Entries for September 2011

Some "Headline Hunter" blog readers may have heard about an illegal hunting case out of Kentucky that made national headlines last week due to the unusual sentence handed down by U.S. Magistrate Judge E. Robert Goebel

It’s no secret I’m a big proponent of getting kids excited about hunting. I take my own kids hunting whenever possible and promote youth involvement in the sport on this blog and other outlets as much as possible. In that spirit here’s a great story I’d like to share.
