OT:Father accidentally shoots son while turkey hunting
I went home from work to wash and wax the Ranger as well as chat with Dad about next weeks plans. While we chatted the TV was on FOX News and some sad news came up. A Minnesota man was hunting with his 8 year old boy for turkey. He told the boy to sit still while he stalked some birds. Well the boy ...

I believe you can only take one bird in NH. Sooo..I don't see the great need for a second shot. Turkey hunting in the spring is a different type of hunting in that you are calling them in and waiting for the set up shot. My dad and I use NEF single shots with scopes mounted for turkey. We both have ...

I remember when in high school I first learned of the Bataan Death March. My teacher had a good grasp of history and its impact on each person in society. I am glad that he was able to convey that message. It is too bad that history has been watered down with the failed philosophy of political corre...

It really isn't accurate to label all of the people as anti gun in Massachusetts. The big problem is that the Greater Boston area has the political clout and tends to be anti gun.

Good shot. Have you ever considered handloading your own ammunition? I know that you can load a 50 grain bullet in the 22 Hornet case. Each firearm has it's own preferences but it may shoot very well out of your rifle. I am sure that if one applies oneself you can get a job in most places. Speaking ...

Some comments made about Charlton Heston..
I was shocked when Mary told me that Charlton Heston passed away. I know that we will all go but it was something that was a bit of a surprise.

Uncle W used #2's or BB's. A head or neck shot is ideal but once in a while you have to shoot them on the fly and the larger shot punches through the feathers. We always used full choke if possible but modified will work if you get close enough. Here in the northeast most states prohibit any birdsho...
