Re: Boddington: Irrational Antis Reserve Special Hate for Women

So, in other words...women are not to kill animals in-order to have fresh wholesome meat to put on the table for their family. I stood right next to my husband as he butchered my doe and I can state that the meat had a very good color to it.
This doe looked healthy, walked just fine, no bones showing and dropped straight down when I shot her. As Angela stated how many people know the origin of the animal that they are serving their family?

Thanks Angela for sharing your story. My husband and I got our first deer (one each) this season and loved it. There is more to hunting than just killing an animal, just as you wrote. Scouting, hours in a stand each day and finally killing my first doe. Then it took the two of us over 4 hours (first time) to cutting and packing the meat, not including the preliminary processing (gutting, skinning etc) the night before.
My husband and I were in the stand together and got to share the enjoyment of seeing: bald eagles, turkey vultures and a group of turkeys pass throught the field. It was the high point of our year.

But the only way to analyze age is by a jawbone or a tooth of an already dead deer. How to tell the age before the deer is dead would be the problem.

Thanks Erin for your through review of using this ring sight with a Glock. My next hand gun will be a Glock and wearing trifocals this type of sight would be much easier to get use to.

I have a Crimson Laser on my Taurus 709 Slim and I really like it. The only problem I have is locating an IWB holster to fit both the Taurus and the laser.

I found your article quite interesting. But I also noticed that you night photo was in color. Where the game camera I use, all the night photos are in black and white. So, why do you have color night photos?

Re: Two Important Ideas You Can Learn About Wildlife Photography From The Things You've Been Overlooking

Thanks for the great tips on shooting wildlife photography. I agree my arms did get tired when I shot a immature turkey vulture with a 75-300mm lens. Unfortunately, I could not fill the frame with the vulture. He/she was at the top of a dead tree and I was pretty close but did not want to scare him off. I took about 120 pictures (he kept changing positions, flew off and came back) and did get a few that are really nice.
This was at Rt. 66 State Park in Missouri

That is very interesting, to isolate and illustrate a story. Never thought of action photography in those terms.
Thanks for a great interview.
