A Visit With Herman Cain and Joe the Plumber
Posted by

At this year’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT) in Las Vegas, outdoor writer Anne Vinnola, a.k.a. “Annie got her Gun“, had an opportunity to sit down and chat with presidential hopeful, Herman Cain, and “Joe the Plumber”, Joe Wurzelbacher.

Many things were discussed and among those was the issue of gun control. When asked about his thoughts on gun control, Mr. Cain responded, “If a bill comes across my desk as president, that hinders American’s right to bear arms, I would veto it in a second.”

Skinny Moose Blogger Gets RAM Truck To Test. Offers Contest
Posted by

Who says it isn’t any fun to be a blogger? I’ve been at this long enough that I recall getting frustrated every time someone would ask, “What’s a blog?” That’s water under the bridge. Now the question is, “Who’s got the best blog?”

Many of you know that Skinny Moose Media runs a network for bloggers. With a focus on hunting, fishing, trapping, outdoor recreation, environment, etc., Skinny Moose will provide those interested in becoming and/or sharing their writing adventures a free platform on which to get that done. However, Skinny Moose blog network isn’t just your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill free blogging platform.

Aside from having the opportunity to link up with the largest outdoor oriented blogging network on the Web, bloggers will receive a customized website, tech support and many other amenities no other network offers. The more successful your blog becomes, the more the benefits pile up.

Dan “Moose” McLaughlin, owner and administrator of his Skinny Moose Media blog, “Moose Droppings“, has been with Skinny Moose Media since very early on in its inception. Dan has been earmarked by RAM Trucks to test out a brand spanking new RAM Outdoorsman model of truck for two weeks.

Dan had some concerns about how he might use the truck but was reassured by RAM Trucks that they want him to use the truck as he would any other truck. McLaughlin is headed east from his home in North Carolina and will be hooking up with an outfitting and guide company. That might provide some tests for the RAM.

Needless to say, Dan is thrilled to have been selected by the RAM Truck promotional company. In response to this opportunity, McLaughlin says, “There is no doubt my association with Skinny Moose has given me the creditability to get this opportunity.”

There is no doubt that Skinny Moose helped launch “Moose” and his web site and while Skinny Moose provides writers with many opportunities, it is the dedicated, hard work of the individual that renders this kind of attention and success.

Skinny Moose Media CEO Steven Remington heaped praise and recognition on McLaughlin’s work saying, “At Skinny Moose our goal has always been to provide a cutting edge, support driven platform for writers like Dan to excel and reach their writing goals but it is ultimately the effort of the individual that reaps the rewards.”

As part of Dan’s test drive, he and RAM Trucks are running a contest. Prizes include $100 gas gift card, gift cards to Gander Mountain and Ram Truck Gift Packs. Visit his site for rules and how to become eligible.

Now the fun begins and it can for readers too. Participant in “Moose’s” contest and keep track of where he goes and what he does with this RAM Truck. And if you think this is pretty cool, consider your blogging opportunities with Skinny Moose Media.

“Bear Logic”
Posted by

I’ve always heard since I was a youngster hunting with my Dad, that wild animals were very much creatures of habit. I recall vividly Dad telling me that when hunting white tail deer that often deer will follow the same trails at around the same time doing their daily or nightly routines UNTIL some guy clad in hunter orange clothing and carrying a gun intrudes and messes it all up.

Darren Choate, “About the Hunt”, tells us of his experiences of setting up a game camera and tracking the movement of a bear in preparation for the upcoming bear hunting season. It is quite uncanny, the timing of the bear’s visit but more importantly it’s remarkable the “bear logic” conclusions or at least hypothesis Darren arrives at after doing some calculating.

Are bears that predictable? Stay tuned as Darren says he’ll let you know.

Media Forums Invitation
Posted by

As most of you know, I am half owner with my son of Skinny Moose Media, LLC. Our business is a multi-faceted Internet media business. Most of you know me from my blogging. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to anyone who might be interested in joining our Skinny Moose Media Forums and discuss just about any topic that might be of interest to you.

As you know most of what I write here is political but focused mostly on hunting, fishing, trapping, the environment, Endangered Species Act, etc. Most of you enjoy reading that but have other interests as well.

The Skinny Moose Forums are open to anyone for a limited time, so act now. We are prompting all our bloggers within the Skinny Moose Media Network to join in discussions as well as post up current information and links to their own articles. This should provide a more interactive medium for readers to find information and also participate in discussions of current events as well as posting your own.

It is the intent of Skinny Moose Media, LLC. to make the forums available to anyone interested. However, we will only have registration open at specified intervals in order to drastically reduce the spam that comes from our world of losers who don’t have a life.

If registration is closed, please contact me via this blog and I’ll make arrangement. Please take the time to sign up and invite your friends as well. Once registration is closed, I’ll put up a notice when registration will open again.

To register and get started, click this link.

Note: The forums are being constructed. We have plenty of forums topics and will expand as demand is calling for it. You are welcomed to suggest a forum category.

10-Year Old Adventure Hunt
Posted by

This is unbelievable! At least from my perspective. Friend and fellow Skinny Moose blogger, “Desert Rat” shared with me that his 10-year old daughter had written a story about a weekend hunting adventure. Thinking it would be “cute” and having raised two children of my own and having a 9-year old granddaughter, I ventured over to Desert Rat’s blog to read.

Needless to say I was completely amazed and also a bit embarrassed. Embarrassed because I discovered a 10-year old kid can write better than I can.

See for yourself!
