Here are some other blogs that I participate in: You'll learn everything you need to know about getting started in and being successful at predator hunting! Choose Your Hunting Partners Carefully! Great Outdoors Quotes In our emasculate age, it is considered uncouth to confess to anything resembling a killer instinct.
Yet such a thing does exist, and it is worth study. It is fashionable to protest that one does not hunt in order to kill, as with Ortega y Gasset, yet if one does not kill, hunting is emotionally unsatisfying. This is why some people hunt and others do not. I think it is ingenuous to protest that the killer instinct is evil.
Man is a carnivorous predator - you have but to look to his teeth - and though very few men now need to hunt for their food, a good many men do need to hunt for emotional fulfillment. This is not evil. It is as natural as the enjoyment of good food, great art, and fine music.
To deny this is simply to look foolish. I know many shooters who are not hunters, and I do not think less of them for this. I know a surprising number of hunters who are not shooters, and while I think this is peculiar, I do not think it is wicked. I must admit that today in my declining years my bloodlust has slackened, but this has no moral significance for me.
After Spencer returned to camp with the snake bite, family members watched his finger turn progressively worse before they sent an adult cousin, Ken Walsh, to run for help along the dangerous trail at night carrying just a flashlight. The show chronicles the pitfalls and problems along that route before family members and rescue crews loaded a morphine-dosed Spencer into an ambulance for a middle-of-the-night sprint to Three Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass.
There, he received 14 units of antivenom. After two days in the hospital and two weeks of rehabilitation, Spencer was on the road to recovery.

The Adventures of Rattlesnake Roger freakin' cracked me up! --Dr. Emily Taylor (San Luis Obispo, CA) I loved this book! I had no.
The year-old North Medford High School junior's middle digit now operates as every teenager's does — except it does get a bit colder than his other fingers during winter. The ordeal was destined to become just another piece of family-reunion fodder, albeit more dramatic than most, until Walsh returned to his home in Maine and told the story to a local newspaper.
That story eventually snaked its way to Cheri Productions in Los Angeles. The company produces dramatic documentaries about stories like this one, and the Funks were soon on their way to cableland.
Get it from Amazon. The Adventures of Rizzo.
A hunter that I know named Roger contacted me several weeks ago after killing a massive diamondback rattlesnake while out coyote hunting. He wanted to get the skull cleaned up, and would be in my neck of the woods, so I had him stop by and drop the head off. I'm not scared of snakes or anything like that, but this snake's eyes were still open, and after seeing how long snakes can move around after they are dead, it just made me squirm a little.
This is one big rattlesnake head! After the beetles were done with the head, the real work began.
So when the skull is cleaned, it completely falls apart! It's a pretty painstaking process to hold it all together just right and apply the appropriate amount of super glue where needed, especially when youa re trying to go for a certain position with the skull.
Most of the time, this process can take over an hour. Here's the skull once it was completed:.
Keep an eye out for those rattlesnakes when you are out hunting and hiking! Sneaky devils, I tell ya. Posted by rizzo at Coble Family October 31, at 9: Roger Kesterson June 17, at 5:
