http://hunting.about.com/ Hunting / Shooting http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm <p>I continued to hunt after Dad died, and the following deer season was the most productive I'd ever had. Although it was tainted by his absence, I'm proud of my "best worst hunting season" - for more than just the venison in my freezer and the buck head on my wall. I faced a tough challenge and made it through, with the help of God and good friends.</p> <p>Read about my <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/od/hunting/a/lifeafterdeath.htm">Hunting Life After Death</a></p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm">Hunting Life After Death</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/">About.com Hunting / Shooting</a> on Thursday, February 4th, 2010 at 11:13:29.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://hunting.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm&zItl=Hunting Life After Death">Email this</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/hunting-life-after-death.htm 2010-02-04T11:13:29Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/02/04/review-whitetail-wisdom-book-by-daniel-e-schmidt.htm <p><em>Whitetail Wisdom</em> calls itself "A Proven 12-step Guide to Scouting Less and Hunting More."

Actually, these things hit the streets a few months ago, and I've been putting all three of Energizer's Night Strike lights to the test all hunting season. Now's the time to report on them, and let you know how they held up and just about their good (and not-so-good) features. They're tough and bright, for sure... but what about price, practicality, and design? Check out the reviews to find out.</p> <p>Edit: Later on Wednesday night, after I'd published these reviews and this blog post, the Night Strike Handheld light went haywire. It turned itself on and wouldn't turn off! Naturally, I had to edit the review to reflect that.

These are right up my alley... they're simple, but very versatile. This can be a bipod, monopod, or diagonal mono rest (running diagonally from the rifle to your belt area) of varying length. The neoprene case it comes with doubles as a holster for the end of the rest when you use it that way. In short, this is the best bipod product I have ever seen.</p> <p>Read about <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://hunting.about.com/od/shootingrev/gr/bipodshootingst.htm">Bipod Shooting Sticks</a></p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/review-40-bipod-shooting-sticks-2.htm">Review: 40" Bipod Shooting Sticks</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/">About.com Hunting / Shooting</a> on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 10:32:11.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/review-40-bipod-shooting-sticks-2.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/review-40-bipod-shooting-sticks-2.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://hunting.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/review-40-bipod-shooting-sticks-2.htm&zItl=Review: 40" Bipod Shooting Sticks">Email this</a></p> http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/review-40-bipod-shooting-sticks-2.htm 2010-01-21T10:32:11Z http://hunting.about.com/b/2010/01/21/north-florida-deer-hunt.htm <p>Time sure flies when you're having fun!
