Hunting

Whoops…I’ve been trying really hard to get out at least one post every weekday, but looks like I missed yesterday.  Oh well.  I’ve got an idea floating around in my mind, but it’s been challenging to find the time to get it from my head, through my fingers, and into some cohesive form on...

Ya’ll saw the trail cam pictures my brother sent me the other day.  Well, I figured what better motivation to practice, so that’s what I’ve been doing.  I’m not quite there yet, but I’m working on it.

Haven’t seen one of these in a while.  On Friday the 13th, there will be a lead-free shooting event at Fort Hunter Liggett.  Hunters and shooters are invited to come out and put some of the non-lead ammo downrange, and to talk with a few folks about selecting ammo for the upcoming season.  It’s...

I’ve been pretty excited about going home to NC for the archery deer opener next month.  Ever since I booked the flight, I’ve been counting the days and hours… and they’re moving slow!  And then my little brother had to go and send me this! Now that was just mean!  Bow season doesn’t even...

OK, so this is a dangerous maneuver…  but I honestly want as many opinions as I can get. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is the organization that represents the shooting industry.  In the past few years, they seem to have become more and more a direct mouthpiece of the NRA… which shouldn’t be...

Like many bloggers, I’ve put myself on a bunch of mailing lists.  Many of them send irrelevant stuff that I pretty much send right to the trash bin.  Others are always worth a closer look, and Jerry Springer’s (no, not that Jerry Springer) Western Hunter was one of those.  Unfortunately, he stopped the regular...

No, really.  It’s not a scene from a Japanese monster movie.  Germany is having a significant issue with radioactive wild boar roaming the countryside… on top of the problem they’ve been having with the booming population.  Thanks to Kat for bringing this to my attention, following a brief report she just heard on NPR.  I...

As some of you will know, my friend Albert Rasch is over in Afghanistan as a contractor, doing some sort of important work to do his part for the efforts there.  He’s also doing what he can to keep his blog going, for which I’m grateful (I enjoy his writing).  On a recent post,...

Everybody feeling mellow?  Comfy and content in the belief that, except for those wackos in CA, nobody is going to come for your lead ammo?  Well then, let me just upset that apple cart for you.  The Center For Biological Diversity, in concert with a couple of other organizations, today filed a petition to...

So I know it was the closing weekend of the A-zone archery season, and if I were truly a die-hard, I’d have been out there in the heat and thistles doing what I do… but I wasn’t.  Instead, Kat and I were up in Sacramento, doing our best to help Hank, the Hunter Angler...
