Ancient Hunting Dance captured on Video

Through the ages, hunters have gathered together in dance to bring good fortune from the Gods to their hunts. Among hunting clans, the deer hunters are nearly all great dancers, imitating every animal they know, and dancing out their own legends.

The deer hunters will gather in groups of several men to engage in a circle dance, which has no obvious explanation other than the pleasure of the motion. The hero or "Stag" of the group will typically wear a traditional headpiece which has been fashioned as a replica of their prey.

These groups have been reported "in a band of from twelve to twenty hunters, trotting and spinning quite rapidly, with occasional awkward plunges, in a circle perhaps thirty feet in diameter. Rare footage of this dance was recently caputed by a local Minnesota DNR officer.

Animals that are better than People

I was surfing the Web last night when I came across this hilarious video discussing which animals are better than people. As a hunter, I continuously analyze my prey. I was relieved to learn that the mighty Whitetail Deer didn't make the list of animals that are better than people. Deer remain safely on the list of Animals that taste better than People.

I hope you enjoy the video

Support Global Warming Solutions

Global Warming has hypothetically placed humanity on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

I understand that Global Warming is a growing problem, but I live in Minnesota and we have had two major snow storms in 7 days. The latest storm dropped as much as 17 inches of snow in parts of the Twin Cities. In northern Minnesota, Finland got a reported 25 inches and Duluth got 18 inches.

Here was my personal wake up call this morning



I found it rather ironic when I finally made it to work this morning and sitting in my inbox was an email from the Minnesotans for Global Warming Solutions. I actually laughed out loud as I read their email discussing rising temperatures as the melting snow soaked through my boot and pants.

Consider This:

The morning News had reported that more than 350 schools and school districts reported class cancellations Friday. At the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, operations were "pretty much back to normal" by about 9:30 a.m. Friday, a day after 400 flights were canceled. The entire area was a complete mess.

Considering all the current weather conditions, I think the Minnesotans for Global Warming Solutions marketing effort might be met with a lot of laughs.

A Deer Hunting Beard Histology

Deer Hunting enthusiasts are familiar with the phrase Deer Beard, but does anyone really know what the heck they are or why hunters insist on growing them?

Who are the DeerBeards?
DeerBeards are the beards grown by otherwise cleanly shaved men, solely for the hunting season. Hunting season is that fabled time of year when man and beast unite and husbands return to being Men. Men of the woods, Men who eat jerky, cold chili and say things like “If it's Brown, It's Down” and “If growing a beards wrong, I don't want to be right."

The main purpose of a Deer Beard is to provide warmth and protection for the hunter. Secondly, a beard directly connects the hunter to their primal roots. Since the dawn of time hunters have grown beards. This unwritten rule is known by all men and the beard of a hunter is not to be taken lightly.

Another benefit of growing a DeerBeard is that upon reaching day 5, any man can enter a suburban outfitters and feel right at home with the other ruggeds. Once timid, he can now confidently shop for blaze orange, discuss various types of doe urine and refer to everyone of his bearded com padres as “Buddy”.

A Deerbeard is the membership card into the club of men.

It says, “I take my coffee black, change my own oil and can a drop a deer from 200 yards”.
