For pre-history, one would have to consider contests related to hunting activities (running, throwing various items like rocks and spears, etc.).  Throwing knucklebones and other gambling games would appear to have prehistoric origins, and wrestling might not merely be prehistoric but prehuman.\n\nWe know that ancient peoples played ball games, as we have representations of these.  Greek vase paintings show a ball game played with sticks, rather like field hockey.\n\nThe original Olympic Games, which are based on funeral games recorded in legends, included various running and hurling contests plus boxing, wrestling and a form of no-holds-barred fighting called the "pankration," which was often fatal to the competitors.  Horse and chariot racing were added later  The Games have been dated to 776 BCE, which is recent in the span of the human race.

Growing up when ever we visited my Grandparent who lived in the mountains my dad and uncle always said they were going to take us snipe hunting but they never would. We were always disappointed. It wasn't until I was an adult that someone told me what it was.....Still would have been fun.

Sporting & Fun:\n\nHave you heard of "Fox Hunting"...A fox was released, and blood hounds were releases, and men on horses went after the fox.  Once they caught the animal, it's tail was cut off.\n\nSurvival:\n\nLike Davey Crocket. . . they used trapps.

Late hunt modern firearm hunt in both eastern and western WA ends November 19 (two days from now). That I know of it's not to late to buy a tag but the hunts ends very soon. Archery I do believe starts the 20th here (eastern WA) but I don't remember what day it ends. Muzzle loader dates I can't remember off memory. If I knew what Game Management Unit you would be hunting in I could tell you more definitely what time you have left and what you are allowed to hunt (buck, doe, etc.).

A decision was made by the IOC in 1986 to hold the Winter Olympics four years apart, but two years seperated from the Summer Games.  The decision was applied in 1994, when the Games in Lillehammer were the first to be held apart from the Summer Games.

NH has a great history in skiing, The few members of the army mountain division that came into the white mountains to develop skiing, Dick Durance skiiied Mt Washington and surrounding areas. developed areas on the RTE93 side of NH. The Inferno Race on Tuckerman's Ravine was and is world renown. Tuckerman's Ravine is accessable to many people and is one of the nicest winter and summer climbs. Kiers and boarders can get runs up into May every year, The western slope of Mt Washington is now skiable from the cog railway.

Summer Biathlon is a warm weather variant of Winter Biathlon where the skiing is replaced by either running or occasionally mountain biking. This sport, which was planned as a promotion for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, began in 1987 with a race series in Memphis, Tennessee. \n\n  \n"standard" winter target \nSummer Biathlon will typically consist of a 5 to 10 km run with two shooting stops. The course is divided into three loops with prone shooting following the first loop and standing shooting following the second loop. For both prone and standing shooting, competitors have five rounds to hit five targets set at 50 meters (for a total of ten shots). A 100m penalty loop must be run for every shot missed. Unlike winter biathlon, rifles are left in the shooting range on a rack. Competitors pick up rifles as they enter, and leave them as they exit the range area. For National and International events, there are rules and regulations which govern the length of the course depending on competitor class (Men, woman, junior men, junior women), the shooting distance, target size, rifle, and so forth.\n\n  \n3.5" target \nFor most events you will encounter in the US, novice (sport class) participants will usually be allowed to shoot from 25 meters and experienced (match class) racers usually shoot at 50 meters. The targets you will see in most races are either 3.5" metal knockdown targets - plates on hinges that are cheaply constructed but still in use by some clubs for novice events, or the standard winter targets, which can be set for 4.5 cm for prone shooting, or 11.5 cm for standing. Some events still adhere to the original practice of rewarding racers for hitting targets by subtracting 15 seconds for every prone hit, and 30 seconds for every standing hit from their race time instead of penalizing for shots missed. Marlin 2000 rifles are provided at most races, in addition to shooting instruction, ammunition, and targets.

My family hunts deer and ducks. I have done both, but haven't been very successful.  Both sides of my family have a long history of hunting.  People think its wierd that I grew up with lots of guns in my house just outside of Chicago, but that's the way my parents grew up!
