When two worlds meet it can create for interesting times. Well, the world my wife came from was drastically different than the world I was raised in. The collision of these two worlds came during the first year of hunting season during the first year of our marriage. Elk season rolled around, and I was doing my best to be a responsible and dutiful husband, but the computer kept leaping in front of me and forcing me to watch hunting shows – once in a while. Nothing extreme. My wife thought it was a little extreme, but I assure you I never watched more than two consecutive dvds. Unless it was absolutely necessary. The season rolled around and I was excited to introduce my new bride to this way of life that I love so much. We planned the hunt – I had my spot picked out, I had my rifle, my ammo, my clothes, everything I needed. The night before the hunt, my wife wanted to make sure I’d packed everything.
From Marian’s Hunting Stories, etc.
Darlene Davidson, who lives at Eagle Lake, said she “loves camping on the Mississippi River” and this is one of the reasons why. She saw these deer swimming and running a few weekends ago in our great outdoors.

When Jody asked for guest bloggers she mentioned that if you wrote a guest post while she was away you would be required to write something funny. Now, writing humor is not my forté but I did promise Jody a guest post and I like to keep my promises. So, I guess I’ll tell you the story of perhaps the most embarrassing and, at least years later, funny thing that ever happened to me in the woods.
Scott B. called with a question I’ve had a LOT of personal experience with: dog boots. This topic has generated more frustration among more hunters than almost any other (besides over/under vs. side-by-side).
Whether it’s cactus or lava rock, our pooches’ paws sometimes need a little help if we’re going to hunt more than a day [...]

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.
Bear Grylls and Man vs Wild
Any way you cut it, Bear Grylls is one tough hombre. Ex British Special Forces and climbed Mount Everest when he was 23. One of the youngest Brits to do so. That’s after he broke his back in a training exercise with the British Special Forces.
