After all, rats can survive a decade of bombardment by atomic bombs on Pacific atolls.

Outdoors: Wild turkey auction and banquet offers opportunity to support conservation
One of the great American conservation success stories is that of the wild turkey. From the 1940s to the mid-1960s, wild turkey populations were at an all-time low due to poaching and habitat loss. Only a few states, including Alabama, had sustainable populations. In 1973, the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), a national non-profit organization, was created to promote wildlife habitat conservation directed toward the wild turkey and preservation of the hunting heritage.
Outdoors: Hunters have one last push to complete their buck tag
At the end of every deer season there is one thing that deer hunters hate to eat — a tag sandwich. Unfilled buck tags leave a bitter taste among deer hunters. However, with the extended deer season in Alabama, deer hunters have two more days to finish out their tags. Bagging a late-season buck takes some extra effort. For the most part the rut is over in our area, except for south and southwest Alabama. However, there are still opportunities to fill out that last buck tag blank.

Outdoors: Using squirrel hunting tactics to keep your shooting skills sharp

Outdoors: Deer speak, understanding deer vocalization to fill a buck tag
Calling deer is much different than calling turkeys, ducks or other wildlife. Deer will usually not answer the call, but rather respond to it. The response can be positive or negative, depending on the mood of the deer. Hunters would obviously like a positive response and the deer approaching for a shot. There is more to calling deer than just tooting on a call. First, we must determine which deer we are calling. A buck in a field with a couple of does probably won’t respond to a buck grunt.

Waterfowl shooters will want to utilize the best choke tube to maximize their opportunity when in the duck blind. The choke in a shotgun is a constriction in the barrel usually a few inches from the muzzle. All shotguns have some type of constriction or choke.

Outdoors: Anglers should give artificial bugs and flies a try for bream
May is a magical month in the world of bream anglers. Many will circle the full moon date on their calendars and prepare their tackle.

Value can vary widely depending on which county the land parcel is located.

There are many different types of seed varieties from peas, beans, clovers and other plants.

Outdoors: A simple lure can talk up a limit of bass under any conditions
At first glance the chatterbait appears like a spinnerbait with a bent blade and another missing. Also, known as a vibrating jig or bladed jig, the chatterbait can be fished from late winter through the autumn months. A small square piece of metal with trimmed corners attached to the front of a bass jig gives the lure its strong vibration. And that is one of the keys to attracting strikes from lurking bass. The vibrating action puts extra shimmy in the lures skirt.
Outdoors: National Wild Turkey Federation part of an American success story
From the 1920s through the early 1950s, the population of wild turkeys dwindled across the American landscape.

A couple of funny-shaped, shiny metal blades and a skirt to cover the naked end of the hook.

We as hunters sometimes miss. How is it possible with an animal as large as a deer to miss a shot? The excuses and factors can be many. And we are quick to shift the blame or try to give reason why we miss. With human nature it’s never easy to admit we missed the shot.
