Deer Hunting On A Budget

With the rising cost of fuel these days, I can imagine there are a lot of deer hunters who will be looking for ways to cut their deer hunting cost. Maybe this isn't the year you buy that new rifle or bow. Perhaps that new set of Camouflage clothes will have to wait. Or maybe you're looking to get involved in deer hunting but it looks too expensive. I'm going to tell you that it doesn't have to be expensive and you can get started deer hunting for less than $1000 and even less than $500 if you pick your gear correctly.

Where Have All Our Outdoor Olympians Gone?

First off, before I get started ranting, I want to say a big ole CONGRATULATIONS to the U.S. Women's Shooting Olympian, Corey Cogdell for bringing home the Bronze Metal in the Womens Trap event.

Now, back to ranting.

You know what is missing in the Olympics nearly every year? More Medal winners in the Archery and Shooting events!

winchester 30-30If you're getting long in the tooth like me, chances are your first deer gun was chambered in 30-30 Winchester. Chances are also good that the Winchester 30-30 you had was either a Winchester Model 94 or a Marlin 336 (or one of the many knockoffs).

Survivorman vs Man vs Wild

Funny, I was thinking about these two shows and the difference between Survivorman and Man vs Wild when I saw someone mentioned Les Stroud and Bear Grylls in the comment section of the Alaska Experiment post.

I like both Survivorman and Man vs Wild.

The Alaska Experiment

I'm not a big TV watcher. I prefer doing things on the Computer or reading a book. I feel like both the Computer and TV have pulled us away from the joys of reading. But anyhow, I don't want to get started on that rant. What I wanted to ask is how many of you have seen this show called "The Alaska Experiment"? If there is one thing that can suck me to a TV it's a show about Alaska.
