“The Mountains” On Seeing Deer

“And I don’t see how you can ever bear to shoot them.”

“Don’t you?” said I. “Well; suppose you’ve been climbing a mountain late in the afternoon when the sun is on the other side of it. It is a mountain of big boulders, loose little stones, thorny bushes. The slightest misstep would send pebbles rattling, brush rustling; but you have gone all the way without making that misstep. This is quite a feat. It means that you’ve known all about every footstep you’ve taken. That would be business enough for most people, wouldn’t it? But in addition you’ve managed to see everything on that side of the mountain – especially patches of brown. You’ve seen lots of patches of brown, and you’ve examined each one of them. Read more

Gunn’s Sports Shop, Brewer Maine

When you think “good value for the money” you may think Walmart or some other monopolized store. But if you actually think about the sale, service, and accessories, then you should seriously consider Gunn’s Sports Shop at 52 Green Point Road in Brewer, Maine. 207-989-9838; www.gunnshockey.com

This six to seven very friendly and knowledgeable staff that work with owner Rick Gunn and his thirty-one years of hockey equipment experience will leave you and your family with a sense of ease, and your best interest in mind. Gunn’s Sport Shop specializes in not just hockey but in all aspects of the game, with a wide range of equipment from beginner to advanced. His staff will work with your budget, needs, and they like to get you and your family on their way to building a hockey enthused atmosphere. Gunn’s also shapes stick blades to repairing eyelets on your skates and everything in between.

The equipment in hockey is not cheap but as the owner told me that his $40 skate is a better quality than other stores $60 skate. He also gives you a free sharpening of your new skates and also gives 25% off the complete six piece package of new hockey equipment for kids. If you don’t want to spend or don’t have much money, Gunn’s Sports Shop also carries used skates and equipment.

If hockey is not your sport but being outdoors is then Gunn’s carries and services a wide variety of skateboards, rollerblades, and baseball needs as far as gloves and baseball bats by Easton, and TPX. He also carries riding helmets and clothing to make the most novice outdoor sports person at least look good. Gunn’s carries all sizes from youth all the way up to bigfoot but in my mind the thing I like the most about Gunn’s is that no matter how much money you have or what your needs are for you or your family’s hockey or other outdoor sports needs Rick and his staff will help you complete the hat trick. (Value, trust, and service) For great quality and really great prices head on down or call Gunn’s Sports Shop and at least take a look around and tell them Skinny Moose sent you!

GMS® Partners with Tex-Star Wildlife Services

WACO, Texas — Designers of the No. 1 Tool in Game Management — GMS® is proud to announce it has partnered with Tex-Star Wildlife Services to offer full-service wildlife consultant services to its customers. As part of the all-new service, Tex-Star will provide hands-on guidance and instruction for large and small hunting operations as well as breeder operations to optimize the wildlife and habitat potential of customers’ properties.

“Our GMS technology is a tremendous tool in successful game management, but we want to also make sure our customers have the benefit of experience and knowledge which can help them achieve the best results for their wildlife program,” says Mike Owens, co-owner of GMS. “A lot of property owners or ranch managers have an idea of what they want, but they need guidance on how to get from Point A to Point B. Tex-Star can give them the guidance they need.”

Through GMS, the Tex-Star wildlife consultant services include: micro- and macro-game management, livestock and habitat management, watering facilities, supplemental feeding, record keeping, budgets, census-keeping, predator control, food plot management, fence layout and construction, harvest recommendations, brush management, land acquisition and many more.

“Some ranch owners’ goals may be easy to achieve, while others may be unrealistic given the habitat or other factors,” says Joe Guidry, co-owner of Tex-Star Wildlife Services and a wildlife management professional with 15 years of experience. “Either way, we work closely with each landowner to ensure that all their wants and needs are addressed whether it be macro-managing for general wildlife populations or micro- managing for specific goals such as trophy whitetails.”

GMS is no stranger to wildlife management. The GMS software has been endorsed by some of the largest game ranches in the country, and is considered by most industry experts to be the most complete, yet ‘easy to use’ game management software on the market today. GMS helps hunting operations and land owners manage properties, whose focus is on quality deer and game management (including deer farmers/breeders), organize and maintain all of the pertinent information needed to manage a successful ranch. Innovative and comprehensive, the GMS program allows users to begin quality deer management, track all aspects of a hunting property, develop plans to help maximize herd health, quantify herd ratios, compositions and age structures, develop a wildlife management plan, schedule hunts, record information in the field via Pocket PC technology and much more.

“Efficiency in game management is the key to success,” adds Owens, “and — whether it’s with our GMS software or through 20-plus years of wildlife management experience — we want to help ranch owners reach their goals efficiently and cost-effectively.”
