Nice going. You need to talk your group into using handguns or a muzzle loader, I feel it is a lot more fun especially when you can get within 25 yards. I have had them as close as right at my feet out to 150 yards with a handgun. I wished that I was down there this year but the draw gods...

I figure that we don't have much of a chance of changing their minds but we have to try, at least where I live with two Democrats as representatives. At least neither of their names came up as sponsors of any of the bills.

Well, if you have never written your state representative now is the time to start. I am sure that you have heard that new bills were introduced on Thursday pertaining to firearms by the Liberal controlled Legislature. They are: HB 1219 which is a 3 day waiting period after you pass a...

I have found that when a big box store moves into a area that has those small mom and pop stores, that the mom and pop store needs to specialize in service. I know a couple of them in Utah that outsell big sporting goods stores left and right just because of their service even if they do sell...

I miss those kind of stores. I remember when I was a kid and my dad traveled around the western US with his job the first couple of stores that I would find in town were the sporting goods and the hardware stores, and quite often they were the same store. I purchased my first hunting knife...

This gentleman makes some fantastic knifes. I have his Buffalo Skinner and am thinking of ordering one of his others https://vongruffknives.com/

Just contacted my importer, and like everything in Africa it is hurry up and wait. After all they are on African time.

Warthogs are classic little animals and were my primary animal on this safari. On my first safari I would run into them but the areas that I was hunting didn't have them with good tusk since the ground that they dug their dens in was quite rocky. On my first day this trip I missed one at 100...

I had a neighbor who lived across the street from me years ago. I was working for the telephone company and needed to climb a number of poles so being a old lineman I went home and changed into my pole climbing boots that have a 16" high top and are quite heavy with a steel toe and shank...

Still waiting. My importer tries to get a bulk shipment from Africa here to the US to try and save money. But I'm getting a little anxious. US Customs can be a pain. All the paperwork needs to be correct, miss dotting a I or crossing a T and you are in trouble. Then there is the problem if...

That's why I only had 3 done, but I also have 4 or 5 euros coming

Hunting turkeys has a learning curve. I got lucky my first year out, but then I had been with others on their hunts out west here. We would hit the creek bottoms and follow the water up to the snow line. We slept in one morning and were headed up to where we wanted to set up when a flock...

I think that they do, as the Tom comes into the call if he sees a decoy they may come in more aggressively and in the open and not paying much attention to anything other than the decoys. I once had two Toms come into my decoys and attack the decoy Tom. I wished that I had a video camera on...

If any of you would like to read a book by a non hunter about hunting in Africa I'll suggest this one. It is written by a hunters wife who tagged along on a 23 day safari in Tanzania. While there are tales on hunting and the kill a lot of it is about the animals and people. It is a very...

Years ago I never packed a sidearm with me when out scouting or hiking in the wilds. But in today's world I always have a firearm with me when out hiking, you never know what is going to happen. And while the biggest problem is the two legged kind something like this does happen with those...

I just looked and unless I am reading it wrong it failed on a vote of 20 to 43 and was laid over, whatever that means. https://leg.colorado.gov/content/hb23-1165vote638e07

They had a news report on the banning of firing a gun at certain firing ranges within close proximity of other dwellings. It sounded more like a safety concern, but I haven't gone searching for the bill itself. My makeshift range is out on BLM land so I'm pretty safe. The nearest dwelling is...

It is too bad that there isn't a law where Governor's need to appoint someone who has a background in what they are being appointed for. While I haven't followed just who is on Colorado's board I have on Utah's Wildlife Board and most of them have zero idea about what they are talking about...

It is always sad to loose someone who you have worked with to accomplish a lifelong dream.

I agree but to not even try for the touchdown is what gets me. After the Eagles spend their last timeout KC still had a couple of plays that they could of tried to punch it in. Granted you don't want to give a explosive offense much time, but depending on a field goal is risking even more with...
