Though my Dad and I both just missed service in WW2 for him and Nam for me, I have strong affinity for those who did. I was fortunate enough to get a sweet M1 carbine many years ago. It is a gun I enjoy shooting, but it is most special because of its heritage. I strongly encourage you to get one of those M1s. I know you will treasure it, and as an enthusiast yourself, I promise you will enjoy taking it to the range occasionally. Mike Dan: Thanks for the story about your Dad’s service.

]]> Comment on NCWRC Wants Your Input on Night Hunting of Hogs & Yotes by Decoydoc http://www.skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/2012/02/06/ncwrc-wants-your-input-on-night-hunting-of-hogs-yotes/#comment-2665 Decoydoc Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:48:00 +0000 http://www.skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/?p=2964#comment-2665 Hunters should keep in mind and express their feelings at these meetings with regard to the issue of taking hogs with electronic calls. Currently only crows and coyotes can be taken with the aid of an electronic call. The night hunting with lights proposal provides for taking both hogs and coyotes with lights at night but only specifies that coyotes can be taken with the use of electronic calls. This would mean that when coyote hunting or crow hunting with an electronic call during the daylight hours that a hog could not be taken if it appeared. Also, if calling coyote at night with an electronic call and a hog came up, it would be unlawful to take the hog since an electronic call was being used as well. To remedy this, the WRC should add the use of an electronic call day or night as being a lawful means in taking hogs.

The selection is not perfect but very respectable, and in 15 years I have had only PERFECT customer service. I love Amazon for books and rare CDs and what-not, but the site is simply not set up to work through the decision matrix required for outdoor gear (keeping real-time track of size, color, model stock and offering in a customer-friendly interface). When you go to buy a book on Amazon, it's not like you have to choose the 1000, 2000, 5000, or 10,000 model, and each one of those set up for braided OR mono, front OR rear drag, choice of 10 colors, choice of titanium or aluminum.....and offering (for cheaper) the color/model/size combinations that aren't selling well. It's just like, "Book: New, $10. Used, $8." -Kirk @ River Mud I am a loyal Cabelas customer and I’d be hard pressed to change.

I thought the purpose was to preserve. If their own native land cannot preserve them, why shouldn't we. The sanity is, people judge, but do nothing to perpetuate the species. Or, rarely do.

I don't know why it is so hard to understand that these animals have been saved from extinction by being introduced on to ranches in Texas and allowed to live and breed. They have a value because people are willing to pay to hunt them if not they will no longer exist. Not all of them are being killed only a small percentage ... they are a natural resource that if managed will continue on. In their native countries they no longer exist or are so few that they will die off soon. These hunters and conservationists are even trying to build back the populations in the native lands. Hunting is a good thing and this story showed what seems to be a very ethical operation on the game rances in Texas. Thanks for visiting my blog Sydellg.
