I went through a period when I was 10-13 years old when I was enamored with the stars and planets. This was before the internet so I had to ride my bike to the county library to get any real information on such things. There was new information coming out almost daily about the world of stars...

I'm a bird watcher along with being a bird hunter. From my own observations - tropical storms and severe weather fronts usually "run off" whatever migratory species you have before the storm. A September or late August tropical storm will usually deplete an area of doves, teal and shorebirds...

My club is in the lowcountry. It opened for gun, primitive weapons, bow, knives, dog drives with shotguns, over bait,...on August 15th. I've sat a couple of times but mostly because I wanted to get to the club and do some work so I took a morning sit then got to work. I'm almost hoping I...

My only contribution is bang-flopping a blue wildebeest with a 180 grain Accubond at 2750 fps muzzle velocity in a .30-06. It wasn't a perfect shot but the shock put him right down. The PH had me put another shot through the lungs just to make sure but he never moved from where he fell. The...

SC is well represented. I grew up in Moncks Corner and still pretty much hunt out of Moncks Corner (Deer in Orangeburg County and ducks on the coast) but my most-of-the-time home is in Fort Mill.

My one safari was with Bayly-Sippel - 100% top notch. My plane in was very late but they were there to greet me. Most importantly to me was that the hunting felt like hunting - on foot and nowhere near the vehicle. The company was pleasant in the truck, at the table, and around the campfire...

Get a separate 20 gauge - it'll be cheaper and you won't have to worry about a $50k gun will shooting pigeons...

1) Build up to dangerous game - enjoy the journey. BTW - the Swahili word for "Journey" is Safari... 2) A PH taking a newbie client on a dangerous game hunt is a very different dangerous game hunt than that same PH taking someone with a lot more experience with a gun, in the bush, around other...

I'm heading out the door so I'll make this succinct. 1) Do him a favor and don't get a SxS...get an O/U - most people just shoot them better...SxS guns are, for most folks, an acquired skill. 2) Increase your budget to $2k or a hair more and get a quality gun. If you buy a new $1k gun, it'll...

Like anywhere, people in the cities are different from people in the countryside...

I did that. I used the GPS as an alarm clock too since it is always "tuned" to local time. No regrets and the PH didn't care.

Dry heat is different from high humidity heat. I was outside in 72 degree weather this past weekend, changing a starting relay in a Yamaha 150, not terribly exhausting work, but had with sweat dripping from the tip of my nose and making my glasses side off.

Photon or Proton?

Here's how I try to understand it - For God to "prevent evil" would be to forcibly control the actions of those willing to do evil. But, forcibly controlling the free-will of others is the basic definition of evil so God, being Holy cannot. But he has offered an eternity to those who believe...

I didn't say that the core samples were faked. I said, time could have been different or even non-existent back then. If so, we'd never know it. Again, God is the God of time. So, arguing 6,000 years or 6 billion years is meaningless. That's my only point. The larger point is that it...
