I started getting spam from issuu about a month ago.
Guess it’s from something I clicked on...
Never opened any of it, eventually blocked it.
OK, I can accept that. Anything is possible.
What has been confusing is that the website in the original link (ISSUU.com) is not the Lone Star Outdoor News.
So... I went to the LONE STAR OUTDOOR NEWS website.
I searched for this story ON THEIR WEBSITE. It does not exist.
Can you explain that ?
That young woman looks closer to 13 than 12, but nevertheless if I were a hunter I'd want her on my side.
She got her elk the next day at 375 yds.?
Come to think of it, I'd want her on my side under many scenarios I can think of...
Conceded.
Reality isn’t solely dependent on Google.
Actually, I was incorrect. It did show up on a Google search.
The problem is that when I go to the LONE STAR OUTDOOR NEWS website, I can't find that article, even using their 'search' option.
You missed the part where the story describes the hunting area near or at the border between new Mexico and Colorado?
I doubt that there's a bright colored dashed line defining the border through those mountains...
ahaha I seriously doubt it...
I do not know. Hard to say when the event actually happened. My searches for an Alyssa or Joshua Caldwell in Midland, Texas, come up dry.
The LOSN site is really hard to find stuff on. Maybe they just lack good Internet savy talent. They say they have been in business for 10 years. They should be internet savvy.
If you go to Lone Star Outdoor News and click on the current issue (at the bottom), it takes you to issuu.
I’m guessing Lone Star Outdoor News wants you to subscribe to their paper ($$). They can also publish their magazine with Issuu, which doesn’t cost them anything (free) and probably don’t have to pay someone to do any kind of coding to get the stories into some kind of html format for the website and also avoid paying for extra bandwidth.

Very likely this happened way back in the middle of nowhere. No reporters nearby.
Then, when the hunters got back home, they started talking, and it found its way to the local publication that specializes in hunting stories.
Even if it is a few years old, it is still a great story.
Probably not. But then, if they crossed into Colorado with a New Mexico tag then they were hunting everything illegally. I saw the "near the border" part, but they were hunting in New Mexico on New Mexico tags.
I have had some great stories told to me, on the condition that I *not* publish them.
Some people just do not want any publicity.
In talking to various people across the outdoor industry, we know that access is a major impediment to newcomers becoming involved in hunting and fishing. While we agree, we think there is a much larger issue – opportunity. Our passion for the outdoors simply isn’t being introduced to a wide spectrum of today’s youth. This omission even extends to those with the education and means to pursue the twin passions of hunting and fishing.
Let’s face it. Most students in our schools know little or nothing of the outdoors.
LSONF means to change that, regardless of gender, race or economic background. But we need your help, and we believe it’s in your best interest to help us. These soon-to-be graduates will find passions that excite them and spend their discretionary income in their pursuit. There is no reason that hunting and fishing shouldn’t be amoung their passions.
LSONF aims to provide opportunities for children and young adults to develop a passion for the outdoors, targeting individuals who will become future license holders in Texas.h3

With GPS today, those boundaries show up very well. I suspect that it was just a writing or editorial error. They are easy to make.
Ken used the sarcasm tag.....just a heads up
Lol
And I missed your correction
That's a mindless bureaucratic response.
I'm glad that the agents who responded were adults, crippled with the rare bureaucratic instinct of common sense.
The hunter dad didn't need to report the incident.
If you ever find yourself in similar circumstances, I hope you have your GPS handy, and Dr. Doolittle on speed dial on your satellite phone.
Some are actually sticks bound by leather or your hand to act like platform
And some are stick notched or with U at top to hold stock like a gunwale cannon would be on a vessel
Which it appears to be. I don't see how someone could shoot a mountain lion THESE DAYS, and it not be a national incident.
it is still a great story.
No doubt. I read the story, it was really interesting. But the whole 'feel' of it (picture and story) seems like something from 10 years ago.
Maybe it's just me.
Yeah, I’ll take the heat on that. Too many sticks in the fire at the same time.
:D
