    Ranching for Wildlife tags

    I saw Colorado's RFW mentioned in another post and it brought to mind my experience hunting RFW ranches. The RFW program (for those who don't know) is a program that private ranches can get tags for most big game species. They can dispose of them as they see fit. In return for this privilege...

    Air Rifle recommendations

    I am going to get me a .177 cal air rifle. Looking at all the different ones, hard to figure out a good one. Looking for something at least 1000fps. Used to be Beemans was a really good choice. I also want a scope on it. What say you..........................?

    $600 Check

    Checked my bank statement online this morning to see if my VA disability was there and guess what, a $1,200 deposit (600 apiece for me and my wife) was there from the feds. I couldn't believe it.
