          <description><![CDATA[
Here is an amazing statistic. According to State Farm Insurance, if you drive in West Virginia, there is a 1 in 39 chance you&#8217;ll hit a deer with your automobile or truck. Actually, the odds are probably greater than that, because these are only the reported deer collisions. In West Virginia, there is roughly one deer for every two people. It&#8217;s the likeliest state in the country for vehicle crashes involving deer. Joining West Virginia in the top five are Michigan, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Montana. Two of West Virginia&#8217;s other neighbors, Virginia and Maryland, are also classified as &#8220;high risk&#8221; states for deer collisions. Virginia is 10th overall and Maryland 13th in collisions.           ]]></description>

POTOMAC RIVER - D.C. - Smallmouth bass action is excellent around Fletchers&#8217; Boat House on live crayfish, tube baits and Yamamoto Senkos. From Chain Bridge to 14th Street Bridge, along the Virginia shoreline, crankbaits are taking most of the fish. Bridge pilings, wood cover and dropoffs are holding most of the largemouth throughout the city. Crankbaits, slow-rolled spinnerbaits, jig &#8216;n pig and plastic worms are the better choice of baits. Crappie are available throughout the river, orienting to submerged brush in 10-15 feet of water. Small minnows and tiny jigs are the preferred bait. Catfish action has slowed considerably, with little success reported. Stripers are available around Fletcher&#8217;s Boathouse, National Airport, 14th Street Bridge pilings and the National War College Wall.            ]]></description>

I am a bird hunter. Shot my first quail with a .410 shotgun when I was 12 years old. To me, the grace of a rangy setter working the edges of a field, the thunder of wings when a covey explodes and a pair of quail dropping with two well-placed shots from a Fox Sterlingworth is what hunting is all about. At least, that&#039;s what it used to be all about.           ]]></description>

At the first light of morning, birds begin to communicate. Their lovely warbles and chirps are cer-tainly soothing to human ears, but bird-talk serves a more important purpose: to determine the whereabouts of fellow birds. If a pair of doves loses contact while flying to the roost, for example, they call to each other the next morning, when all is quiet in the woods. &#034;I&#039;m over here,&#034; one will coo to the other. It&#039;s the same with turkeys.           ]]></description>

Old timers in Prince William County will remember back in the 1950s and 1960s when bowling balls were made of hard rubber and bowling lanes were made from maple and pine wood. As the coatings applied to wood lanes changed from softer lacquer to a harder urethane in the early 1970s, plastic balls became the balls of choice. Subsequent changes such as urethane and later &#034;reactive&#034; resin or composite &#034;particle&#034; bowling balls made the bowling balls react stronger and hit the pins harder.           ]]></description>

Years ago I went trout fishing on an April afternoon to see if I could entice a brook trout into hitting a fly on the North Fork of the Moorman&#039;s River in Albemarle County. It began raining before I left town and was soon coming down cats and dogs. By the time I parked and hiked up to the first ford, the river was rolling&#8212;totally unfishable with a fly rod. Disappointed, I headed back to my truck in the parking lot. Since I had come this far, I wondered if I could catch a trout in the lake. I had a spinning rod in the back, but knew I would need something heavy to cast over the swift current and get down quickly. I rooted through my tackle box and found an old red-and-white Daredevle Spoon. Why not?           ]]></description>
