Michigan girl shoots record 448-pound bear with bow and arrow
Jessica Olmstead is a 17-year-old high school senior at Harper Creek (Mich.) High School. In many ways she's like most teens; she worries about classes, gets excited about the next weekend and likes to hang out with friends. But Olmstead has a hobby that isn't shared by many of her peers: She's a big game bowhunter, a pursuit which recently helped her land big headlines when she bagged a 448-pound black bear on a summer hunt in Canada.
According to Aaron Harris of the Battle Creek Enquirer, Olmstead considers herself a hunting natural. She relishes the adrenaline and excitement of a hunt. Despite the fact that the massive bear was her first big game take (hunting parlance for a kill), Olmstead earned the Pope and Young Bowhunting record for trophy bear, according to the Enquirer.
Here's how Olmstead described the experience to the Enquirer:
"When I go out hunting, it's really exciting," Olmstead said. "Whenever I see a bear I just want to go at it. When you're hunting, your heart is racing, your blood is pumping, and you feel that adrenaline rush. I really love to hunt." ...
"The bear was the first animal I killed with the bow," Olmstead said. "As soon as my dad got it for me I was immediately comfortable and I was ready to use it the next day."
Olmstead's father, Tim, a professional hunting instructor, said his daughter is the quickest learner he's encountered during his 30 years in the business.
"I'm not just saying this because she's my daughter," the elder Olmstead told the Battle Creek Enquirer. "But she's probably one of the best listeners I've every taught. With the bear she showed a lot of patience. She tracked the bear, killed it, and gutted it like a pro, like she's been doing it for years."
There are plenty of big game hunters out there, but few award winning female hunters of Olmstead's age. The Pope and Young club hosts a weekly "photo of the week" contest to honor recent notable takes. Among their 37 winners in 2010, only five have been women ... and none of those five killed a bear; all were pictured with some species of deer.
A hunter is always at risk on a big game hunt. That vulnerability is part of what gives Olmstead and others such a rush from the sport. Still, the Michigan teen's auspicious start leads one to believe she has plenty more takes in her future.
"She's really a natural at this sport," Tim Olmstead told the Enquirer. "All you have to do is tell her one thing one time and she gets it. It's amazing."

JOKE: I Need a Raise!
"Boss, you know I've been with you over ten years now. I won't beat around the bush. I need a raise. I have four companies after me, but I decided to talk with you first." "A raise, Tompkins? I'd love to give you a raise, but this is a bad time." "I know this economic downturn has been tough on sales, boss, but consider my hard work and loyalty to this company." "Well, that's true, Tompkins. And I'd hate to start a brain drain.... How about a 10% raise plus five more vacation days?" "Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!" "Before you go Tompkins, just out of curiosity, may I ask exactly which companies were after you?" "Oh, the electric company, the gas company, the water company, and the mortgage company!"
Segway company owner rides scooter off a cliff
A British businessman, who bought the Segway company less than a year ago, died after riding one of the scooters off a cliff and into a river near his Yorkshire estate.
Jim Heselden acquired the Segway company from its U.S. inventor Dean Kamen in December 2009.
According to the British media, Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe while riding a rugged country version of the two-wheeled transporter on Sunday.
"Police were called at 11.40 a.m. yesterday to reports of a man in the River Wharfe, apparently having fallen from the cliffs above," a spokesman told The Daily Mail.
A Segway was recovered from the scene. "At this time we do not believe the death to be suspicious," the spokesman added.
