There is going to be a big change in the baiting for deer law's in MN, My hat is off to Mr. Hansen for fighting the good fight. I also know the CO very well and he is a very difficult man to like. He has had many citations thrown out and many complaints against him...

While shopping for something to put on the grill today my wife called and the tone of her voice stopped me cold. She had gone out agate picking this afternoon and as she was getting her stuff together I asked her if she wants her gun. She was distracted and never took her gun. As she searched...

Just checked this site, I got my Female Elk tag but my hunting partner didn't. He was trying for a bull. We never apply as a party and he had A (1) point that always worked in the past, and his 2nd choice failed also. His Grandson got his tag this year too. My old hunting partner is going to...

While working out single hand and weak hand operation of my Para LDA I was surprised to find the slide is locked also by the grip safety. I carry without a round in the chamber and I am not interested in discussing the pro's and cons of that issue but have been practicing chambering a round...

At the range yesterday one of the students had a Taurus Judge and was shooting 45 Colts. I was standing at 5 o'clock observing/coaching and when the gun was fired I was peppered, I believe it was powder but am not positive.

Is it common among states to require a purchasing permit or carry permit to buy a so called assault style weapon? The reason I ask is here in MN it is a state law and the MN BCA provides a list of what is covered under this law. However this requirement has very recently been repealed and...

I have a hard time believing that some people believe it is legal to discharge a bow & arrow or related equipment within a city/Municipality. This comes from a post in another thread, Are there any know city's that this would be OK other than one with a large outlying area with forests, farms...

I didn't want to add this to the other thread, A friend just told me that he went out to his lease to retrieve the game cameras and upon his approach there was blood and hair all over the place. A deer had been ripped apart and consumed right in front of his game camera. He was very un-nerved...

This is a news story about a dispute over property and a hunter is charged with first-degree assault and hunter harassment after a deer stand (Ladder style it appears) fell to the ground with person still in it. This is an example of why one should not get into a dispute with another hunter...

I was admiring a friends Savage 1895 last weekend. It was his fathers rifle. It is stamped 30-30. So this is my question, On the barrel the calibre stamping has been filed and re-stamped 30-30, but the 30 is original, then the -3 is stamped where there is a flat from filing and then the 0 at...

Sunday 10/31 a good friend, co-worker, was cutting brush around his deer stands with a modified brush cutter (large weed whip with a saw blade attachment). While cutting brush the blade came off and cut one of his legs completely off just above the ankle. He was transfered by air to a trauma...

This is a story from our local paper. I have been in a position where I have had to step out of the path of a running Doe. Bill Polson had no time to react. The eight-point buck was bearing down on him at full speed. Polson, of Esko, was hunting pheasants in a South Dakota corn field when the...
