Recently my symptoms had been worsening so my cardiologist ordered a second catheterization and this time they...

    Close Encounter

    The biggest reason coyotes are becoming so widespread is there adaptability. They can adapt to just about any habitat: from cold to hot, from desert to swamp, from wilderness to urban.

    Bow Hunting & Buck Fever

    I prefer a traditional recurve bow as well. For me that‘s part of the point of bow hunting. For many though it’s just a chance to hunt an extra season. @C_Claycomb I believe we‘re thinking alike on this one.
