Deer Hunting Season is Open All Year
If you are like most deer hunters you think of deer hunting as a two-season affair, hunting and getting ready to hunt. For many people the hunting season only last a couple of months. The rest of the year is spent remembering the seasons past, dreaming/ planning what you are going to do when hunting begins, reading articles on deer hunting and talking to other deer hunters. As a wildlife biologist I spend a great deal of time in the bush during the off season. This is the time while doing my job of habitat management that I find next years stand sites and photo stations. Occasionally I will come upon a deer hunter in the woods in June, July and August. The heat, deer flies and mosquito’s are bad but here they are with an aerial photo or topo map in hand more than a mile from the nearest road. At first they are disappointed in seeing what they immediately perceive as the competition in “their woods”.
When they find out you’re a biologist they spread their map on the ground and begin interrogating you for every bit of information you have on the local habitat. Frequently they know as much or more about the local habitat then you do. They already know the bucks they see in summer months may be in a different piece of habitat come fall. If you ask them what they are looking for they give you a long list including old deer trails, doe concentrations, last years rubs, etc, etc. They also spend a lot of time looking at the ground. They also frequently are carrying trail cameras and some kind of attractant like C’mere Deer or dry molasses. When you ask them how successful they were in past years you never get a direct answer.
These people are serious deer hunters. Frequently they will ask for your card and you can expect a call at least once a year. I frequently learn much of what is happening on a piece of habitat and I trust their observations. Frequently they contact me at our Bruce Point Outdoors site to ask questions. I enjoy my contact with these deer hunters because they know the relationships between wildlife and their habitats and they have a genuine love of the outdoors. Deer season never ends for these devout hunters. It just goes from scouting to harvesting. Several of these woodsmen tell me the like the scouting season as much or more than the harvest season as they have the bush all to themselves. Get out and enjoy the deer season year around.

4 Stars Good Read
Very much an in depth look at the subject of ballistics, however technical it may be, it’s not a hard read. The author does a good job of discussing the matter in way not to leave the layman out in the dark. However, the mathematical sections would leave Einstein with a headache. The author suggests using a scientific calculator in these sections, but also suggests that you can skip over this part all together as well. It depends on how deep you want to get into the matter.
Deliverance
One of the key films of the 1970s, John Boorman’s Deliverance is a nightmarish adaptation of poet-novelist James Dickey’s book about various kinds of survival in modern America. The story concerns four Atlanta businessmen of various male stripe: Jon Voight’s character is a reflective, civilized fellow, Burt Reynolds plays a strapping hunter-gatherer in urban clothes, Ned Beatty is a sweaty, weak-willed boy-man, and Ronny Cox essays a spirited, neighborly type. Together they decide to answer the ancient call of men testing themselves against the elements and set out on a treacherous ride on the rapids of an Appalachian river. What they don’t understand until it is too late is that they have ventured into Dickey’s variation on the American underbelly, a wild, lawless, dangerous (and dangerously inbred) place isolated from the gloss of the late 20th century. In short order, the four men dig deep into their own suppressed primitiveness, defending themselves against armed cretins, facing the shock of real death on their carefully planned, death-defying adventure, and then squarely facing the suspicions of authority over their concealed actions. Boorman, a master teller of stories about individuals on peculiarly mythical journeys, does a terrifying and beautiful job of revealing the complexity of private and collective character–the way one can never be the same after glimpsing the sharp-clawed survivor in one’s soul. –Tom Keogh

5 Stars “Burt Reynold’s Best Cinema Effort”
“Deliverence” became a monster hit at the boxoffice when it was released in 1972, and it received four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. The film is about four businessmen who venture into the backwoods on a canoe expedition on the mighty Appalacian River. The men are prepared for the forces of this river, but are totally unprepared for the hell that creeps up on them: they encounter hillbilly type hicks who have no morals and who have no feeling for other human beings. The men go through absolute hell as they try to survive a nightmare they were not ready for. The Ned Beatty character suffers the most as he is raped by one of the neanderthals. “Deliverence” is one of those rare films that dramatizes male rape, a subject matter rarely covered today, and even more rarely covered in 1972.
Burt Reynold’s autobiography “My LIfe” has some interesting anecdotes on the making of the film,, as he covers how he got to do the movie and the troubles the actors faced while filming in dangerous locations.
This particular DVD is the Deluxe Anniversary Edition that came out in 2007 and is filled with amazing bonus material. There is commentary from director John Boorman, the theatrical trailer is included, a vintage featurette “The Dangerous World of Deliverence” is part of the set, and the crown jewel here is the remarkable documentary on the film, which is a four part retrospective with the film’s stars, and the disturbing rape scene is discussed.
The film also stars Jon Voight and Ronny Cox. Charles Chaplin of the Los Angeles Times calls “Deliverence” “an absolute first-rate piece of moviemaking”.
