    NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

    I understand there's 76 board members. That's ridiculous. Twelve might be too many.

    Winchester M70 long action blank canvas... ideas on what to build.

    It's zebrawood. Not spalted. The local exotic wood place only had one piece of rosewood and it was not very good. No ebony. So I went with something different. Zebrawood is a hardwood but surprisingly easy to work with. Not as dense as the other two but about the same as walnut. It was my...

    Winchester M70 long action blank canvas... ideas on what to build.

    Go big or stay at home. 375 H&H or 404 Jeffery. During the summer I built a 404 with Lidja barrel on a standard length WWII era 98 Mauser. Could have made it 375 but I wanted the historic factor (in 1905 it was the first rimless big bore cartridge fitted into a bolt action). Opening the bolt...

    A little humour for your day

    For those who don't know, white hardhats are typically reserved for foremen. That clarifies the humor better.

    Tell me a story…

    I'd guess the "thread" is probably fur. She definitely had some significant head trauma. My Lab Ellie's predecessor Black Pearl, was run over at 11 months and sustained a fractured skull. She survived it fine with a crease in her skull above both eyes. That dog was amazing. Survived...

    Tell me a story…

    I'm guessing she was hit in the head by a car. A story in there for sure.

    South for the winter

    Twenty-seven hours driving back from Montana this year. Had to stop for a short snooze at a truck stop in Williston. Lock your car doors in that town!

    Surprise in shotgun barrel purchase.

    I guess it won't make much difference to the tweeker if he's shot with Chinese junk. "Hey man, if you're gonna blow my arm off, can ya at least do it with something more classy? Meth heads matter!"

    A little humour for your day

    Dining at Perkins or Denny's does have one advantage. You always can be sure of what you'll get when you place your order ... diarrhea.

    Herter's

    Ah, the big cast iron jobs. Yeah, I saved all year to buy one then got a HS class ring instead. Dumb kid!

    Hunting mittens

    If he's just sitting in a blind, consider a muff. Surely someone makes one that's down filled? Seems that setup would be the ticket with a regular pair of buckskin gloves.

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    I am on my sixth Lab, age 8, and my only Fr Britt, age 12. The little Britt was my go to dog this year as Ellie was recovering from cranial cruciate ligament repair. For several years now the Lab has been the go to upland dog. Pheasants have been few and cover has been scarce during the...

    Not enough

    At times there can be a fine line between right and wrong ... but 900 yards is quite a ways over it. No shortage of moose in Alaska. Go find another one.

    What did santa bring you?

    I gotta get one of those mugs. I have two dogs watching me eat breakfast on the couch. The rule is nose must be no less than eight inches from the plate ... and they don't need a tape measure to know the limit! I can get up and go to the john, come back, and both are still eight inches away...

    First time uplander

    Two years ago I tried my dogs tracking someone's gutshot whitetail buck. Lab and Fr Britt did a great job tracking it to the river. I could see where the buck left a trail of slobber climbing the cutback on opposite side. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to drive around to the opposite...
