We are the largest animal, hunting and archery information sites on the Internet. We are also the most popular after Cabela's. Finally, we get more page views because there is so much more to see.
We started in 1997 as an all-volunteer public service to hunting. However, when our financial backers died or moved to Florida we had to take in advertising to pay expenses. No one has ever taken a penny in salary.
All our information and pictures are free. You may not see a lot of pretty pictures (except in our animal picture section) but our sites will load quickly and not waste your valuable time. We think this is a plus. Please scroll down to learn more.

Carolina Dogs
Bookmark this valuable site
Genetic (mitochondrial DNA) testing being performed at the University of South Carolina, College of Science and Mathematics, indicates that these dogs, related to the earliest domesticated dogs, are the remnant descendants of the feral pariah canids who came across the Bering land mass 8,000 to 11,000 years ago as hunting companions to the ancestors of the Native Americans.
However, their future in the wild looks bleak. Loss of habitat and competition from introduced species such as the coyote are driving these unique dogs to the brink of extinction.
The Carolina Dogs make gentle pets, winning show dogs, and good hunting/hiking companions - even when wild caught. They are willing, smart and never aggressive towards humans - alerting you to possible danger by standing at a distance and sounding a warning bark.
The same characteristics that have allowed them to survive for centuries in the wild are the same traits that make them perfect house pets: intelligent with a strong "pack" mentality that makes them biddable and submissive to their human "leader of the pack", healthy, clean (easily house broken with a desire to keep their denning area free of odor) with minimal scent (lack of smell ensured successful hunting and lack of discovery by larger predators).
