Outdoor Blog Posts of Note - July 3, 2007

Kristine, at Gunslinger, again came out with a great piece today. Her The Numbers Are Up post is surely worth a read. One report says the number of hunters is down, the next ‘report’ says there up, and on and on. Yet, what really matters is what we are personally doing to make sure hunting and our right to enjoy the outdoors isn’t somehow taken away. We have a voice. Let’s use it wisely.

After reading Michelle’s post - Kootenay Lake - I found myself wanting to fish it, too. This was the first I’ve ever heard of Kootenay, which just happens to be British Columbia’s largest fresh water lake. Where have I been? Anyway, Michelle put up some valuable information about the lake and as she always does, included some awesome pictures. Thanks Michelle.

Kevin, at hunting life, is asking for some outdoor tips for his new site. Everyone must have a secret tip that they can share in support of Kevin’s new site. Anty up, people!

Othmar posted some pictures from his Sunday hike in rural ’suburban’ BC. The last picture of a ‘deer’ trail is really something. I’d gladly spend time in a treestand 25 yards off that trail!

An interesting post on Moose Dropping discusses the combination of legislation, hunter orange, and bow hunting. I’d love to hear Kristine’s opinion on hunter orange & bow hunting!

If you are looking for a place to move to - one that has everything you need for your outdoor lifestyle, you might want to consider Asheville NC. According to Lindsay Nash, at the Girls Gone Outdoors blog, Asheville is the place to be. “I can’t think of a better place to live” is how she sums it up before beginning her Atlanta bashing. This is an interesting blog, so check it out.

Darrell,

Thanks for pointing my post out. I appreciate it.

I saw Othmar’s post as well. He lives in some beautiful countryside and his wife takes beautiful pictures of it. I think my favorite was when he thought a llama was a deer.

I’ll have to give some thought to the whole hunter orange issue. I’ve don’t believe I’ve ever written a post about that. I might have to write one.

“I’d gladly spend time in a treestand 25 yards off that trail!” So would I my friend. In fact it is the perfect deer funnel. The picture was taken from a narrow hiking trail leading along the river. The river is behind the camera. To either side of the deer trail the hillside went up almost vertical. This was the only spot the deer could with relative ease access the ridge top. The narrow hiking trail was full of deer tracks coming from both sides and then leading up the large deer trail in picture. The only downside is, this is a research forest that does not permit hunting or fishing within its boundaries.

Kristine - Thanks for the compliments.
