Chronic Wasting Disease is a member of group of transmittable brain diseases that affect elk and deer. What causes this horrible disease? Even scientists in the field really do not know fully. Some say it is a little protein called a prion which causes the brain to manufacture toxic chemicals horribly toxic to your brain. The brain becomes riddled with holes looking almost like a sponge. Hence Chronic Wasting Disease is referred to as being in the spongiform group of wasting diseases. You may have heard of other similar brain diseases such as "Scrapie" which affects sheep. Scrapie disease has been around for a long time - 200 years at least. Next is "Mad Cow Disease" which kills domestic...

Scanning Scania

Of his native coastline, Scanian poet Gabriel Jonsson wrote: " ...the waters from two countries whisper, 'Jag alskar dig' and 'Jeg elsker dej.'" ("I love you" in Swedish and Danish). Scania (or Skane), Sweden's southernmost province, has been called the cradle of the English race. Raiding Vikings founded the Anglo-Scandinavian dominion of the 11th century Danish king, Knut den Store (Canute the Great). Legend has it that he named the future university city of Lund, founded by Canute in 1020, after his English capital, London. Lund is a remarkable city, the heart of which lies on a massive midden dating back to the period 1000﷓1350 A.D. These layers of medieval culture are up to six meters...

This sounds like a joke, I know. Just a couple days ago I saw a newspaper article that prompted young racers, and specifically illegal racers to watch auto racing videos, car racing videos, drifting videos or even girls car videos instead of heading out on the streets and risking their lives. To those involved in racing in one way or another this statement or comment may seem as childish as asking a hungry man to stop eating after just one bite. The writer of this mentioned article invoked all the high risks present at illegal racing events, not only for racers but for the crowd also. Alright, we might not all agree with this sort of advice, but no one can deny the fun there is to be had by even...

According to the report, sales of lottery tickets online will not be permitted, and those companies that have jumped the gun and started operations could face...

Hockey tickets are one of the most popular stocking stuffers of the holiday season. Once the snow starts to fall, it means that it's time to strap on the skates and hit the ice for some hockey, one of the most popular sports in the country. Once Upon A Time In Canada The actual beginnings of ice hockey have been traced back to the 17th century. But professional ice hockey as we know it today was started in Montreal, Canada in 1875. A number of students from McGill University officially codified the rules and the game caught on like wildfire. In just a few years, the first world championships were held and the oldest hockey rivalries were born. In 1893, the first Stanley Cup was awarded. Though the...

Most of us are familiar with the direct energy salespeople who go door to door or run stalls in shopping centres and supermarkets. Almost 7 million households in the UK have taken out an energy plan with a direct energy salesperson, but research from the price comparison site suggests that many people aren’t happy with the deal they get and that they may end up paying more, rather than less, for their energy as a result.uSwitch found that less than a quarter of people who switch with direct energy salespeople (22%) believe they got a good deal, and of these, only 6% said that it significantly cut their bills. Over a third of those polled (37%) thought that energy salesmen didn’t give them enough...

This can be similarly compared to writing with one’s left hand when they are in fact right handed; thus resulting in an illegible handwriting and incoherent movement. Though the vast majority of the world’s population is dominated by right-handed people, resulting to manufacturers creating products, which are mostly meant for right-handed people; there are still the left-handed population, which has the same ability as those of the right handed.

Whitetail Deer Fawns

Whitetail fawns are usually born in late April through early June. The Whitetail fawn generally weighs between 4 and 8 pounds at birth. Like most newborns the first 48 hours of life are crucial to survival. If the doe is not well nourished and healthy the fawn's chances of survival are greatly reduced. Fawns that survive the first week of life stand a good chance of joining the deer population.In the first few weeks of a fawn's life a doe will determine the general area that the fawn will stay. The fawns have a reddish-tan to reddish-brown coat at birth and are covered with white spots. These spots provide camouflage that helps the fawn blend in with it's surroundings. The spots will usually fade...

> Ethical hunters should always do their best to deliver a clean lethal shot that ends the life of game quickly. We should "pass up" shots that are less than sure. There are occasions however when our best intentions require us to track game. Out of respect for the wildlife we hunt, we should make every effort possible to find the game we have shot. From the moment we raise our hunting weapon of choice the tracking process begins. When the arrow is released or the trigger is pulled pay close attention to every detail. Watch the deer carefully after the shot and study it's reactions, a grazing shot, rib shot, heart or lung shot can make the deer jump and run off at full speed. A gut shot deer often...

A rifle scope will provide you with some level of magnification. Whereas the old iron sights do not. A quality rifle scope is the key to a successful day at the range or in the field. Rifle scopes bring distant targets and surrounding objects up close allowing for a safer, more accurate shooting experience.

Why Hunters Need a Ghillie Suit

I hear too many hunters arguing that a Ghillie suit is of no use to a hunter. No tool is of use to any craftsman unless he knows how to use it. A hunters gun would be of no use if the hunter didn't know how to use it. One of the most common arguments I hear concerns the use of "hunters orange". The argument says that if one has to wear the orange it defeats the advantage of a Ghillie suit. Not true. Game animals are for the most part color blind. The wearing of orange, with or without camouflage is of no consequence. The wearing of a ghillie is to break up the shape that strikes fear into the heart of every animal in the forest; The shape of a human being. Ghillie suit manufacturers could make a...

Sometimes a hunter is difficult to identify the target under particular circumstances, such as fog. One of the most difficult times to identify objects is during a fog. Fog not only distorts things but it changes coloration. Under this condition, a deer which is standing head-on will resemble a man, a tall stump or some similar object. Even a deer which is walking towards a hunter will sometimes be mistaken for a man. This happened to me on one occasion and I was so surprised when the deer turned broadside and revealed its true identity that I failed to react fast enough to get a shot. On another occasion I was walking along a country road when I saw what I supposed was a deer. It was walking down...

It's like a bike wheel. If you tighten the bolts wrong, too much on one side for example, it spins wrong and rubs the brake pads. It's the same with a Rifle scope.

Well, that shift happens when the parallax setting is not properly adjusted for that distance. Some have mistaken the parallax adjustment as a focus or even a range finder, but it is neither of these. The parallax adjustment, when set properly will...

Whether or not you are an outdoorsman, these accessories can be helpful, even in practical situations. They also make great gifts for young men because they are built to be safe and durable.

Today, almost all hunters use a rifle scope of some kind. The reason being is simplicity. With a scope all you have to do is line up your crosshairs (reticle) with your target. Also, it is so much easier to learn to shoot with a rifle scope than with the old iron sights. They also magnify making the target appear much closer, therefore easier to see. When looking to purchase your first rifle scope, or seeking one for a child, there are several things to take into consideration. First and foremost, since the rifle scope is being purchased for a newcomer to the hunting scene (also known as a novice), you certainly should not be looking at those costing $1000 or more. In fact, a novice should not spend...

When you are ready to buy a new hunting knife, one of the most important issues to consider is whether you want the blade to be made from a stainless steel or high carbon steel. There are several very distinct advantages and disadvantages of both types of steels and I am writing this article to share these factors with the reader so that you can make an educated decision when it is your time to buy. As a general rule of thumb, high carbon steel is harder than stainless steel and will stay sharp for a longer period of time. The downside of having steel that is so hard is that when the knife eventually loses its sharp edge, it will be more difficult to re-sharpen. Hunters are particularly fond of high...

These ponds were made by my older foster brother and was quite a thing to watch. They had no big equipment to create these ponds, just a tractor with a big scoop, which looked like a big shovel with two handles to control the depth and direction. Hard work but a great result. What Are Ponds? Well, ponds are small bodies of water, usually fresh water, that can support life forms. Some ponds get as large as a small lake while other I have seen are just a half barrel in size. Most ponds are usually man...

It is interesting that "The Three Key National Hunt System" has been launched hot on the back of the "Simply The Best System". The reason I say this is because they both come out of the same stable, Sportsworld Publishing but basically take opposing approaches to fining winners during the National Hunt season. Whilst Simply the Best takes a retrospective view of trainer's past records dating from the season before the Three Keys relies on current season's performances. But there has to be more than one way to skin a rabbit so there is no reason why two such opposing methods could not both work well.

In this case, sight your rifle in at 2 inches high at 100 yards. For many calibers, this...

In certain cases, you will even find larger fish swimming near floating wood or debris. Generally, the best place to fish for big game fish is near reefs. This is because these larger fish prey on the fish that live in the reef. Oftentimes, fishermen try...

Today’s modern bicycles are a far cry from our earliest attempts at pedal power. In fact, what many regard as the birth of the bicycle had no pedals at all. It was more of a wooden hobby horse on wheels that the rider would straddle and push the machine along with his legs. While it had no pedals, it did at least have steering. It was known as the ‘running machine’. Compared with today’s range of bikes, it doesn’t sound much fun really! Later, another wooden beast would hit the fashionable cobblestone streets of Europe – the Boneshaker. The appropriately named Boneshaker had pedals, and was entirely made of wood, apart from the hard, metal wheels. Thankfully, for the well-to-do riding...

Professional boxing is a sport dominated by men, but a few women have earned the right to be in the profession as well.

The first real identification with female boxing as an actual event took place in 1904 when it became an event in the Olympics. Yet the concept of a female boxing match being aired on television didn't occur until 1954. From 1975 to 1978 many women applied for a boxing license in various states throughout the United States. By 1977 many states were allowing women to get such licenses and have official professional boxing matches. The length of time for each round was shorter...
