Why I stay in the Explorers Club.
Hilarious true gun YouTube (HT Massad Ayoob):
Ugliest taxidermy I have ever seen.

Links
Got so many I may split them!
Peculiar links (scroll down) to a wonderful little film on Black Sea sparrow hawks in falconry-- for Turkish TV? High point is as he says throwing them overhand like baseballs at quail, but the "pubs" and characters are amazing-- must get there! Thanks to Paul for pointing me at the plethora of Turkish hawking YouTubes-- there are many more...
Lewis and Clark's air rifle video. I had known it was a big game gun, but I had not known it was an effective and deadly REPEATER-- the only one in North America at the time, perhaps? No wonder it impressed the tribes!
Friend and Wisconsin Poet Laureate Marilyn Taylor had a poem read and presented on Ted Kooser's American Life in Poetry Monday-- make sure you select the 28th for what I told her was her "hilarious and unnerving" poem. And check her out at Amazon-- I may also have to blog her poem about an old midwestern gal in Paris who takes no prisoners...
Reid sent this good piece on Mike Tyson and pigeons. Considering things like anti- pigeon legislation in Albuquerque perhaps Tyson's new pigeon TV series will give us a shot in the arm...
From emeritus scientist and modern day paleo- hunter Val Geist: bushmen run off a pride of lions from their kill--!! .
Karen Myers sends a link to National Geographic's excellent article and update on fox domestication in Siberia, a subject dear to my heart.
But domestication can become perverted. Micaela Lehtonen in Finland (from our Asia Group) found this horrifying photo: the noble Arabian horse twisted into My Little Pony by a disgusting application of selective breeding--! I suspect Darwin, an English countryman, would have been fascinated but not pleased. Chantal, another member, added: "...the Arabian horse is a barbie horse now days all about glitz and glamour. I was at a horse show recently and noticed they now wax or shave bald above the eyes so the gloss stands out more."
From Annie Davidson: meat- eating furniture. Really.
Kazakh eagle music. Libby and I have hunted that very hill with the late hunter Manai, and chased a fox down the left (south) side. The valley ahead is the "highway" to Ulan Bataar 600 plus miles away to the east, full of camel bones and old mufflers. I'll add a few nostalgic photos.
Both landscapes show a view west over the highway though the snowy one is from high in the hills. As I said, nostalgia-- I can only hope I will still return...
