"light switch" shot with a bow
i'm trying my bow at night for the first time this evening. i don't know a lot about trailing and the brush is thick where i hunt. what is the best shot placement for a "lights out" shot on a hog? i've heard they can still run a good ways if you hit heart/lungs with an arrow... any suggestions?
i typically use a slug out of my 12 gauge, so the concept of them running for a ways is new to me.

The only "lights out" shot whether with a bow or firearm is a CNS (central nervous system) shot, meaning: A shot to the brain or a shot that severs/injures the spine somewhere forward of the shoulders.
Making that happen with a bow is not an easy thing to do. I have shot many hogs with an arrow (archery is actually my first love), and have not had to track hogs very far (usually less than 75 yds. often WELL under that).
However....I share your concern if you are hunting where the cover is thick.
No one wants to track an animal into thick brush where you can't see...and can't run.
With GOOD shot placement (very tight behind the shoulder, preferably quartering away), you won't have far to go.... to find your pig. This assumes you have a SHARP broadhead AND get good penetration.
Ideally, you want an "exit" hole on hogs and one that is low on the body (if possible). Don't be surprised if there isn't a significant blood trail for quite a ways...before getting something you can more easily follow.
Entry and Exit holes tend to plug up with fat and tissue...or the hair itself will mat with blood before dripping off. Sometimes you'll get a "pumper"...but more often you will not.
Just be confident that IF you make a GOOD shot, your hog won't be very far away. Many folks simply shoot them too far back....then YES, the hog WILL go a long way and you might never recover it.
My advice is to stay away from expanding/mechanical broadheads with hogs.
Use something of rugged construction that penetrates well. My preference for hogs is a "cut on contact" type broadhead, but other types have been used successfully.
Take TWO good flashlights with you and note the last place you saw the hog.
If you need tips on tracking, just let us know...we are happy to help.
Good luck Sir,

thank you (additional details)
thank you for the advice. upon closer investigation, i've definitely ruled out a nervous system shot with the bow. it's so tempting, but the margin of error is just too large. i feel confident that i can get a broad side/quartered away double lung or heart shot. i'm shooting a big aluminum arrow (w/ noc light) housing a 100gr truefire fixed blade broadhead. my bow is at 55lbs and the shot will be under 20 yards from the ground (i'll be behind a fallen tree). attached is a photo of some of the hogs i've got coming to my feeder. they're not small. my vantage point is about 3 yards behind the camera so you get an idea of the shot i'd be taking. any additional advice is GREATLY appreciated. i follow your blog religiously and benefit from every post. thank you again for your time.

Sounds like a good set up. Only thing that could make it better would be if you were elevated a bit but what you propose should work fine.
If you can get shots like pictured below, then you are pretty much home free.
I dont know what your equipment set up is or how you intend to illuminate the pigs if they come in after dark or I could give you more specific tips. But some general tips when bow hunting are:
A. Make sure you are downwind.
B. Make sure you get CLEAN and as scent free as is possible.
C. Let the hogs feed for a minute or two until they settle down. When hogs first hit a bait site there is some amount of jockeying around, the whole thing is dynamic and changing.
D. Watch the hog you want to shoot for a few seconds. They have a sort of cadence to how they feed (I.E. some move constantly, others every few seconds).
Dont let your shot opportunity get stale. Usually when one has moved the best time to shoot is immediately after it has stopped (provided the angle is correct).
E. As close as you are going to be expect some reaction to the sound of your bow (if a compound). Hogs are fast and can duck quickly as they gather themselves to run, so aim at the lower 1/3 of the body.
F. If you are shooting a peep sight be sure you can see through it in low light conditions BEFORE you go afield.
G. After the hit, stay put and be quiet. It is not unheard of to have hogs return to a bait site 10-15 minutes later. So no celebratory whoops until youve gone to go find your animal, you might get a second shot opportunity.
One last thing. Make sure you know your yardages at various places about the bait site, things look different after dark.

For very low light to after dark settings, I use my bow that I have set up with a "No Peep" Sight eliminator. With plenty of light, I am more accurate with a fine peep. But anymore (I'm getting old) I just don't have the low light vision I once had. The "No Peep" really works well and if you shoot a rifle, you will find it is extremely easy to get used to. Only took me a few shots to fall into a good routine and direct my form. I use my thumb on my release hand right behind my ear in the same spot for an anchor point. Consistency is key in archery.
I also whole heartedly agree with Flint about the "it would be better if you were elevated some". That way you would be pretty much assured of a lower exit wound. Makes for a much quicker blood trail usually.
I haven't had the opportunity to test out those True Fire fixed blades but I have heard they are pretty good. I personally swear by G5 Montechs. They fly dead on with my field tips and create a VERY nice wound. They are also a one piece broadhead and being so, they hold up very well.

I have been asked to go on a hog hunt in a month or two. I don't expect the hunt to be very successful as I don't think anybody in the group has hog hunted before. (Yes, I am a little nervous about being in a field with 4 or 5 other newbies at night.) Still, I'd like to give myself as good a chance as possible. I've got a Dan Wesson 357 supermag and a Marlin 336 in 30-30 to use. I'll take both but figure my primary gun will be the 30-30. I understand to stay down wind, to stay quiet and to be aware of safety, especially of what is beyond the target. But how am I going to see the sights in the dark? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS. I figure my real goal of the hunt is to get in good with the farmer and quietly ask if I can come back alone or with my boy the following weekend.

Get you some of this stuff. http://siteglo.com/
I am assuming, of course since you said "sights", that you are using open sights on both firearms. That "paint" is pretty sporty for night use. I usually use it on my .44mag when I night hunt.

Thanks FF. I just ordered some. The 357 has a fiber optic front site on it but I have some blade sites I can put on it. The back site has a luminescent outline but I've never tried it in the dark. The Marlin has the factory sights.
I've never shot at night before (and it has been years since I've hunted). I think I'll start taking my unloaded guns out at night just to get use to siting in the dark. Assuming nobody gets hurt and nothing gets damaged, this should be fun.

I use my marlin 336 for night hog hunting all the time. I really like the 30-30 for hogging. I use a lighted bait site so I don't have any sighting problems. Just stay calm and take good shots and you will be fine.

do hogs ever make a gurgling/low growling sound over the course of several minutes while trotting through the woods?

The first time you hear that low guttural "growling" it can be quite unnerving...especially if it is in the dark and you are on the ground.

Hah, I have to laugh when I see folks use words like "Exterminate/Eradicate/Eliminate" in the same sentence with Feral Hogs (or Cockroaches for that matter).
Its just not possible under most circumstances.
But I get your meaning....(you'd be willing to pitch in).

I'd exterminate them if people paid me by the head. Or at least, i'd like to think I could ... (Insert daydream movie about myself playing a role as a lone special forces guy ala Predator / Rambo and my one man war on all things piggy.)
... But since I can't do that i'll keep coming back to this thread so people like Flint can keep me entertained and informed. Thumbs up fellas.

Alright, got the SOCOM sighted back in today.
My replacement scope arrived a couple of weeks ago and I installed a JP Adjustable Gas Block while waiting on it, just hadn't had time to sight in the rifle before now.
So we are back in the "Pig Business".
I've been ignoring some sign left by a lone boar that has been traveling through periodically, but I will turn my attentions to him now.
The 7mm-08 will kill anything we have out here....but I have to pick my shots, with the .458 I can shoot from any angle I please.

^^^^^^^^^^ True...and as you know... I am a big fan of the 7mm-08 and I have MANY more hog "kills" attributed to it than with the SOCOM (so far), but with the Big-Bore I am more comfortable shooting them at less than ideal angles and even get "doubles" sometimes when they line up.
It's tailor made for hogs.
Good luck on your hunt.

Just as an FYI. My buddies and I have a lease in hog heaven east Texas and we do are best every year after deer season to kill as many hogs as possible, but we still don't even make a dent in the population. Of course the biggest problem we face during deer season is the pigs coming in and eating all the corn off you feeders while your sitting in your stand before the deer get to it and we don't want to take a shot and scare off the deer that might be in the area waiting for the pigs to leave. What I have found that works for me is the remote feeder controls. For some reason where I'm at the pigs don't just come running in when the feeders go off but the deer sure do. So if the pigs show up while I'm sitting in the stand I just set it off and it scares the pigs off and the deer come running in.
Second the remote controls help to make sure your feeder is got corn in it and is working. Nothing suck more that getting in your stand and waiting 4 hours for the deer to show up just to find out that something isn't right with your feeder.

Just spotted 3 pigs and a piglet out in the open today along the road in Elberton, GA. Despite my urge for bacon I had continue on to a shooting match. Seemed kind of weird to me that the pigs were cruising along next to the road poking about below some trees.

I do not know if you would be interested, but I guarantee you could place in (if not win) this contest. I don't know if you are located too far South for the eligible counties.
I was hesistant to post this because I plan on participating. I figured getting rid of more of these buggers is a more beneficial.

Tables were piled with bunches of ruffled greens, herbs I had never seen before, packages of bright pink salted eggs, thick bundles of lemongrass, and many other vegetables that don't appear in Berkeley's farmers' market or even the massive vegetable section at Berkeley Bowl. When I saw some pale green ruffled leaves with tendrils, I immediately thought "snow pea shoots", and I got a little bit excited because they are so delicious. I bought a bunch, a bunch of okra greens, and a bunch of sweet potato leaves, all from a farm in Lodi (57 miles away). Over the next three posts, I'll explain some of the origin and uses of these unusual greens.
A surprise was in store for me. When I started washing the ruffled leaves (the "snow pea shoots"), I was surprised to come across a baby vegetable attached to the stalk. It was a thin, pale green gourd with a deeply wrinkled skin: a baby bitter melon. Uh oh.
Bitter Melon Greens
The bitter melon (Momordica charantia, also called bitter gourd) is popular across much of Asia. It also has some fans in the U.S.--the National Bitter Melon Council, for example, whose motto is "Better Living through Bitter Melon." According to their web site, the bitter melon has numerous beneficial medicinal properties, including stimulus of hypoglycemic activity (blood sugar lowering) and a possible anti-malarial effect (due to the high level of quinine).
Whoever named this vegetable is in absolutely no danger of a charge of false advertising. I have eaten it just twice before (once at home, and once at the New Pardes Bangladeshi restaurant in Los Angeles), and the memories of its bitterness are deeply ingrained in my mind. I don't think that I want to try it again.
But perhaps I'm being a bit hasty. I also have strong memories of my first taste of cilantro in 1986 in San Diego, and it was an unpleasant, soapy experience. These days, however, I enjoy a sprinkle in salsa or on a curry. I also used to be wary of chili-laden foods, but now I relish them. In Vegetables from Amaranth to Zucchini, Elizabeth Schneider writes
In 1982, when I wrote an article about New Mexican food, the test kitchen staff would hardly dare nibble the nasty hot peppers--now an American passion.So perhaps someday I will be a bitter melon booster.
Bitter melon, like chilli, has a distinct flavor profile and, like the chilli, it seems to create a craving. Once enjoyed (few people chomp Jalapeno happily on the first sampling), the craving is satisfied by nothing else--because nothing else resembles it.
Since the Wikipedia entry said that the leaves were "not particularly bitter," I decided to use some of my greens in a vegetable soup. In a soup pot, I sauteed diced carrots and onion together, then added some sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms. When the vegetables were cooked, I added a few cups of vegetable stock and a tablespoon or so of soy sauce. About 5 minutes before I was ready to eat, I dropped in two handfuls of the washed leaves. The dark green leaves were beautiful against the background of the broth and vegetable pieces, and I had high hopes for a great soup. But it was not to be. The bitterness of the soup was so intense that I could hardly eat more than a few spoonfuls.
Next up: okra greens. Just the leaves. None of the slime.

Hi All,
I noticed the BA465 from Madrid to LHR almost got canned on Sunday, the aircraft was a 757 (G-CPES I think) that seemed to have an issue when starting the r/h engine.
The engineering team arrived with a ladder and changed something that was situated inside the engine pylon (the side of the pylon which faces the aircraft body), a few mins later the engine was restarted and the aircraft departed.
Does anyone know the problem was? or what equipment may have been replaced within the pylons? Just to feed my interest !! (And to learn more)

Neighbours mourn 'super-friendly guy'
While out delivering Christmas cards, Hunter BROWN, 74, was killed in apparent random attack, leaving his Friends and family in shock
By Caroline ALPHONSO, Page A3
Kitchener, Ontario -- Hunter BROWN, 74, set out on a cold Saturday afternoon, all bundled up, on what had become his annual Christmas ritual of hand-delivering cards to his neighbours. Recipients would often discover a picture of his three grandchildren tucked inside their cards.
The affluent neighbourhood in Kitchener has a mix of young families and elderly couples who have lived there for decades. Christmas decorations were strung along front porches and spilled onto the front yards.
This year, however, Mr. BROWN didn't get very far in his Christmas-card delivery. He had just started to make his first drop-off when a man struck him with an "edged weapon" and left him to die in the next-door neighbour's driveway, police say. A pile of undelivered cards was found on the ground next to him. Doctors pronounced Mr. BROWN dead in hospital.
Police say the attack was unprovoked and are looking for a man in his 20s who fled the quiet neighbourhood on foot wearing a long black trench coat and a black tuque with red lines.
"It's a difficult case," said Staff Sergeant Adrian DARMON of the Waterloo Regional Police. "This is quite a close community."
Yellow tape surrounded the BROWN home and neighbouring houses yesterday as police scoured the area for clues.
Mr. BROWN and his wife, Beverley, lived in their two-storey home for more than 30 years. A Christmas tree was lit up in the front window last night. The killing of Mr. BROWN, a father of two, has shocked family and neighbours.
Mr. BROWN, a retired regional manager for Bell, was described as a man who loved his grandchildren, and rarely missed a hockey or football practice, or a musical recital. He spent his summers at the family cottage in Muskoka, and had often invited neighbours to vacation there.
He and his wife would have celebrated their 50th anniversary in March. The couple had just started taking lessons in ballroom dancing.
"Mom and Dad did everything together," Mr. BROWN's son, Mike, said yesterday. "He was elderly but in good health. We never expected Hunter BROWN to die this way. He was a nice man."
His sister, Sandra, added: "He was a gentle man. He just had so much left."
Neighbour Lois HOGG remembers Mr. BROWN singing Christmas carols at her home on December 8 when she and her husband invited the neighbourhood over for a holiday celebration.
"It was a happy experience and we were so glad they were here," Ms. HOGG said.
Matthew ENGELMANN, 24, who lives next door to the BROWNs, said his kitchen counter was filled yesterday with food dropped off by neighbours for the victim's family. Mr. ENGELMANN saw Mr. BROWN as a grandfather. He and his family would spend a few days at the BROWN cottage almost every summer.
"He was just a super-friendly guy. You couldn't leave your house and have Hunter see you and not say 'hello' or 'hi,' " he said.
The ENGELMANN family has known Mr. BROWN and his wife for 27 years. Mr. ENGELMANN's father, Dieter, said he was still in disbelief over what happened. Neighbours came out when they saw police cruisers and an ambulance.
"It's such a sad situation. Nothing warrants this. Nothing at all," he said. "This guy wouldn't hurt a fly."
Police said yesterday autopsy results weren't complete as yet, but they believe a weapon with some of kind of sharp edge was used in the attack.
Neighbours say it was unlikely that the attack was personally motivated.
Mark MEDENSKY, who took care of the BROWN home when the family went on vacation, said many on the street are looking for answers.
"He was sweet, quiet. He always had something nice to say about you. Everyone is just in shock. I'm angry about what happened."

War vet TOOGOOD always on the move
By Amanda ROBINSON, SUN MEDIA, Sun., August 19, 2007
William TOOGOOD was always on the move.
After lying about his age to enlist at 15, he was a motorcycle messenger during the Second World War, zipping around some of the bloodiest areas of Europe where Canadians fought.
In civilian life, the Saint Thomas man had at least half a dozen jobs, most spent behind a wheel.
He delivered milk and bread in an era when those goods were delivered to customers' homes.
He drove a taxi, worked on the railroad and was a travelling salesperson for such things as vacuums and industrial supplies.
About 1980, at 56, he revved up a new career selling cars, a tough time in the industry as fuel-stingy Japanese imports muscled into a North American market dominated by gas guzzlers.
"He did well -- a lot of people liked him," said his eldest son, Norman TOOGOOD of Saint Thomas.
He said his father prospered selling vehicles for Ford dealers, Fearn and Talbot, in Saint Thomas. "He was a pretty good-looking guy. He dressed well, and a lot of guys thought he was a straight shooter," his son said.
TOOGOOD, who had battled Alzheimer's for years, died of emphysema August 10 at London's Parkwood Hospital. He was 83.
Born in Saint Thomas in 1924, TOOGOOD was the son of a First World War veteran badly injured in the fighting, making it difficult for him to work.
The family, said Norman TOOGOOD, was "pretty destitute."
Enlisting in 1939 was probably his father's response to the grim economic times the Depression had brought, his son said.
"When he was young, he just wanted to earn money."
TOOGOOD joined the Elgin Regiment as a reservist. He was deployed the next year as a regular soldier, serving until 1946.
He rejoined the military in the Cold War, in 1954, served nearly 20 years and retired a sergeant.
His most harrowing experiences came during the Second World War.
"He never wanted to talk about it," his son said. "It came out later in the years that he rode a motorcycle, but he never talked about firing a gun."
TOOGOOD served in Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Messengers were often targets for snipers, the documents they carried valuable to enemies.
"In some cases, he was right on the front lines in enemy fire" taking messages from post to post, his son said. "He said one time in Sicily he was in an abandoned farmhouse that got shelled. I think there it was probably pretty scary."
TOOGOOD returned to Europe for the 50th-anniversary celebrations of D-Day. At home, he took part in many Remembrance Day ceremonies, sometimes serving as parade marshal in Saint Thomas.
Predeceased by his wife June, TOOGOOD is survived by three children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and four siblings.
"I'm very proud of the contributions that he made," said TOOGOOD's grand_son, Cory WHITEHEAD, 24. "I'm just going to miss spending time with him… he was really special to me."

This inexplicable film doesn't deserve to be reviewed, but I went and saw it because I was feeling momentarily melancholy and decided I needed to ruin my day.
This is another one of those movies that actually require you to play "spot the plot" while watching. First off, Dr. Alistair Pratt (Stephen Rea) is running a Web site called Feardotcom (which is at www.feardotcom.com, which means the movie ought to be called Feardotcomdotcom) which shows him actually killing people. Who is this guy's service provider anyway? Like, I've heard of inundating people with pop-up ads (ahem), but killing people probably violates some kind of service agreement. Additionally, nobody seems to report this thing, and no law enforcement agency seems to care about it.
Apparently, Dr. Pratt and Detective Mike Reilly (Stephen Dorff) have had a past run-in, though I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with anything and it certainly isn't necessary, other than to give Dorff an extra line or two ("yeah, we had a run-in a few years ago"). Reilly and Terry Houston (Natascha McElhone) discover Feardotcom after a few people turn up dead. Reilly is an actual cop. Terry is from some drug agency and they start working together only because Terry just won't go away. She actually tells Mike in the car that "I don't get out much," so he lets her work with him, realizing that the odds he's going to get laid have just risen dramatically. Meanwhile Reilly's "real" partner, Sykes (Jeffrey Combs) only has one name and saunters around the police station like he's trying to clear a chicken wing from his throat.
Despite finding out that people die within 48 hours of a visit to Feardotcom, both Reilly and Terry immediately visit it and get zapped with some kind of subliminal advertisement that makes them see a young, blond-headed girl bouncing a white ball. Oh, it also makes them die. Funny, I was watching the same thing they were watching and nothing happened to me. I figured that maybe, 48 seconds later, I might be dead. Sadly, it was not to be.

A Sioux War Chief and His Many Enemies
The Lakota Siouxwar chief Crazy Horse now lives in legend—as he did among his own people years before his death in 1877. He was the "strange man of the Oglalas," painting his body and horse in unorthodox patterns yet rarely fighting on horseback, preferring to dismount to take careful aim. Modern historians portray him as his own people did during the years of the late 1860s and early 1870s: as the leading war chief of the allied tribes of the Lakota, teamed with Sitting Bull, the leading political and spiritual chief. Yet when Crazy Horse met his end, he had become the most divisive figure among the various tribes that had surrendered at the close of the Great Sioux War of 1876-77.
This transformation took place in just four months, beginning with his surrender at Camp Robinson in northwest Nebraska in May 1877 and ending in early September with his fatal stabbing by a soldier. Swirling around the chief during the summer of 1877 were the rival Sioux of the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies (the forerunners of the modern reservations), Army officers, Indian agents (those authorized by the U.S. government to interact officially with the tribes) and the always influential community of mixed-bloods.
Thomas Powers's goal in "The Killing of Crazy Horse" is to make sense of the story of these four months. Yet not until chapter 21 (of 35) does he engage it seriously. He then tells in great detail a tortuous story: one rife with intrigue, rivalry, factionalism, jealousy and betrayal. Mr. Powers works through this maze with admirable insight into the motives and actions of the players, his narrative solidly grounded in original sources and extensive field work. Yet a reader will still have a hard time deciding who was to blame; the careful reader may conclude that everybody was guilty.
The Killing of Crazy Horse
By Thomas Powers
Alfred A. Knopf, 568 pages, $30
One villain was Gen. George Crook, a senior commander in the U.S. Army's campaign against the Sioux. He is generally looked on as a friend of the Indians—and he was, when it suited his purposes. But Crook, after the surrender, recognized Crazy Horse as a root cause of the factionalism sweeping the various bands and threatening renewed warfare. Crook wanted him out of the way. The general tried to send Crazy Horse east and keep him there; when that failed, Crook considered engineering his assassination. In the end, though, Crook was but one of many characters in this drama whose actions led to the bayoneting of the Lakota chief.
Mr. Powers is not writing a biography of his subject. The definitive job on that front was done by Kingsley Bray in 2006 with "Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life." Mr. Powers's treatment of the Indian chief and his fatal stabbing builds on Mr. Bray's decades of single-minded work. The bulk of "The Killing of Crazy Horse" is a sprawling history of the Sioux of the northern Great Plains (the Lakota), their culture and personalities, their relations with other tribes and with the encroaching white people. Crazy Horse periodically appears, just enough to establish his emergence as the principal war chief of the Lakota.
The author's approach is largely topical, full of digressions into marginally relevant themes that disrupt the narrative flow and scramble the chronology. While this was a deliberate choice—"My effort here has been to tell the story in a way that helps readers to experience its weight and quality," Mr. Powers says—it may prove confusing to the general reader. And Mr. Powers often stints on providing necessary context. The prime example is his description of the Army's 1876 campaign. He follows the northward thrust of Crook's column from Fort Fetterman on Wyoming's North Platte River to the Battle of the Rosebud in Montana on June 17. But no mention is made of the strategy that dispatched three columns to converge on the Sioux country, of which Crook's force was only one. Nor is the larger intent of Crook's offensive and the campaign of 1876 ever discussed.
Mr. Powers does relate the Battle of the Rosebud—a victory for Crazy Horse and his warriors—in accurate and lengthy detail. Curiously, though, Gen. George Custer's fall at the Little Bighorn only a week later appears to rate barely a mention, even though Crazy Horse played a more prominent leadership role in that encounter. But Mr. Powers has reserved the Custer fight for a chapter much later in the book, and the vital relationship between the Rosebud and Little Bighorn is disrupted—as the account of Little Bighorn itself disrupts the flow of the story of the run-up to Crazy Horse's death.
Still, when Little Bighorn comes, Mr. Powers's account of the battle is substantial, complete and more accurate than most of the hundreds that have been published since 1876. (It puts to shame the recent book by Nathaniel Philbrick, which despite many favorable reviews fails almost every test of accuracy.) Mr. Powers also chooses to treat Little Bighorn solely from the Indian point of view, which ignores the motives and intent of Custer and his subordinates. Their role is critical to a full understanding of Crazy Horse's fate.
Commendably, though, Mr. Powers makes the mixed-blood community a continuous thread in the book. They played a major role among both Indians and whites and often walked a narrow path of mediation. Indeed, the half-Sioux Billy Garnett's account of Crazy Horse's death seems to have been what spurred Mr. Powers's interest: "It was Garnett's frank and thoughtful tone that first caught my attention." The son of an Army officer at Fort Laramie—who died a Confederate general at Gettysburg—and a Sioux woman, Garnett surfaces repeatedly as an interpreter for the Army or Indian Bureau, as a player in the drama himself and as a witness of crucial events. He is on the scene from beginning to end.
While Mr. Powers may be faulted for the structure of his book, he cannot be faulted for the depth of his research both in documents and in the field—what can be termed our outdoor archives. He has worked out to his satisfaction what happened and where, and he has told the story in characteristically readable prose. Above all, a passionate commitment to the story and its characters is evident. They clearly mean a great deal to him.
Nearly all the great chiefs have good biographies, and Sioux culture is definitively treated in Royal B. Hassrick's "The Sioux: Life and Customs of a Warrior Society" (1988). John S. Gray's "Centennial Campaign" (1976) reliably narrates the Great Sioux War and is well supplemented by Jerome Greene's two volumes of contemporary accounts—both white and Indian—of the fighting. Even though confusingly organized for many readers, "The Killing of Crazy Horse" will stand the test of time and take its place on this select shelf of excellent books on the Sioux and their wars.
—Mr. Utley, former chief historian of the National Park Service, has written 16 books on western American history, including a biography of Sitting Bull. He is currently writing a biography of Geronimo.

WELLSBORO - The Tioga County commissioners unanimously approved implementation of the natural gas impact fee, which will impose a fee on Marcellus Shale deep wells, taking effect immediately, during their Tuesday meeting.
The fee will be based on the number of wells drilled in the county last year and the price of gas per 1,000 cubic feet harvested from those wells.
Roughly $6 million will be disbursed by the Public Utility Commission to the county by the end of the year for distribution to areas that have been impacted negatively by drilling, such as roads and housing.
The state first took 40 percent off the top to distribute among its agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Protection and others.
Commissioner Roger Bunn, though he voted for the fee, said he was "uncomfortable that we are getting money from companies for business they did in a prior year."
Commissioner Mark Hamilton said the implementation of the fee was "a really big deal for property tax payers and could have a significant impact on curbing tax increases in the future."
Hamilton noted there are 13 areas the funding can be used for, every one of them areas that have been identified as impacted areas by both county and local governments.
Hamilton said it would be the commissioners job to work with community groups "to understand the drawdown allotted to us and also the new grant funding that will be created."
"If we work together as a community, we will be able to get a lot more of those dollars," he added.
Commissioner Erick Coolidge said "there isn't a funding stream at any level that hasn't been challenged financially, not one," in the declining national economy.
"The impact fee allows all 67 counties in some way or another to enhance these shortfalls in revenues. We need to use what we have wisely. Without the impact fee, the number was zero," he said.
He reminded those in attendance again that the county "didn't plant it, didn't grow it and we aren't harvesting it - it is a gift."
In other business, the board:
Presented $26,990 in county marketing initiative grants funding from county bed tax money to the Nelson Volunteer Fire Department, Endless Mountain Music Festival: Wellsboro Community Concert Association, Mansfield Growers Market, Fabulous 1890s Weekend; Potter-Tioga County Maple Producers, Blossburg VIBE, Mill Cove Association, Second Chance Animal Sanctuary, Pennsylvania Grand Canyon Snowmobile Club and the Liberty Blockhouse Festival.
Approved $111,000 in liquid fuels funding for county aid to municipalities with the deadline to apply June 30, for funds to be disbursed Nov. 1.
Approved a five-year lease between the state Department of Transportation and the county Emergency Services Department for use of the Dutch Hill communications tower between May 6, 2012, and May 5, 2017, for $660 per year.
Heard from Sheriff Tom Young and Court Administrator Nancy Clemens there will be a lockdown drill at the courthouse March 30 in the afternoon for purposes of public safety.
Approved the use of the Green from 6 to 9 p.m. May 25 for an American Cancer Society Relay for Life mini-luminaria ceremony.
Approved a resolution making application for $232,655 in state Community and Economic Development Program funding to be invested back into various municipalities' programs and projects.
Announced the next board meeting will be an "on the road" meeting at the Bloss Township building March 29.

Jeb Corliss crashes into Table Mountain [Video]
Famed wingsuit flyer Jeb Corliss crashed into Table Mountain on the 16th January 2012. He was extremely lucky to have survived and has suffered multiple fractures. He also faces possible legal action from the City of Cape Town for performing the illegal stunt.
After watching this video it's clear why the City of Cape Town refuses to issue permits for this sort of thing as it's clearly insane!

CDS Meetings & Events
The phone is ringing and the e-mails are stacking up in my
inbox: "Do you know about this? What's the deal?"
The reason for all this alarm, or in some cases, wry amusement? A
play entitled "Dental Society
Midwinter Meeting," which debuted last week at the Chicago
Dramatists and was reviewed today in both the city's major
newspapers. Disclaimer: the play has no relationship to the Chicago
Dental Society or the society's annual Midwinter
Meeting.The play follows the behind-the-scenes
shenanigans of the North Shore Regional Dental Society as they get
together for their annual Midwinter Meeting. Romantic
entanglements, questionable professional ethics and scandal rule
the weekend.
The reviews so far have been mixed. Chicago Tribune critic
Chris Jones gives the show a
middling review, concluding "If everybody could dial the
over-the-top sketch-humor back and reacquaint themselves with more
prosaic dental realities, this show could find some gold under that
porcelain veneer."
But Sun-Times critic Hedy Weiss
raves in today's paper, "At each and every turn [playwright
Laura Jacqmin] hands us a sly surprise and searing insight. This is
a playwright who possesses a keen eye for character types (though
she always supplies unexpected traits), as well as a fine sense of
human cruelty and weakness, and idealism gone amok."
Several members have called to say they are buying tickets to see
the play, and a few staff confess to being curious enough to see it
too. Do you plan on going? Have you already seen it? Leave us a
comment and let us know you think.

VERNON — A 24-year-old man was killed after crashing into a utility pole over the weekend in Vernon, according to a report on NJHerald.com.
Michael Dougherty Jr. of Jefferson was pronounced dead at a local hospital after he drove off Canistear Road around 10 p.m. Saturday night.
Dougherty, who was wearing a helmet while riding his 2012 Harley Davidson, was found unconscious on a lawn. The motorcycle was in the roadway, the report said.
A dispatcher at the Vernon police department said no one was available today to provide further information.

Mid-week injury updates on George John, Stephen Keel and Walker Zimmerman
After center back George John didn't play in the second half of Saturday's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC, the big question was whether or not the FC Dallas defender had suffered a concussion in that draw with the Reds. But according to FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman, John does not have a concussion.
"He trained today," Hyndman said after training on a rainy Wednesday morning. "Just kept him out of head contact, so we used him as a neutral player. He seems to be fine. Yeah, he came through the tests. What we don't want to do is bang him up at all before we play this weekend."
But the news isn't quite so favorable concerning fellow center back Stephen Keel, who has missed the last few games with an injured quadriceps muscle.
"He didn't train today. He went through treatment. I would hope that within a week, maybe next week he could start training again. But he still has an injured muscle there," Hyndman said.
However, rookie center back Walker Zimmerman, FCD's top pick in the 2013 MLS Super Draft who has yet to train with the club due to a groin injury, did take a considerable step forward on Wednesday.
"[He] went through warm-up today. I think it's the first time he's gone through warm-up. And I was just watching him, he looks like there's some life in his legs," Hyndman said. "He's excited and we'll just have to continue to see how he's doing."

Fargo and North Dakota Airports Grow as Domestic Flying Shrinks
FARGO, N.D. ( TheStreet) -- Since the end of 2007, U.S. domestic airline capacity has shrunk by 8% and the number of domestic seats has shrunk by 11%. But don't tell the airports in North Dakota. They are growing, thanks to the state's strong economy.
In June, North Dakota's eight airports reported 93,664 boardings, their best June ever. Since June 2007, the number of departures from North Dakota has increased by 73%, reaching 554,673 for the first six months of 2013, according to the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission.
A week ago, Fargo's Hector International Airport, the state's largest airport, scored a coup when Delta
For many airports, Atlanta service is a given. This summer, Delta's Atlanta hub, the largest single-airline hub in the world, has 1,030 peak-day departures to 150 domestic destinations as well as 67 foreign destinations. (The hub offers non-stop flights to 46 states, all but Delaware, Idaho and the Dakotas). Fargo has been waiting.
"This (effort) started five years ago," said Shawn Dobberstein, executive director of Hector International. "Atlanta has been our No. 1 requested destination, because Delta passengers who traveled to the Caribbean, the Southeast, and Central or South America, for a cruise or vacation, couldn't get back here on Saturday" due to the lack of late-day connections. Delta's 43% market share is the biggest at the airport, reflecting the predominance of passengers who connect through the carrier's Minneapolis hub.
"The flight will be a test," Dobberstein said. "If it is successful, we hope it can lead to daily service."
In the first half of the year, Fargo reported 200,528 boardings, up 34% since 2007. That reflects not only the oil boom in the western part of North Dakota but also strength in Fargo's economy, particularly at agricultural equipment manufacturers Caterpillar
While the oil boom is in the western part of the state, the two biggest airports in Fargo and Grand Forks are in the eastern part. In the west, the number of Williston departures nearly tripled in June to 39,230, after Delta and United
In Fargo, one sign of the boom is that every day, a small plane flies in from Williston, bringing oil workers' clothing to be washed at a laundry with heavy duty washing machines, near the airport.
When Dobberstein arrived in in 1991, Fargo's airport had about 181,000 boardings annually on Northwest and United. In 1998, Northwest shut down for two weeks after locking out its pilots. At the time, Northwest had 92% of Fargo's traffic. "All we had left was three 30-seaters a day to Chicago," Dobberstein said. "That's when our community woke up and said, 'Let's work with the airport to see if we can make a difference.'" Business and civic leaders formed a task force to recruit carriers.

Son of anti-gay pastor Fred Phelps claims he abused family
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I would have been utterly shocked if some osrt of revelation like this hadn't come out. It happens to all the ranting homophobes in the end. If hell did exist there would be a special room reserved for him along with Stephen Green and Iris Robinson.
He looks like the guy from poltergeist 2.
All the anti gay people are weirdos
LOL x 1 million. Exactly what I thought!!
"God is in … his holy temple"!!!
Cheers and thats for that EDL link. I knew there are a bunch of racists thugs
Wow – I'd just been thinking exactly the same thing about Freaky Freddy Phelps! He really does need to get out more & get some sun on that sallow skin. Maybe the Vit D will address his happiness deficiency too.
The above link dates back to the 1990s and includes what Nate was saying back then, as part of a court record. This didn't just pop up recently, he has been consistently reliable in his testimony.
I don't think anyone, anywhere on this Planet would be shocked to learn that Fred Phelps is, ontop of everything else, a child abuser.
Exactly my thoughts!
Oh he is. go to
the leadership of this church should be skinned alive and thrown in holes filled with maggots. Put these monsters on youtube streaming vid as a message to all their pals.
Time to allow cruel and unusual punishment. Welcome to christianity. the curse of the western world far more then islam in the east
No surprise there, then. Time and again homophobia has been proven a diversion tactic for people struggling to cope with their own homosexuality – or to distract from something genuinely sinister. Case in point, Fred Phelps. Why obsess about something harmless that apparently doesn't concern you?
Nate claiming he was abused isn't new in the slightest, but I'd love to read that book.
A free booik (copyright issues prevented its publicantion. Based on nate and a brothers testimony about this sick and disfunctional family.
And remember these people are just examples of some parts of christianity. The phelps nut cases mistake is making a public nuisance of themselves.
theothers screw up society in more clever and rotten ways
I have to ask is this story really a surprise?
It's seems to be a trait of religious nut jobs. They choose what parts to believe in so they can profit from it.
The Bible, Koran etc are the religious nut jobs favourite pick 'n' mix!
I only going to be a matter of time before a grief stricken soldier decides to take out the whole Phelps clan.
I sure a nation would be lining up to dance on the Phelps family grave.
No we would fill in the hole with excrement.
After first hangin g his rotten body from a bridge – where tractor trailers would mash it as they went underneath.
And a daily pouring of a thousand maggots would get a well deserved meal.
A flame thower would be more appropropriate. it was the only weapon the fanatical Japanese army feared during wwII.
It does seem to be part of the job description, doesn't it? I feel sorry for his 13 – 13!! – children, but not in the least bit surprised.
As others have said, Nate being abused along with his siblings is old news, though it barely makes much difference to my opinion of Phelps snr. who doesn't exactly come across as Mr. Nice guy even before you take into account the spousal beatings and child abuse.
The full story is on Nate Phelps's website.
Interesting how Both Fred Phelps and Stephen Green are extremely homophobic evangelists with a penchant for wifebeating. It's almost like there's a direct corrolation between one mindset and the other.
Well, I guess most of the reliwacks see women as their property, as obviously the man is the almighty boss and the wifes need to be submissive and obey…
And too many women have been totally indoctrinated into thinking that to be the normal and natural way…
Very old news now back in the headlines…..
This has been known for years, but this again proves society has a very short memory…
I thought I'd heard this before, I guess you hear so many of the same news about the same hypocrite nut jobs they blend into one.
i'd be really shocked if he did not abuse his kids.
I'd be even more shocked if Fred Phelps was (irrefutably) straight; he's sooooo gay, it's obvious!
please do not put back the lgbt movement with those perverse allegations. And under what delusion do you think he is gay?
I was merely extrapolating the fact that most religious nut cases are major hypocrites, seeing as this guy is obsessed with gay people… Do you see the logic I was following?
Of course, apolgosies if I offended you with my "setting back the lgbt movement", but with some perspective I think the WBC is far more guilty of that.
yes there is the obvious link between homophobia and latent homsexuality. But in the states he is reviled for his unpatriotism protesting soldiers funerals etc . and there, the mid west bible belt brigade like to say hes gay as a subliminal way of saying gay is bad. its like some theories that hitler was gay, which is more an allegation based on homophobia than an alternative view.
So, Shirley, are you lot examples of people that God LIKES??
If I were God I think I would sue.
God will judge Nate for what he has said about his father.
Yes, well we all know god is a misogynist sociopathic bloodthirsty git from most of the Old Testament.
I'm sure Fred and the Old Testament God would get on like a house on fire. Doesn't exactly make him a good role model for the rest of us though, does it?
Just as well he's a work of fiction really…
Actually, Flapjack, the Biblical view of God is pretty incoherent, which is only to be expected considering how many people wrote it. And Staircase – prove that your God even exists, let alone whether He/She/It has a particular view of what Nate Phelps says about his father.
Amen to that – The biblical god is about as coherent as collected fan fiction. One minute he's busy with the smiting and the jealousy, the next minute he's telling us wrath and envy are deadly sins.
Surely god should send himself to hell where his loyal civil servant/ mortal enemy dishes out punishments on his command. Or is he a do as I say, not do as I do kind of god?
If god was real I swear he'd be suffering from multiple personality disorder. But this is bronze age fan fiction so anything goes.
Yeah – almost as if the accounts were written by random individuals who were imposing their own views and beliefs on a being they called "God". Bizarre, that ;-)
@staircase2 Well well So you ARE a xtian fantasist Bigot. I did suspect something was up with you on another thread. Fcuk i'm good at this sussing sh*t. I had you nailed bang to rights on the second line of another totally unrelated thread. Aint nobody gonna judge Fred Phelps but himself on his own deathbed if he dies on a bed that is. I forsee a very neat small round hole right in the center of his evil brow though.
I bet I could guess who Staircase2 is if you were to give me a list of all the nutjobs in Phelp's cult, and as many guesses. Seriously, you need to get out into the real world and realise that you've been brainwashed by a sociopath. In some respects, I understand why his family stick around him; the group is very tight-knit, and to disagree with him would mean facing rejection and anger from everybody who you are close to. So, you stay where you know that you'll be supported, and absorb all the things you're told to believe and repeat them with fervour, because at least that way you know you won't be rejected: its Stockholm Syndrome. You know it on some level, but then, its easier to deny it than to challenge your family.
Well, if I am going to Hell then I am more than happy as I certainly don't want to spend any sort of "after life" in the same place the Phelps clan think they are going to! One sick, twisted and dysfunctional family – they need serious help.
The sister may well have rejected the claims of abuse, but she didn't "refute" them. For that to be true she would have had to provide some definitive proof that the claims were untrue.
Another perverted schizo unveiled.
Although I'd be surprised if he wasn't.
He looks like a compere of Spank Club on centegenarian night.
Incredible, again we get lectures about our morals from those who clearly have none themselves!
Get behind me Satan!
Steve, God does not use the word hate.
Neither gay or even the Fred Phelps or the rest of the family.
"The son of Fred Phelps, the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church, has claimed that his father beat his family until they bled."
Tons of videos of the Phelps clan on YouTube. I don't see any cuts, bruises, scars, missing teeth, etc. They all look healthy an happy. I think Nate Phelps is lying.
If you think they look happy – you're obviously mentally unstable. I think you are a member of the church who is protecting a child abuser.
Mary wants it in her tradesman's. Badly. She's living her life vicariously through us.
Yay, Mary!
Good god, Mary, are you naive or just stupid?
Mary – Fred Phelps is in his 80's now. If you're looking for fresh scars and bruises you probably won't find them as most of these allegations date back several decades.
Besides which, you'd have to look under the clothes to see that kind of stuff and WBC don't tend to bear much flesh in public.
What you can find is a group of indoctrinated fundamentalist fcukups spewing homophobic hate at other people's funerals which is pretty screwed up as it is.
I see no particular reason to doubt Nate's account.
Flapjack, the delightful Mary is one of the "dumps and run" religious types. She comes in here, as often before, an drops a religious pile of nonsense and then runs without return. Its what makes me admire her scathing wit and erudite repartee so :)
You would say that though wouldn't ya. You do like to be all contraversial (yawn) don't ya.
Abuse does not only have visual physical signs.
There's many videos of this cult's young childern holding signs and spewing forth verbal obsenties, that they're too young to understand; or do you believe that an eight or nine year (and younger) old can understand the old testament or the concept of homosexuality?
I do not think so… They have been indoctronated into a cult… and that is child abuse IMHO.
The Phelps cult is just that, a cult, in all its hidious meanings.
This man would slit his own wrist if he allowed himself to become consicous of what he has done to himself and his family. Thus, he has to constantly project hatred to covers and keep hidden- deep in his psyche- his own shame, guilt and hatred for himself. He is truly insane- deeply sick and in pain.
My heart goes out to his victims.
Are you surprised? Hell my brother just came after me and he is as homophobic as one gets. He spews crap that could make him a honourary Phelps member. These people don't know any boundaries and the only way they fell good about themseleves is by beating and tormenting others.
And the surprise is?
I have always wondered what on Earth happened to Phelps Snr that led to him being so clearly deranged. Is it purely brain chemistry, or is it down to serious abuse as a child? We will probably never know.
The damn shame of it is that his fear and pain has had such a powerful effect on others – his kids and grandkids are as much his victims as anyone, and are great examples of how abuse gets passed down generations. I'm glad that at least one got away.
Phelps Snr would have found some way to cover for his extremist attitudes and abusive behaviour even if he hadn't gone down the path of fundamentalist religion. Abusers and psychopaths always do, and you find them all over the world, replicating their damage wherever they go.
The whole thing is a mess and a tragedy.
As for revenge, I'd rather see the whole clan find sanity and peace, and actively working to repudiate their present beliefs and for peace, truth, justice, equality and compassion. Now that would be satisfying.
So sad for children that are raised in religious families. So much evil and hatred to sort through later in life! Thank goodness I had a secular upbringing.
The wording of the title implies that it is the son that abused the family. At least to me.
What are Fred Phelps and the WBC afraid of? Rainbows? Unicorns? A flaming pink queer apocalypse? I attempted to address this with a portrait of the good reverend on my artist's blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/fred-phelps-and-westboro-baptist-church.html Drop in and let me know what you think!
The ultimate sin against god, not murder, shucks, me thinks somebodies been abused some way along the line and I dont mean verbally
Neither does God hate gay or even Fred Phelps or his family
"He's convinced that homosexuality is the ultimate sin against God."
I wonder why? Does he have same-sex sex 'issues'? Wife-beaters often do. They project their self-hatred onto others – particularly gay people. 'Course, he makes a handsome living out of his vile hatred too …

Silas Redd is "leaning toward" transferring to USC, according to an ESPN report Monday, but Bill O'Brien will have one more crack at trying to convince the standout running back to stay at Penn State.
Redd is expected to meet with O'Brien today, then the junior will be faced with the toughest decision of his athletic career. He went to USC over the weekend, and all indications are the visit with Trojans coach Lane Kiffin went very well.
Kiffin tried to sell Redd on the impact he could make immediately at USC, which is expected to contend for a national title. The Trojans have an explosive offense led by potential Heisman Trophy candidate Matt Barkley, but they don't have a big, durable running back like Redd.
Those who know Redd have said this is a very difficult decision for him.
"I definitely see that it's killing him because he wants to make the decision, and he just wants to make the best decision for himself and his family," PSU defensive tackle Jordan Hill, one of Redd's roommates, said Thursday at Big Ten media days.
Since the NCAA sanctions came down, O'Brien has made a point in every interview to talk about the positives at Penn State. He is expected to reiterate all of those -- big crowds, being part of a new era, great education -- when he speaks to Redd, plus he could have one big selling point for Redd in particular.
The junior running back is a team leader for the Nittany Lions, and if he spurns USC and stays at Penn State, he would in many ways cement his legacy as someone who will be widely respected for sticking it out through the tough times during the sanctions.
Then it will be up to Redd to determine what's most important to him, his family and for his career.
Redd was asked at the Lift for Life event two weeks ago what Penn State means to him.
"I think it's one of the best institutions academically and athletically in the nation," he said. "My view of that is never going to change [in light of the scandal]."

Section 8 is worth that price, it's worth more than that IMO. Ghostbusters for $15.00 isn't that great considering you can get a new copy for $20.00 with free shipping from New Egg. Bionic Commando is $8.99 with free shipping at Newegg as well. I'm assuming these are used games at this price.
Dude, read like three posts above yours- these games are all new I literally just finished Ghostbusters 15 minutes ago. I paid $10 used from Gamefly and it was totally worth that especially if youre an old geezer like me with fond childhood memories of the flick. $15 new seems totally legit to me for a solid 8hr game.

vegetation. Along with her 40 brothers and sisters, she used her "egg
tooth" to slit an opening in her egg just wide enough to allow her head
to pop out. Instinctively, Adora began chirping. Mother gator arrived
as quickly as her 8 foot long body would allow and used her sharp teeth
to help Adora from the hard shell that remained. Adora left the safety
of her nest and crawled into her mother's open, awaiting mouth, as all
baby gators do.
Only 8 inches long, Adora fit easily
into her
mother's mouth. She, along with many of the jostling hatchlings, were
carried gently to the safety of the dark, swampy water.

Book Making in the 18th Century: In Diderot's Encyclopedie, 1751-1780March 17, 2014 - August 31, 2014
Manoa Campus, Hamilton Library, The John and Gertrude Troupe Moir Reading Room
Find out how books were produced in the 18th century, in this exhibit that features reproductions of copper engravings that describe the mechanical arts and trades of man. Former University Archivist James Cartwright assembled the exhibit, selecting images from Denis Diderot's Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, a set of volumes housed in the library's rare book collection. The Encyclopédie describes, in painstaking detail, the mechanics of everyday trades in 18th century France. Cartwright focused on papermaking and the casting of metal alphabets for printing on sheets of handmade paper that would eventually be turned into books.
The exhibit includes four original volumes of the Encyclopédie on display, as well as implements of the papermaking and printing trades. Artifact loans from Mission Houses Museum and contemporary Hawaii-based book artist James Rumford, complete the narrative of the bookmaking arts. Pages in the original volumes will be turned weekly to reveal more engravings that illustrate the complex processes of book making.

Toothing is a technological evolution of the sexual practice known as "dogging". People with Bluetooth enabled mobile devices broadcast to other Bluetooth enabled devices in the area that they are "up for a shag" They text some flirtatious sexual banter back and forth for a bit, then arrange to meet up for an impromptu shag in the nearest nook or cranny.

THE EAGLES' turnover problems have been dominating the conversation the last few days, and rightfully so.
Just one team in the league - the 1-4 Kansas City Chiefs - has been more careless with the football in the first 5 weeks of the season than the Eagles, who already have 14 giveaways, 11 of them by quarterback Michael Vick.
In related news, the Eagles are 31st in scoring, averaging a puny 16.0 points per game.
"[The turnovers] are hindering our ability to score," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "It's keeping us down in that latter part . . . [we're] the second lowest-scoring team in the National Football League right now. We've got to make sure that we fix that."
