    Wolves now protected in California!

    Just saw that the California Wildlife Commission has now declared the Wolf an endangered species and totally protected in California. Also said that the one wolf that has been seen in NE Calif now has a mate and is in the southern Cascades. Sad, sad deal. I feel sorry for all my pals that live...

    New Sight for my Muzzleloader

    Went to the range this AM to sight in my TC Pro Hunter with the new SeeAll sight I just installed.

    New Bird Dog

    After losing my Lab Molly last June, my wife and I were undecided about another dog. Molly was 13 1/2 when I had to put her down and it was really hard. She was a great hunter (a pointing Lab) and friend. Well we pulled the trigger yesterday and bought a puppy from Eichhorn Kennels in Calhan...

    Ammunition & Reloading Supplies Availability

    I get most of my reloading components and ammo (mostly rimfire) from a local supplier who does not have a storefront outlet. He called me a couple of days ago to tell me he has picked up 10# of Goex BP at a recent gunshow to see if I wanted it. I scooped it up at $12.00 a pound...a real buy!. As...

We hunted last week of September after most everyone was finished, never saw another hunter. It was pretty dry with lots of...
