Most folks predator hunt after deer season and before spring turkey season. Cold winter is prime time for furs. Here in Texas there isn't much of a prime time, we do occasionally get a cold spell that last a few weeks but for the most part furs are never really good. I don't chase the pointy tooth critters for the fur anyway. I will sell some hides if they are decent but my goal is fun and population control. As the price of furs has gone down around here the less guys are trapping so the more …

A hunters emotions: My Montana Mule Deer Hunt
Anything you care about or enjoy doing can and will bring out emotions. A mom in the stands at the baseball game cheering for her son, cares, that's why she's there, that's why she's cheering, that's why when junior strikes out she shows emotion.

Ft Peck Reservoir
Ft Peck Reservoir is 245,000 surface acres of water located in central Montana.

I assure you the hogs I've hunted and killed and learned from are wild, nasty, 100% born free and mean hogs. Now if you want to learn something follow along. The Spanish explorer Hernando De …
Chao Phraya River: wild fishing in the city
On day four of fishing in Thailand our guide John had arranged a boat for us to fish the Chao Phraya river. This was not part of the original plan but upon arrival in Thailand John told me we had a chance to do this and would be one of very few foreigners to fish this part of the river and his first foreign clients so I said, I'm in. We changed our day of barrimundi fishing to the wild river fishing. I was looking forward to barrimundi but the excitement of fishing in the wild on a huge …
