Almost anyone involved with issues surrounding feral hogs — landowners; hog trappers; hog hunters; wildlife managers; businesses that operate put-and-take hog "hunts;" domestic livestock producers; businesses that buy, butcher and sell feral hog meat — will find something they don't like in the proposed revamping of Texas' regulations governing movement of the wild swine.

from NRA-ILA
In yet another case of “zero-tolerance” enforcement defying common sense, fourth-grader Bradley Geslak was suspended from Toy Town Elementary School for bringing a Memorial Day souvenir to school. According to a May 29 Telegram.com article, a uniformed veteran gave the 10-year-old two empty rifle shell casings from blanks used during the town’s Memorial Day celebration Monday morning.

A Hunt in the Unspoiled British Columbia Wilderness
from Sports Afield
A moose wallow will fool you, first time. It looks something like a whitetail scrape, just a muddy patch stinking of urine, sometimes with a track in it, more often smoothed by rolling shoulders. We found plenty of them in wet meadows and willow sloughs on the mountain flanks above camp. That first afternoon the British Columbia sun beamed happily, if uncharacteristically, on October woods, the willows already naked, the dwarf birches barely clinging to their last rusty leaves, the sedges yellow. It was late fall at this latitude, but the temperature suggested summer. It wouldn’t last. More
