Tailgate in Style… with Camouflage Cornhole Boards

Filed Under : 1, Cornhole Games, Outdoors, Hunting, Surfing, hunting by Administrator

May.10,2010

What is Cornhole you ask?
Cornhole is one of the fastest growing games sweeping across America. Originating in Cincinnati, Ohio, this game is currently one of the most popular tailgating games around. It’s like horse shoes with corn filled canvas bags and target boxes. It is fantastic family fun and is a very addictive game you will not want to stop playing once you start.
Cornhole boxes have a surface area of 2-feet by 4-feet, and they gradually slope upward so the rear is several inches taller than the front. A 6 inch opening is situated close to the back. The goal is to toss 6-inch square cornbags, filled with authentic corn kernels, toward the hole at a lengthy distance.
Teams of two compete with four beanbags per person and two total boards. First team to 21 points wins. A hole-in-one counts as three points, and every other beanbag that lands on the board counts as one point. Players can cancel opponents point values by earning the same amount of points in a single turn.
Once you play, you can’t stop!

Turkey Hunting Season in North Carolina

Filed Under : 1 by Administrator

Jan.13,2010

WILD TURKEY
WILD TURKEY SEASONS
Daily limit 1; Possession limit 2
Annual limit 2

Youth Day (male or bearded turkey only): April 3, 2010
Turkey hunting by youth on this day is allowed statewide, but some
game lands will require a permit. See Game Lands section. Each
youth hunting during this season must be accompanied by a
properly licensed adult at least 21 years of age (“Youth” means
a person less than 16 years of age). The adult may accompany
only one youth during any particular hunt, and only one
weapon is allowed per youth hunter. Each youth must have a
“Big Game Harvest Report Card for License-Exempt Hunters”
and report harvests according to instructions in this Digest.
Restrictions It is unlawful to:
* Use dogs during the spring wild turkey season.

*Riffles or muzzleloading rifles to hunt wild turkey.
* Possess live wild turkeys or live birds that are indistinguishable
from wild turkeys.
* Take wild turkeys from an area in which bait has been placed.
(An area is considered baited until 10 days after the bait has
been consumed or otherwise removed.)
* Wild turkeys and deer harvested during the Urban Archery
Season can only be registered by using either the toll-free big
game reporting system or by using the Internet.

POPULATION: 150,000 2009 HARVEST: 12,677

STATEWIDE SEASON DATES: April 10-May 8

POACHER HOTLINE: (800) 662-7137 Tar Heel hunters set a record turkey harvest during the 2009 spring season, and biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are expecting another high harvest during the 2010 season. Although summer brood surveys have indicated only fair productivity the past three years, productivity in 2008 and the 2009 spring season jake harvest were both up over previous years. That means hunters in some areas of the state may encounter more 2-year-old birds (the age class that tends to gobble most frequently) during the 2010 spring season.

North Carolina has 2 million acres of public hunting land in the NCWRC’s Game Land Program. There are permit hunt opportunities on a number of game lands, including several youth hunts. See the NCWRC’s publication titled Permit Hunting Opportunities in North Carolina for additional information on permit hunts. Turkey hunting on most other game lands is allowed without a special hunt permit, but special regulations apply on some game lands. Refer to the NCWRC’s Regulations Digest for more information on hunting game lands. Go to the state agency’s Web site to view these publications and for additional information on hunting in North Carolina. — Brian Zielinski

What Does a Wild Turkey Look Like?

Size:

The wild turkey is the largest of North America’s game birds.
Adult males, known as toms or gobblers, normally weigh between 16 and 24 pounds.
Females, known as hens, are smaller than males and usually weigh between 8 and 10 pounds.
The largest wild turkey on record weighed 37 pounds.

Feathers:

Males: Gobblers have iridescent red, green, copper, bronze and gold feathers. They use these bright colors to great advantage when attracting females during breeding season.
Females: Hens have drab, usually brown or gray feathers. They make great camouflage and hide hens when they sit on their nests.
Color Phases: A few wild turkeys grow unusually colored feathers. These are known as color phases. There are four color phases, a smokey gray color phase, a melanistic color phase (all black), an erythritic color phase (reddish coloration) and an albino color phase (very rare).

Head:

Males: Males have brightly colored, nearly featherless heads. During breeding season the color of their heads alternates between red, white and blue, often changing in a few seconds.
Hens: A hen’s head is gray-blue and has some small feathers for camouflage.
Caruncles and Snoods: Both males and females have fleshy growths on their heads known as caruncles. They also both have snoods, fleshy protrubances that hang over their bills and can be extended or contracted at will. The snood of an adult male is usually much larger than that of a female. No one knows for sure what these growths are for, but both probably developed as ways to attract mates.

Beard:

A male turkey grows a cluster of long, hairlike feathers from the center of its chest. This cluster is known as the turkey’s beard.
On adult males, these beards average about 9 inches long.
10 to 20 percent of hens also grow beards.
The longest beard on record is more than 18 inches long.

Legs:

Wild turkey legs are reddish-orange.
They have four toes on each foot.
Male wild turkeys grow large spurs on the backs of their lower legs. These spurs are pointed, bony spikes and are used for defense and to establish dominance.
Spurs can grow up to 2 inches in length. The longest spurs on record are 2.25 inches long.

Tail:

Wild turkey tails are usually 12 to 15 inches long and are banded at their tips. The color of the bands in the tail varies by subspecies.
Male wild turkeys fan their tails when displaying to attract a mate.
You can usually tell the difference between an adult male (a tom) and a juvenile male (a jake) turkey by looking at a turkey’s tail. All tail feathers of adult males are the same length. The feathers forming the center of a jake’s tail are usually longer than the rest of the feathers in the tail.

Just a Swingin'

Filed Under : 1 by wendy

Oct.7,2009

Wendy asked if I would do a guest post for her about her sons first deer he recently took thinking my post would show a little more humor then a post she might write because I write about humor. After reading the story and seeing the photos, I’m not so sure I’m the best person to write about this. I don’t hunt and have never seen anyone hoist a deer up in a tree or swing set for that matter. But I’m going to do my best.

Wendy’s son Holden got his first deer (cow horn buck) weighing 205lbs. I can only imagine how proud a Father would be at this moment. His son with his first deer and the excitement of what comes after. Aww the sweet lessons a Father will pass on to his son. Hoisting that baby up in a swing set to get it cleaned.

You can just feel the excitement and confidence on Holden’s face…This is a piece of cake.

Maybe this might be a little harder then I thought. Get the gloves and more muscle.

One slip of my foot and that girl will be air born.

Aww look at little blondie with folded arms giving instructions. She is my kind of girl. And she’s wearing pink. Luv her.

You know when you’re a kid and your parents tell you to stop laughing but that makes you laugh even harder? This is no laughing matter. Get that deer up.

And no job is complete without the help of these two little buddies.

And would you look at this…I think they finally got it. All that strength, sweat and rope burns has paid off.

Wendy had this to say about that night, “That night turned into a anatomy lesson for all the young ones sitting around watching. Questions were asked – What is that, where is the heart, do I have those parts too? Not once did we hear ewww gross. That night was a test of strength, wits, and funny moments! I thought I would bust a gut just watching them.”

Congratulations to Holden on his first deer and I can say this without a doubt, I would have been standing there with my arms folded in my pink top saying EWWW.

*** I would like to thank Jody from The Hunter’s Wife for being my guest post this week! Jody did a great job with one of our many funny family moments!
