The Bayou Outdoor Show #10
Up close with Nina & Forrest Wood. (Presented By Bayou Outdoor Supercenter, Bossier City, LA.)
Forrest Lee Wood is known worldwide for his success in the sport fishing industry. In 1968, he founded Ranger Boats, now the largest manufacturer of bass boats in the nation. Wood has thus become known as an outdoor legend and the father of the modern bass boat.
Forrest Wood was born in Flippin (Marion County) on June 9, 1932, to Ervin and Beulah Wood; he has one younger brother. His father served for a time as a game warden, and he and Wood worked on the construction of the Bull Shoals Dam.
On April 21, 1951, Wood married Nina Kirkland; they had four daughters. The couple began raising cattle early in their marriage, but cattle prices dropped, and Wood found work in Kansas City, Missouri. However, the couple returned to Flippin in April 1955. Wood began work as a private guide on Bull Shoals Lake, the White River, Buffalo River, and Crooked Creek. He became well known throughout the region as a top fishing guide.
Wood and his wife continued to raise cattle, and he did construction work—building houses, bridges, and commercial buildings—while continuing to run a float trip business. In 1968, he began building lake boats, setting up shop in the back of a filling station. He made six boats that year, and Forrest's Ranger boats, named after the Army Rangers and the Texas Rangers, began to attract attention. On January 1, 1969, Wood and his employees moved into an old nightclub and made 600 boats. By 1970, sales had topped 1200.
On May 4, 1971, the boat factory was destroyed by fire, though Wood managed to salvage sixty boat orders from his desk in the burning building. Remarkably, Ranger Boats was back in business within forty days. That year, Wood qualified for the first Bassmaster Classic, and the following year, Ranger was named the official Bassmaster Classic boat. It remained so through 2000.
Even after selling Ranger Boats in 1987, Wood remained a legend in the sport fishing industry. In 1996, Operation Bass, a tournament organization, was renamed using Forrest's initials, FLW. The FLW tournament circuits have since seen major success in boosting the popularity of sport fishing and have been broadcast in some twenty-five countries around the world, appearing on ESPN, Fox Sports Network, Matchroom Sport, and the Armed Forces Network.
In 1998, Governor Mike Huckabee appointed Wood to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC), where he served a seven-year term, the last year as chairman, as is standard practice. The AGFC in 2005 named its new nature center in Jonesboro (Craighead County) the Forrest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center.
Wood has been inducted into the Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, International Boating Hall of Fame, National Marine Manufacturers Hall of Fame, Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame, Arkansas Game and Fish Hall of Fame, Arkansas Walk of Fame, and the Arkansas Business Hall of Fame. More recently, he received the 2007 Golden Glow Award presented by the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers.
As of 2008, Wood and his wife reside in Flippin, where they oversee an extensive cattle operation. In 2005, they opened to the public the Forrest L. Wood Outdoor Sports Gallery, displaying a collection of personal and Ranger memorabilia, including some early boat models.
দুই মাথাওয়ালা ভয়ঙ্কর সাপ! Two Headed Dangerous Snake
A rare, two-headed rattlesnake surprised a man in Arkansas Wednesday, according to KFSM.
Rodney Kelso, an operations director at Woodruff Electric, was working on a home about three miles north of Forrest City when he stumbled across the venomous reptile, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The snake is about 11 inches long and was found with two other snakes that looked normal. Kelso managed to get the rattlesnake into a box, which was taken to Forrest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center in Jonesboro.
Cody Walker, an education specialist at the facility, said full grown timber snakes – the most venomous snake in Arkansas – can grow longer than four feet and be as wide as an adult human's arm.
A herpetologist from Arkansas State University's biology department is scheduled to stop at the nature center to take a look at the snake.
Two-headed snakes have short life spans, especially in the wild, Walker said. They are technically two snakes fused together, so with two brains making independent decisions they may not react fast enough when faced with predators.
When a snake embryo doesn't fully separate, it can result in a two-headed snake. It is unclear if both snakes both eat and digest food.

One approach would be a bank which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank, keeps the original brands of the acquired firm, and adds the acquisition to its holding company simply to diversify its earnings. Outside the U.S. (e.g., in Japan), non-financial services companies are permitted within the holding company. In this scenario, each company still looks independent, and has its own customers, etc. In the other style, a bank would simply create its own brokerage division or insurance division and attempt to sell those products to its own existing customers, with incentives for combining all things with one company.
