoy!
