Family Fish and Game - Your Family's Connection to the Great Outdoors

	In 1785, Peter Carr wrote to his uncle, Thomas Jefferson, to ask for his advice on which sport to pursue. The father of the U.S. Constitution replied in a letter dated August 19, 1785, “A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.” more -->

Finding the Right Crossbow
This year, for the first time ever here in Kansas, crossbows may be used by ALL hunters to harvest deer with a firearms permit during the regular and extended firearms season (please review the 2008 Hunting Regulations Summary). I decided to buy one, and had set about doing the necessary research, but soon found myself awash in a sea of “crossbow speak.” Did I want recurve or compound limbs; wood or composite stock; a scope or red dot sights; a cocking devise or not, and the list went on... I needed help!

Many outdoorsmen and women say that it’s the experience of being outdoors that they cherish the most, and not necessarily the taking of fish or game that results. Family Fish & Game celebrates this spirit of connecting with the outdoors and at the same time connecting with your family.
