    Minolta Activa D WP XL binoculars

I think they are better than Pentax DCF WPs and as far as I can tell every bit as good as the Leicas I...

    Killing Machines - Wolves

    Each wolf is responsible for the demise and hopefully consumption of 1.5 deer per month. The pack where I hunt was 5 animals 4 years ago. There could be as many as 8 wolves now, maybe more. A pack of 8 animals will kill around 144 deer a year. The deer management unit I hunt is supposed to...
