I may be totally off base here, but is open carry really a constitutional right afforded to every American? In my home state at least, you need to have a conceiled carry permit before you can open carry. Seems more like a state or municipality issue not specifically protected by the 2nd...
Honest question. Why would a civilian and their friends carry AR style rifles at a otherwise peaceful protest for any reason other than intimidation? They are not law enforcement nor military, no matter how much their Walmart tactical gear makes them feel like it.
Would it be better for us gun...
Last year my dad climbed up into the brand new, HUGE box blind i built on our property, 7x7 with 3 foot walls. Strung between two oaks. No roof. Built so he could get up and stretch a bit during all day sits. Anyhow, his first time in it, he was sitting in one corner when a buck came by just...
So after applying for 6 years straight, I believe i am finally on the verge of drawing a Wyoming elk tag, in the southern Bighorn Mountains. This will be my first elk hunt and I'm already regretting not going out on cow hunts previously to at least get some elk hunting experience before chasing...
I've killed a few nice bucks since 2015 but this one is my favorite. Not because of the rack, but because of the body! He was obviously a warrior, and although i never had him officially aged, think he was past his prime by the looks of him. Shot just before the rut. By far the biggest bodied...
My wife suffers from sleep apnea and i go sleep in the back country to escape it!
In all seriousness though, i feel for ya, especially around the fatigue. When my buddy finally got his CPAP machine, it helped almost immediately. His blood pressure dropped, he stopped having to get up in the...
Yup, young people becoming radicalized and having easy access to (i assume, based off of similar tragedies) legally obtained firearms is something we really need to get a handle on.
For sure. I in no way want to see firearms banned and am more than willing to accept that there are already far to many failed gun laws on the books. But that in no way means there isn't room for gun owners to look for solutions rather than bury our heads in the sand and let someone else do the...
I really don't know and am not claiming to have an answer. Based on my high school grades, I am expecting and hoping there is someone out there smarter than me that will come up with some ideas. But the rest of us knobs have to be supportive of it, or even good ideas will go nowhere.
I want to make it clear that I DO NOT BLAME REMINGTON for the tragedy of Sandy Hook, but I am hardly surprised that this happened. Because this is the chit that happens when we don't adequately police ourselves, and this is a cost of many of the people that make up "gun culture" believing that...
Ya. I'll admit i kind of kept myself off the forums and "in the dark" this season. Shouldn't have taken me by surprise, but it did. Plus, I was taking out a first time hunter and was hoping for the best.
Point creep seemed unreal this year for Wyoming pronghorn. Unit 7 which up until just 2 years ago was a guaranteed draw with 2 points was up to 4, and 9, which I drew with 0.5 point just two years ago was up to 2! Was there a substantial reduction in tags due to the draught? Or does this just...
As most of you all know, a couple years ago WY changed how it sold preference points, going from time of application to after the years licenses have been allocated (July-Oct).
So here is my question. If me and 2 buddies apply as a group with 1,1,0 points each and we are successful at drawing...
I am extremely fortunate to own and hunt on 300 acres of Minnesota river bottom, forest and CRP land. Been in my family since 1888 and I know how lucky I am to have a yearly opportunity (though no guarantee) of deer, wild turkey, ducks and small game. I also hunt public land. Why? There is a lot...
