What constitutes a mediocre hunting trip? Don’t bother finding out! Hunting is one of the most popular recreational sports in the United States and a passion that sends millions of families, friends and individuals alike to surrounding forests in search of the ultimate weekend. Hog hunting trips are particularly popular in Oklahoma and nearby states for their ability to reduce strain on the environment while providing you with a trip you’ll never forget. What should you know before signing up at a hunting lodge? Take a look below and catch yourself up to speed.

Did You Know?

Time for some fun facts! It’s thought over 12% of the American population actively hunt or fish, which is nothing to say of those who engage in it semi-regularly or during family gatherings. That’s as many as 15 million people! Pigs are not actually native to North America, having been introduced by Spaniards over 500 years ago. This has led multiple states to having sizable hog populations, creating an entire subculture devoted to the art of the hog hunt. According to the U.S. Department Of Agriculture, our country is home to over six million wild pigs.

Environmental Awareness

There are environmental benefits to be had every time you gather up with friends for exotic hunting trips. The USDA has estimated feral hogs causing over $1 billion in damage around the nation due to depleting local crops and infecting water with numerous diseases. They can even erode the land around water resources due to their exploding population growth! Hog hunting is not just an engaging past-time, but a way to cull high numbers of hog and keep the environment as balanced as possible.

Boar Hunting

Whether you’re hunting sheep or hogs, you’ll want to know what you’re up against. Hogs reproduce at an astonishingly rapid rate, with some families producing up to 20 piglets every year. Feral swine populations have officially been seen in all 77 counties of Oklahoma, making this one of the best states if you want to try hog hunting yourself. The aoudad is popular for its stunning horns and large size, creating many impressive photo opportunities for hunters both lucky and skilled enough to find one. Also known as the ‘Barbary sheep’, it is anywhere from 88 to over 300 pounds.

Just Fishing

What if you’re less interested in catching a wild aoudad sheep and more curious about what fish you can roast up for dinner? Some like to do a little hunting, then relax with some fishing by the river with their friends. Wherever you stand on the scale, a good fishing trip should always have the right equipment for both locating fish and keeping them fresh on the way back to the RV. This includes sturdy line you can trust not to snap on you should you be lucky enough to snag the big one, as well as a portable refrigerator that can fit snugly in any boat.

Wild boar hunting (or aoudad hunting) trips are better when you’re aware of the competition. Drop by a hunting lodge and make sure you’re equipped before setting out!

Across the globe, sports are beloved by fans of all types of sports. Whether the sport is baseball, soccer, basketball, football, boxing, rugby, or MMA, people love to watch sports and people love to play sports. One may wonder why that is, but if you really look at what goes on in sports it is so easy to understand.

I personally love sports but there is no question that you can look at sports on a basic level to understand that so much of the love of sports is based on tribal instincts that humans have had since they could first walk. People want to feel like they are a part of something and love the idea that their hometown is a tribe, a group of people, that they belong to and that they believe in.

People love sports so much that they are willing to spend money on not only the jerseys of famous athletes, but they even want to buy custom athletic jerseys. People want to feel like they belong to the team and they belong to a group. So let’s talk about why custom athletic jerseys are so popular.

Even though Baseball was born in the United States it has now managed to spread across the world in terms of popularity to the point where now more than 100 countries are members of the International Baseball Federation. In 1903, the Boston Americans won the first World Series. The team with the most World Series wins, however, is none other than the New York Yankees and they have 27 titles which is amazing to think about.

The Major League Baseball, or MLB, managed to generate over $9 billion in revenue in 2016 which is an average of around $301 million per team. Keep in mind that over half of all people say that they are fans of a professional baseball team, so there is no question that Baseball is popular in America. Just about 23 million people will watch the World Series on television each year as well.

A lot of people will get custom athletic jerseys for the New York Yankees because as of July 2017, they have the most followers on Twitter in terms of MLB team accounts with over 2 million followers.

As of April 2017, for the second season in a row, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant had the most popular selling major league baseball jersey. The oldest baseball park still in use is Fenway Park, which debuted in 1912. In an average major league baseball game, 50 foul balls are hit into a crowd of about 31,000 people.

In Conclusion

People love to put their own customized names on jerseys so that they feel even more like they are a part of the organization that they cheer for day in and day out.
