I think it was actually Scot Kearns, from House District 23, who said he supports it because, shocker, some of the monies generated from SB 143 will benefit his bill, HB something or other (HB 120, maybe?), I didn't catch the name but @Ben Lamb probably knows what it is.
I think it depends a little on the size of the kid, too. I grew up shooting a 35 Remington, which was a very forgiving round for a youngster. But I was also a bigger kid and could handle the recoil better than my little brother, who grew up shooting a 7mm-08, which he shot for several years...
Agreed. My first tour in Iraq we all carried QuikClot, but by the time we got to Afghanistan the next year, we were being told to avoid it because they were finding it was becoming problematic to get out during surgery. Depending on the injury, the other options mentioned in previous parts are...
I used to play all the time when I was in college, while working part-time bartending at the VFW. If VFW, Elks, Moose, American Legion are your thing, that would be a good place to find him some competition once he gets good enough to start schooling you on the reg.

I am also a huge fan of the Chemex. I have a French press, single cup pour-over, and an AeroPress, the last of which accompanies me pretty much everywhere, particularly overseas in...
Agree with a lot of the other replies here. Sleeping bags and tents are kind of like used vehicles in that you can usually get one lightly used for significantly cheaper than buying new. I think you can get into a very good quality used bag at that price point.
In addition to the REI used...
I have a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 and love it. It’s incredibly light (<2 lbs) and is super easy to set up with the mono pole. Previously used a BA Seedhouse SL1 which was even lighter but is def short on space. I found the Fly Creek UL2 to be more spacious for me (6 foot, 230) and some of my...
My suggestion might be to use Google to figure out where (what state) you want to hunt, as I think you’ll find articles on the internet that discuss this specific issue in depth. From there, once you figure out where you want to go, come back here and use the search function to find specific...
This.
And the amount of work required to be successful, imo, more than makes up for the difference in cost. I have no qualms with people hiring outfitters, but when the cost of a 7-day hunt is more than a year’s tuition at any public school in the United States, the overwhelming majority of...
