What a beast…

Wolverines have a reputation of being the most fierce animal in North America, some would even call them the pound-for-pound best predators around. These medium sized animals generally weight about 25 pounds, but can reach 55 pounds at the heaviest, and are about 3 feet in length. Despite their relatively compact size, they will go up against animals that are 4 times larger than them without question.

A hearty steak dinner is one that we personally never get tired of. Not only is a steak dinner a great choice when you’re feeling something savory and filling for yourself, but it’s also an excellent option to impress guests who come over for dinner. While planning the steak part of a dinner is fairly straightforward, every good home chef knows the side dishes paired with steak can make or break a meal. Traditional steak sides like buttered corn or mashed potatoes will surely remind you of mama’s cooking, but they also are starchy and heavy. Instead, consider these 5 fresh takes on sides for steak dinners that offer a healthier, lighter twist.

Team roping has become a very popular sport among cowboys in the last half century. What once was a simple event in a rodeo has now become big business. Jackpots, performance horse trainers, all kinds of fancy roping dummies and dreams of Wickenburg in January are all the rage among team ropers. There’s a pile of money to be won at those big jackpots, along with trailers, four wheelers, saddles, side by sides, pickups and a host of other prizes. That’s a good thing, because when you figure up the cost of this pastime, you better win big or have a good paying job to pay for the entry fees, diesel, trailers, horses, feed, vet bills and other costs that can be charged to this hobby.
