  3. So far my most favorite article is the 74th. It tells you about a sort of very small worm like creature that you can find just about anywhere. It is called the Tiger Beetle larva just about all fish will go crazy for them, but they happen to be very hard to find and catch because the holes they live in are about as wide as a pencil. It also says that if you get them on your skin they will shoot little spikes into you and it will feel like you have fiberglass in your skin, it lasts for weeks.

  4. There are quite a few stories but most of the articles are sort of how to sort of things.
    Personally I have found many very interesting and informative articles and i would recommend it to anybody that is interested with outdoors activities especially hunting and or fishing.

  5. I just recently passed across a interesting article about the largest rainbow trout caught on a eight pond test line in Alaska. It was talking about how long it took to fight it out of energy from what I remember it took them about two hours to pull it out of the water.

  6. So you obviously like this book. Have you found any useful information in this book, for example how to survive in a winter environment or how to catch a 100 Lb fish on an 8 Lb test. Have you tried any of these tips or tricks to see if they work.

  8. Recently I read a very tasty looking recipe Stuffed venison back straps. It is a piece of Italian dressing marinated back strap stuffed with a sun-dried tomato and caramelized onion cream cheese, and then wrapped with bacon and grilled.

  9. This is a very good book if you like the great outdoors. If you do i would recommend it.
    I just read through a yummy sounding article on how to make the perfect juicy burger. The secret is a five to one mix of meats five lbs of your favorite game meat and one of a more fatty meat such as pork which what it says makes the best burger you will ever have.
