you will be around $10 on Barnes and Noble Not what I found, but as mentioned it may be worth extra $$. I thoroughly enjoyed More Readings From One Man's Wilderness, and now First Wilderness is on tap. I'm sure I will like it, but is a much shorter read. I'll check out North to Wolf Country, looks like I may need it soon.

I really enjoy Lynn Schooler and his writing style. He wrote "Walking Home" "Blue Bear" and the "Last Shot". Great books.
Two in the far North by Margaret Murrie is really enjoyable. She was married to Olaus Murrie and accompanied him throughout his life's studies of the Alaska wilderness in the middle of the last century. She was one tough cookie.

Not interested in using one. Dropped mine the second they came out with the queers on the beach TV commercial; made them take it back and a full refund on the stupid device and all books we ever purchased on it.

I have one and use it a bit. For histories and similar that have photos and especially maps, I prefer paper as it's easier to flip back and forth for reference.

I spend enough time staring at a screen all day that if I'm going to read a book, I'll read a book.

I understand flipping back and forth, but I just have many many books and I'm out of storage room. I probably need to sell them on Amazon. Might buy a couple more rifles.

I'll read it, but the book by/about Sam Keith is not what I was looking for, kind of like an autobiography, maybe it will get better.

Happens all of the time here in Texas with feral pigs. The only consolation is that other animals make quick work of any carcass left behind, and they actually need the meal more than the people pulling the trigger and leaving the meat behind. The worst is hearing "hunters" talk about intentionally gut shooting pigs. That type of thinking is for sociopaths, not hunters. They make me sick. While I agree that intentionally wounding an animal with the express purpose to cause pain and suffering is a detestable practice, the fact is that feral hogs in Texas have reached epidemic proportions - their population has exceeded 2.6 million in Texas alone. As I'm sure you're aware, they are environmental and agricultural pests and cause in excess of $59,000,000.00 in damages each year in Texas. Additionally, they carry disease such as swine brucellosis and pseudorabies, which can be easily transmitted to domestic pigs and they pose a threat to the pork industry. I have personally seen the damage they cause - rendering fields into cratered wastelands, digging up the roots of old growth oaks, wreaking havoc on crops and killing smaller animals. Simply put, they are the most destructive invasive species in the U.S. This is precisely the reason that Texas allows hunters to kill hogs year-round, without a license and without limits. Hogs can even be eradicated via helicopter in Texas. All of the hogs I have seen and/or killed have been nasty, malodorous, viscous, destructive and dangerous beasts and my efforts to reduce the population on a West Texas piece of property have been futile, as they multiply like rabbits. Feral Hogs in Texas are a huge problem and approximately 38 other states. About 2 months ago, I was driving to the ranch at night and a gigantic hog ran across the county road, right in front of my vehicle. It was the largest hog I've seen in a long time - easily in excess of 400 lbs. Luckily, I didn't run into it as the damage it would have done to my vehicle would have been extensive.

I figured most of us here, have seen the damage they do.
Still doesn't mean I"ll intentionally wound something.. I may wound it trying to kill it cleanly but I will never do it on purpose. Thats ridiculous.
Just about everyone thats rural in TX has seen their damage. No problem killing every one I see, just not gut shooting on purpose. Thats the realm of something blackheart here would do.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
