When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Or maybe they were knocked out or killed by the blast.


What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.

Let's face it, lot of things to go wrong with a recycled rail boiler. These guys were venturing where no one had gone before. Seems to me the Hunley sank twice before, killing it's crew, including it builder. Always some one trying to make a name for himself by coming up with a new theory.

Well there is the small matter of the shell penetration into the coning tower. She was very close to the Housatonic when the blast occurred, maybe 25 feet. Likely the crew was hammered by the underwater blast as well.
