Wild Ed's Texas Outdoors: The Texas Native Fish Aquarium Project

One of my favorite American Bloggers, and he is Texan too I may hasten to add, has put a lovely aquarium together with fish, native to the creeks and streams of his home!

Whitetail Woods: Gun Safety, How Important is it to You?

Our intrepid deer stalker Rick Kratzke, has some important information for gun owners!

Whitetail Woods: Gun Safety, How Important is it to You?#links

This might be a bit harsh or maybe even radical compared to what you normally see and read here but, it is something I have become aware of and something I think everyone should take a minute and think about.

There is so much in going on in the country today between the war in Irag & Afghanistan, the battle with drug cartels, terrorists planning and completing plots on our own soil and that is just talking about people from outside our country.


Mr K makes a salient point and strongly urges us to safeguard our firearms in these troubling times!

The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Buy Local! Flyfishing Artwork by Blogger Joel DeJong

Albert Rasch, world traveller, explorer, and all round good chap, at The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles, is a big supporter of local artists, especially artists depicting hunting and fishing ideas:

The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Buy Local! Flyfishing Artwork by Blogger Joel DeJong

"On January 1st 2010, Joel DeJong, an accomplished artist, challenged himself to paint or draw a fly for each of the 365 days of the year. Joel started posting one original painting or drawing a day for an entire year. Mixing his love of Fly Fishing with Painting, the posts are centered around the subject of flies, fish, and the art of Fly Fishing."

Very commendable of you Albert, excellent support of our fellow sportsmen and in this case artist!

Cheers,
Mike S

The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Boating in Cooler Weather, Watch Out for Manatees!

The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Boating in Cooler Weather, Watch Out for Manatees!

Albert At The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles reminds us that:

"Recent cold weather means high numbers of manatees may be concentrated in warm-water refuges near power plants, rivers and springs throughout the state. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) cautions boaters to be on the lookout for manatees moving into the Intracoastal Waterway to reach warm-water refuges at power plants and springs. Boaters should slow down and strictly obey posted speed restrictions in manatee protection zones."

Cheers,
Mike S
