Drag hunting (also spelled draghunting) is a form of hunting with hounds, and dates to the early 19th century. A pack of hounds (usually foxhounds or beagles) hunt a scent that has been laid (dragged) over a course with a defined beginning and end, before the day's hunting. The scent, usually a combination of aniseed oils and possibly animal meats or urine, is dragged along the terrain for distances usually of 10 or more miles.
Drag hunting emphasises the thrill of riding at speed in a natural environment, and tends to follow a relatively straightforward course, allowing for considerable speed, over well-marked obstacles designed or selected with the safety of horse and rider in mind.
A hunt is divided into "legs". Each leg is "scented" just prior to the huntsman casting the hounds, who find the scent and hunt it. At the end of a leg, the hounds are held in check while the next leg is scented. Some hunts have human runners carry the scent, some use a quad and drag a scented rag tied to a rope and some apply the scent to the hooves of a lead horse who will go on ahead.

Retired my long-time vintage sleeping bag - this has been in the family since at least the early 1970's. There were two of them that zipped togheter - but the other one is long gone. I used this as a kid camping with my parents in the 1970's, in my camper when I lived in Arizona, and as a padded car cover for the last fifteen years or so.
We are relieving ourselves of many things that are not part of what we are doinbg - and this - unfortunately - needed to find a good home./ It is currently destined for long term storage at Hamms Quarry outside Lawrence Kansas.
The H.126 was an English experimental aircraft designed and built by Hunting Aircraft in order to test the concept of blown flaps, or as they were known in Britain, "jet flaps". Only one aircraft was built, being flown in a series of one-hundred test flights at the Royal Aircraft Establishment's Aerodynamics Flight at RAE Bedford. It was then sent to the United States for wind tunnel testing by NASA, and eventually made its way to the museum at RAF Cosford.
The aircraft was designed purely for test purposes, and thus lacked features such as retractable landing gear. The shoulder-level wing featured a set of struts, not for support but in order to provide piping for the compressed air used in the blown flaps. The rear control surfaces consisted of a fairly small triangular T-tail, similar to the one on the Gloster Javelin. The fuselage was fairly simple, similar to the Hunting Jet Provost in layout, but with a smaller cockpit for a single pilot. The air intake for the single Bristol-Siddeley Orpheus engine was located in the extreme nose. The jet flap system consisted of a series of sixteen nozzles arranged along the trailing edge of the wing, which were fed about half of the engine's hot exhaust gases. A smaller amount, about 10%, was also fed into small nozzles on the wing tips to provide control thrust at low speeds. A similar system was later used on the Hawker Harrier for similar reasons. This left little power for forward thrust, and the aircraft was limited to low speeds, but the takeoff speed was a mere 32 mph (52 km/h), a speed most light aircraft would have trouble matching.

Nothing will get your adrenaline going faster than a classic Louisiana alligator hunt. Experience an up-close, adventurous-filled, wild Louisiana alligator hunt in the confines of a private, scenic, traditional Louisiana cypress lake.
The hunt, held only during the month of September, is an once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hosted by Bourbe Lake Hunting Club, the outfitters use alligator tags issued by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries to hunt these pre-historic reptiles. A total of four hunters will arrive on a Friday and depart on a Sunday. Non-hunting participants can be included on the hunt for an additional fee of $750 per person.
All meals, beverages, on-site over-night accommodations, tags, licenses, firearms, ammunition and guide tips are included in the price of the hunt. Prepare to be treated to some of the finest Cajun camp cooking Louisiana has ever served up! Expect to dine on grilled boudin, gulf seafood, crawfish specialties and, of course, wild alligator.
Each hunter will be given an opportunity to harvest one wild alligator. Since hunters are attempting to harvest wild alligators the hunt is not guaranteed. However, our trained staff will work extremely hard to put all of the hunters in perfect position to harvest wild gators. Any taxidermy and hide tanning services will be at the expense of the hunters. Any hunter born after 1969 must have their Hunter Safety certification number.
Alligator hunts are extremely limited. It is encouraged to act quickly if there is interest. A 50%, non-refundable, deposit will be required to book a hunt. We will be happy to answer any additional questions you have before booking a hunt. To contact us, call toll-free, at 888-837-2801 and our actual outfitting guide will gladly speak to you about any details of the hunt.

History from Wikipedia:
Construction started in 1859, but was set back as the tower was destroyed during the Civil War in 1862. Major George H. Elliot is credited with the 1860s development of what is known as the "segmented cast-iron" light house design. In the United States, two were constructed: the Hunting Island Lighthouse and subsequently Florida's Cape Canaveral Light. Hunting Island’s Lighthouse was designed to be disassembled and moved if required. It consists of cast-iron sections, each weighing up to 1200 pounds which are bolted together to form the shell. the shell is lined with brick, which constitutes the main load-bearing structural element.
Erection commenced in 1873, and was completed in 1875. With its 167 steps that lead to an impressive observation deck, the Hunting Island Lighthouse has handsomely built cast and wrought iron staircase, railings and support beams that were fashioned by the Phoenix Iron Works company of Philadelphia. The Lighthouse was first located on the northern portion of Hunting Island, South Carolina, but severe beach erosion threatened the light station and its structures. By 1888 it was reported that the Atlantic Ocean’s high tide had reached within 35 feet of the keeper's house. As a result, the Lighthouse, the keeper's home and two other structures were relocated a mile away in 1889 to their present locale.
The book Blaze Orange - Whitetail Deer Hunting in Wisconsin is available on Amazon amzn.to/1nxZyoA www.blazeorangebook.com
Blaze Orange is a photographic coffee table book full of timeless images of the Whitetail Deer gun hunting season in Wisconsin. Wisconsin deer hunting is all about family. Families raise their children safely into the sport of hunting which is filled with traditions. Wisconsin’s Whitetail Deer gun season is 9 days long and requires hunters to wear Blaze Orange for safety. The season in closely monitored by the Wisconsin DNR. The DNR expects more than 600,000 hunters, about 10% of the state’s population, to take to the Wisconsin woods and fields next weekend. Wisconsin deer hunting runs deep with heritage for many Wisconsinites as the deer season here has an almost cult like following.
the shadows where moving around and there are sounds of dogs on a hunt.
It is a floor of a gallery with an exhibit of hunting stuff, guns, art etc...and it was to make you feel as though you were in the forest on the hunt.
Very surreal feeling. I didn't know if I got the shot until we were out side in the hall.
