Hooked Mako Shark Leaps, Nearly Ends Up in Another Boat

A fighting mako shark nearly leaped its way into history by landing inside of a moving boat. The mako shark is well known for its fighting veracity when it feels the bite of an angler’s hook, but this one nearly made itself famous for leaving the scene in another fisherman’s boat! Once they’ve been hooked,

Hunter Counts His Lucky Stars After Large Bull Moose Charges

Watch as one hunter gets charged by a bull moose when he gets too close for comfort. Bull moose don’t have the sharpest senses. Their vision is especially poor. However, when you combine that with their ornery attitudes during mating season, you have a possible recipe for disaster. The hunter in this clip almost found

Andy Murray Says More Top Players Will Pull out of US Open
The former champion says that each player must make this difficult decision based on their own unique circumstances. Andy Murray says that it is very likely that more top players will follow Ash Barty’s lead and pull out of the 2020 US Open.
“I think we will see it quite a bit,” the three-time major champion said on Thursday. “I have heard some of the top male players aren’t going to play. I would expect that would be the case.”

Murray himself has said he’d like to play the Open if it goes ahead. He is currently competing in the Battle of the Brits and working himself into top form.
“It’s everyone’s personal decision,” Murray said of playing Cincinnati and the US Open. “If they don’t feel safe, and don’t feel comfortable, travelling and going there and putting themselves and their team at an increased risk, then it’s completely understandable. All of the players will have some reservations and it’s whether or not you feel comfortable taking that risk.”
Murray believes that the US Open’s bubble will be effective—it’s the travel to and from the United States that he finds concerning.
“Like I said the other day, my feeling is once we are inside that bubble they created, we will be okay. It’s more the international travel and getting there which I will be a bit concerned about it.” Main draw play at Western and Southern Open begins on August 20 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, with the US Open’s main draw starting on August 31, all without spectators.

Add mosquito repellent candles to your outdoor shopping list. Mosquitoes are the worst. Their bites itch terribly, and it’s nearly impossible not to scratch them.

Whitetail Buck Sheds Antlers Immediately After Being Shot

Have you ever seen this happen before? Hunters often catch some pretty amazing and crazy stuff while filming their hunts. However, something like a buck’s antlers falling off from an arrow’s impact would be unbelievable if not caught on film. On the last day of Minnesota’s deer season, a couple guys spot a nice-sized buck

Trail Camera Footages Shows Deer Seemingly Unfazed by Gut Pile

You’ve probably heard someone tell you to never gut a deer near your treestand. As the saying goes, if you gut a deer near your stand, it will scare away all the deer that frequent the area. However, are there any facts to back up this claim, or debunk it? As deer hunters, can we glean

5 of the WTA’s Top 10 Will Skip Cincinnati
The Western and Southern Open has released its player field for 2020. What does it mean for the US Open? The player field at the Western and Southern Open (to be held in New York: main draw begins on Saturday, August 23) is set. And a few big names have been left off the list on the WTA side.
Only five of the WTA’s Top 10 players have committed to play the event, which means that we’ll be waiting expectantly to see which names are not on the US Open player entry list when it is released next Monday.
For now we know that World No.1 Ash Barty and World No.2 Simona Halep, along with Bianca Andreescu, Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina, will not be playing Cincinnati.

Of course, missing Cincinnati does not preclude a player from playing the US Open (which begins the following week, on August 31) but one would think that a player motivated to play in New York would want to get to Cincinnati to pick up some extra matches after a long layoff.
Andreescu, who is the defending US Open champion, has still not played since injuring her knee at the WTA Finals Shenzhen last year. Osaka is believed to be in good health, and staying in the United States, so her absence from the Cincinnati entry list comes as a bit of a surprise.
Halep, Barty and Svitolina have all indicated that they are not too excited about coming to the New York. It wouldn’t be surprising if all three elect to pass on the US Open.
On the men’s side a few notable names were left off the list as well: Gael Monfils, Stan Wawrinka, Fabio Fognini and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
The US Open player entry deadline lands on Monday August 3. Stay tuned for more info.
