    Ear Protection When Hunting

    I wear hearing aids (which I really like) and when I get ready to shoot, I turn them off. It only takes a few seconds. With them off, they also act like an ear plug. Not as good as a regular one, but enough that I can shoot without any hearing problems.

    Ear Protection When Hunting

    For years I have worn Peltor ear muffs while range master. They allow conversation, but as soon as a shot is fired, block the sound. They work pretty good. Never wore them for hunting, but they probably would work there too.

    Drone Ruins Sandhill Crane Hunt

    That sucks! Drones are a pain in the rear for hunters. Last year I was duck hunting on my Dad's old duck club in California. A state highway borders one side of it.

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    If I remember my government classes from school, the basis for our justice system is everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The person charged is entitled to bail (in the Judge's opinion) and their day in court. The problem is that we don't know the details of what happened and the...

    6.8 Western

    i am a big fan of P. O. Ackley and his research and modifications to existing chambering. I have a .220 AI Swift that is the most accurate centerfire I have ever shot. His stuff just makes a lot of sense.
