I hate PETA. In the past I have made my sentiments about this group perfectly clear…in my opinion this money-hungry group is one of the top enemies not only to the sportsman, but also to ranchers and to medical researchers. The very nature of the group promoting itself as a non-profit entity looking out for the welfare [...]

In case you’re wondering why blogging has been a little sporadic as of late, it’s partly due to time being spent gearing up and getting ready to do some serious podcasting here this coming spring. Right now the equipment is finally in-house and the studio is…well, coming together with a little bit of effort. Fact is [...]

Okay, first off let’s get something perfectly clear. I’ve learned that new products promoted as such at the SHOT Show are not necessarily “unveiled” at the show…at least not in all instances.

In the meantime, did you hear about this: Apparently there is a growing uproar in Colorado over PETA not stepping up [...]

This past holiday season my 10 year old stepson wanted a chemistry set in the worst way. It was an item near the top of his “wish list,” and as things turned out his Grandma and Grandpa eventually came through with a nice set that should have made any kid his age quite proud. Yesterday [...]

Last summer while I was traveling north into Maine through New Hampshire I stopped at the Maine Visitor Center just across the border to pick up some tourist literature. I struck up a conversation with one of the travel hosts and he inquired where I was from. When I told him MINNESOTA his immediate reaction was…“oh, [...]

During the past several weeks here in Minnesota I’ve been reading about sportsmen occasionally dealing with a pet that has become caught in an animal trap, often set legally, albeit sometimes not placed with the absolute best judgment on the part of the trapper. It’s a situation that has created somewhat of a stir in [...]
