Uncsensored Hunting and Fishing News!
Telling real stories of hunters and anglers without getting canceled...
They don’t think you know, but I know that you do…
If Oliver Anthony and his song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” has taught us anything over the past few weeks, it’s that Americans are tired of being told how to think, how to act, and what to do. But, it’s not just with our jobs and money, anymore.
This hits home in the hunting and fishing communities.
At Eastern Outdoors Media, we’ve become real careful in what we share on our platform. We don’t want to be shutdown. We don’t want our hard work to disappear overnight.
This is why you have received this newsletter. This is why I am asking you to subscribe.
This newsletter is for the people who want to share hunting and fishing stories, talk about guns, share their experiences, and not worry about a liberal, soft-bellied anti-hunter tattle-telling.
This is a space for real outdoorsman.
Let’s get started.
We are too soft on poachers.
That photo is from the Oregon State Police after 29-year-old Walker Erickson pled guilty to 22 counts - TWENTY TWO - to illegally killing deer and elk, wasting game animals, and trespassing.
Officers discovered six sets of deer antlers and three sets of elk antlers. Erickson killed six deer and eight elk, including a nice 7x7 bull. His friend, Hunter Wagner was found guilty in helping him kill deer and a cow elk.
While we can all agree that Erickson is the worst of the worst when it comes to hunters, what do you think about his sentencing?
He was given a fine of $75,000 and will spend two weeks in jail during each of the next three elk hunting seasons. Some of his charges were also elevated from misdemeanors to felonies.
There was no information that stated that Erickson’s hunting license will be revoked, but at the very least, he should never hunt again.
While Erickson will pay a hefty fine and miss three elk seasons, I think removing his hunting privileges should be the first line of punishment.
What do you think a fair punishment would be?
Tennessee is crushing velvet
Rebecca Page killed the nicest Tennessee velvet buck that I have seen since opening weekend in the Volunteer state.
This was Rebecca’s story on her Facebook page -
A buck of a LIFETIME! So so thankful and blessed. I prayed over this velvet hunt weekend since we got a picture of this stud. We called him the “Defendant” when we got him on cam last year. I hunted 11 different weekends morning and evenings last year with not even a single deer come out and this one staying nocturnal. This morning was THE morning! Blessed is such an understatement. My amazing husband and amazing friend Muscles helped out in ways I can never repay or thank them enough. I love the life I live with all the people in it!
The next day, when Rebecca and her husband were reflecting upon the hunt, he told her she should write her favorite Bible verse and the letter “D” (for Defendant) on her bloody arrow. It reminds her of a great hunt and an even better God.
Here’s a picture of the arrow -
A safe space for hunters
This is a great time to appreciate this space where we can talk about bloody arrows and Bible verses and not worry about Facebook shutting us down.
Let’s take it one step further.
I’m looking at buying my oldest daughter a .223 for Kentucky’s youth season. My good friend, Jimmy Carroll, has offered to let us hunt on his farm that weekend, and she is ready to go.
Our friends at KY GUN CO has some great deals and I will be purchasing her new rifle through them, but I’m not sold on the .223. I’m not a gun expert, so I’m defaulting to you guys.
Someone suggest a 6.5 Creedmore, as well.
What do you think? I want something she can use for a while. She is 10-years-old, so we don’t need a caliber that is going to sit her back in my lap.
Let me know.
