YouTube Video of the Week - World's Largest Snake Found Dead

I missed posting the YouTube Video of the Week last Tuesday. Blame it on work, hunting, or the Health Care Bill, but I feel I let you down. Sure, some of you may not realize I bring you this feature and couldn't care less, but for those of you whose week was a little grayer, I apologize.

But I am going to make it up to you and promise to never be so cruel to my readers again.

YouTube Video of the Week - Coyote Close Call

Have just an awesome video for you this week courtesy of WhiteTailAddicT at USA Hunting Pros. Silly coyote!

Sometime soon, too, I plan to get off my lazy behind and do some actual writing.

Until then, enjoy.

YouTube Video of the Week - Christian the Lion

I am selling out big time this week. My Three-Legged Bear post is still bringing in heavy traffic from all over the globe as well as scorn from anti-hunters. Don't judge me! People love this sappy stuff.

I chose this particular video for a few reasons beyond commercialism. One, this could be the first time something positive has been referenced in a hunting/outdoors blog that came from The View. Besides Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I like trying new things.

Two, Carolyn and every other woman who's watched this clip has absolutely balled. Guy or girl, it'll tug on your heart strings. Not mine, though.

Three, after the tragic February 24th orca attack a few miles to my east, I wanted to keep a torch lit for those of you out there who believe interacting with large, aggressive predators is a sane idea. (It may be too soon for that joke.)

So, without further ado, here's Barbara Walters. Get your hankies.

YouTube Video of the Week - Spring Snow Geese

Turkey and hog hunting aren't the only events in the Spring. Other outdoorspeople will be in pursuit of black bear and geese when their seasons open across the country.

Today we'll look at a Spring snow goose hunting video. As you can tell, there are no shortage of snow geese. In fact, this season was established to knock back goose numbers to prevent them from eating their summer tundra habitat out of house and home. I think that's what I've read.

Anyway, this hunt is on a short-list for me. Unplugged shotguns. Few, if any, limit restrictions. And just waterfowling, fun in itself. This video doesn't have a great number of "kill shots", but I like it anyhow. Enjoy!

YouTube Video of the Week - Help with Shooting Clays

I was going to dedicate this week's video to the wild hog. I kinda wanted to post a hog hunt, but last week I received just a frightening batch of hate e-mails from anti-hunters about topics such as three-legged bears and Johnny Weir. Weird. Not that these threats and disparaging comments really bother me, I just don't want to provoke them any further until I find out who they are and where they live.

Kidding. Kind of. Strangely, they were all named "Anonymous."

Then I thought about posting some cute clips about wild pigs. So, I YouTube-searched the words, wild, hogs, funny. Guess what came up? Clips for the John Travolta movie, Wild Hogs. I've seen it and was shocked that combination of words produced those results.

Then I realized I could use this platform for good and help others address the inadequacies harming their outdoor activities. Since I just came off a clay shoot this last weekend, I've posted a couple videos (Yes! Two! Man, I'm nice) to aid those of you, who like me, have difficulty killing flying inanimate objects no matter how hard you try.

The first guy is a little dry, but I like his system. The cutie in the second video addresses the approaches to success in different clay and trap shooting scenarios. Enjoy!!!

YouTube Video of the Week - Moron Shooting a Gun

I supposed I could do some Internet research and find out whether this guy broke bones in his face or not, but some mysteries I prefer to leave to the imagination.

YouTube Video of the Week - Charging Boar

Ha! I've had to watch this one a few times. The dog sounds pretty injured and the guy is lucky he wasn't chewed on, and he clearly missed the shot. This is why I tell people to stop screwing around and just kill the things. Big boar!
