Safe and Fun Hog Hunting Takes Mindful Preparation

Feb 19, 2012 Author admin

Understanding the nature of hogs is crucial if you are going to succeed at hog hunting plus have some fun. You need to realize that there are some serious inherent dangers that come with this sport. And unlike football or basketball, there is no referee to blow a whistle and stop any commotion. If you find yourself in a jam, usually, the only way out is for you to put the aggressive animal down. You have to because of the nature and temperament of hogs. They will instinctively go on the attack if they feel encroached upon. Whats worse is, if a hog gets a jump on you and then charges at you in the middle of a forest, do you have a game plan in place to put that type of threat down before you are physically harmed, maimed or potentially killed? This boils down to understanding the type of animal you are hunting. It is never wise to go hunting ill-advised about any wild animal.

I Wore the Wrong Watch

Feb 17, 2012 Author admin

I wore the wrong watch to the golf course. I had an early morning tee time, not enough coffee and was rushing to leave the house this morning. In the slight chaos, I put on the wrong watch. Ok, I can hear you saying, big deal. Well, it is when you are lucky enough to have a Garmin Golf Watch. Now before I had this watch, I had the choice of a wearing a couple of different watches but neither would help me out on the golf course.

Imagine this. You walk up to the 378 yard par 4 and hit the ball about 230 yards off the tee. You’ve walked past the white marker and envision that you have about 148 yards to the green. Except you pull out your golf watch which comes loaded with 14,000 golf courses and realize that you really only have 138 yards to the front of the green. Do you think this 10 yard difference would determine a change in clubs? I do and that is why the Garmin Golf Watch helps me out on the golf course.

Navigating Lake Michigan in the Dark

Feb 15, 2012 Author admin

Over the last few years I have seen multiple boats run into the pier-head at Ludington in Michigan. This is obviously a dangerous situation and the outcome is never good. The boat ends up stuck on the pier-head and the hull is most assuredly ruined. How does something like this actually happen? As a Lansing DUI lawyer, I assume that drinking was involved. However, it is more likely a combination of drinking and poor navigation in the dark. Most boats that are on Lake Michigan at night utilize some sort of global positioning system. You need to make sure you make a way-point for the pier-head so you know the way home, but you also should make this way-point at least half a mile away. I have a feeling many captains punch this way-point into their auto-pilot and just head home. Unfortunately if you are far south or north of the pier, you could find yourself colliding with a huge cement wall at full speed.

A New Pair of Aluminum Snowshoes

Feb 4, 2012 Author admin

Most snowshoes are made with a combination of aluminum frame and nylon deck material, which gives the classic snowshoe look. But there are also plastic snowshoes out, which do not have the classic look, but are typically cheaper and less heavy than the other aluminum snowshoes. But still, the aluminum and nylon does have a few good things going for it.

But if you are looking to buy a new pair of snowshoes you need to be looking at a few things besides what material is being used in their construction. For instance, you will likely want to look closely at the maximum weight capacity of the snowshoes. If you weigh more than the snowshoes can handle, you will end up sinking in to the snow, rather than staying on top of it.

You also want to consider what you will be using your snowshoes for, as there are running snowshoes, hiking snowshoes and backcountry snowshoes.

Are You at Risk of Knee Tendonitis?

Feb 4, 2012 Author admin

Knee tendonitis is one condition that athletes do not like. It causes discomfort and pain while one is running or even jumping. This means that if you are a basketball player, footballer, runner, tennis player or even snow skier you will not want to endure the pain that comes along with knee tendonitis. Knee tendonitis is associated with pain, tenderness and stiffness near the joint at the knee and is aggravated by movement. When moved or touched, let me just say that it is one painful feeling. This is because the tendons at the knee are usually inflamed.

The main thing that I want to talk about is if you are actually at risk. As the human body ages the tendons become brittle and this in turn puts older people at much higher risk of developing knee tendonitis. It is very common in middle age runners, for sure if you are involved in a lot of sharp movements, repeated knee strain or uneven surfaces you are risk averse of having knee tendonitis. Now you know what to expect.

There are many basketball drills to improve your players’ attributes. The one we will introduce today will help youth basketball players improve their ball control skills. This is especially helpful to teach players quickness and keeping his or her head up while dribbling. To start this drill, place five cones, in a straight line, about ten feet apart.

Remember, always remind the player keep his or her head up and work on a quick dribble hand transition. The player will continue to dribble around each cone performing a crossover dribble at each cone. The player will then circle around and go to the end of the line, ready to continue the drill. Once a player has mastered this dribbling drill, a player can take it to the next level by performing a spin move at each cone.

The importance to this drill is to teach good ball control, however, it also allows a player to work on quickness and improving court vision. This drill his highly regarded by many college and NBA coaches who use this drill to teach their players ball control.

Phil Davis is Going to Defeat Rashad Evans on UFC on FOX 2

Jan 22, 2012 Author admin

We are only one week away from the UFC on FOX 2 event. This is the second mixed martial arts event hosted by USC on television. The main event of the evening is the light heavyweight fight between Phil Davis and Rashad Evans. After watching the Evans VS Davis fight video, you will be able to share your thoughts on the fight. Today however, I’m going to predict this fight myself.

why do I think that Phil Davis is going to win? Well, this is very simple: I don’t think that Rashad Evans will be able to defend against his takedown attempts.

Don’t get me wrong, Rashad Evans is a great striker, and he’s even able to knock Phil Davis out with one punch. However, Phil Davis is probably one of the best wrestlers in the light heavyweight division today (with Jon Jones).

In the end, it will all come down to this: Rashad Evans will have to be very aggressive from the very start. If he manages to keep Phil Davis and shake him, he will definitely win this fight.

Rugby Trophies: Booby Prize

Jan 7, 2012 Author admin

I always like to add a bit of humour to the events I facilitate, so I usually add the best and funniest awards for the teams. Rugby may be a rough sport, but it usually involves players who know how to clown around without breaking the rules. I honestly believe that they bring life to the game and they deserve their own rugby trophies . I grew tired of seeing what regular trophy shops had so I started looking for trophies online. There were literally hundreds of rugby trophies to choose from so I had to narrow down my search and found myself in a good site. It had a Booby Prize which literally had a woman bent over with the rugby ball in between her legs waiting for the toss. I’m sure that not everyone can share this humour, but I know that the clown in the team would, and it’s something that you can actually live up to with pride.
