Good stuff from my blog roll friends…
I don’t get out to read and comment on my blog roll friends as much as I’d like, but I do as much as I can… here’s some of the stuff that’s going on out there.
First of all, over at Simply Outdoors, Arthur is writing a little about the feral pig invasion. I’ve commented from time to time about the pig populations in Michigan (Arthur’s home state), and the approach the state has taken by permitting licensed hunters to shoot hogs on site. I think it’s a great idea, but if eradication is the goal, I have my doubts. Well, apparently Arthur has some questions of his own. Go check it out, and add your two-cents’ worth.
Meanwhile, at the NorCal Cazadora blog, Holly’s had a little back and forth with an anti-hunter. As always, it’s an educational opportunity to see what the “other side” thinks about hunters, as well as a chance to read a reasonable and level-headed response. If you haven’t already, you should give it a look.
Kristine is still cranking it out at Hunt Smart, Think Safety with her “Safety Friday” posts and community round-ups. If you’re ever looking for more great stuff to read, check out her updates in the Community Calvalcade.
And our friend across “The Pond”, the Suburban Bushwacker has a recent post that is just the kind of random strangeness that makes me love his blog. The image he’s posted is, alone, worth the page view. There’s more great stuff on his recent pages as well.
The Western Wanderer has a write-up about the latest offer from the folks who make the SPOT rescue beacon. In my opinion, anyone who spends much time in the backcountry should have a personal locator device like this. The original PLBs were fairly expensive, but the SPOT is priced more modestly, and offers some features that the others don’t have, such as an update message and non-emergency transmission capabilities. Anyway, Jon writes about the new offer in which you can receive a free SPOT simply by signing up for their coverage package. That’s a pretty sweet deal, especially for such a powerful piece of safety equipment.
I could go on, as all of my blogroll friends are turning out some great stuff. With wild turkey season (the bird, not the bourbon) just around the bend, you cacn bet that activity will be picking up for a bunch of them too!

Ha Ha you haven’t heard the half of it, yet.

Isn’t it fun that there is so much great stuff out there to read? I need a new name for the Community round-up post though. Still haven’t found one I like yet.
