    Wife and I are headed to the Casper area next week for antelope. Right now the weather looks rough, 12" snow at Casper, I-80 closed at Laramie. I've hunted the area before but my wife is getting worried. That rimrock can be tough country when weather is good. Any reports on hunting conditions or...

    Hillary "leftist" WND article

    I usually avoid cluttering up the board with links to articles. But this one is a concise and well written idiological 'profile'. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_poole_news/20000722_xnpol_hillary_br.shtml

    Dr.Laura learns to shoot

    I only caught part of the syndicated talk show today, but apparently Dr. Laura Schlessinger(sp?) got her first shooting lesson this AM from 2 LEOs on a formal range. The comments were favorable. She liked the 'automatic', thought the recoil of the revolver a little scary, and evidently shot...

    Wife's 1st hunt

    I'm so proud, I just had to post this. I've been married to my lovely wife for 9 years.

Her Christmas...

    Bismuth shot

    The folks selling the bismuth shot claim it is a truly safe-for-older-guns lead substitute. Does anyone have any evidence to the contrary? Does the same hold true for the Tungsten-polymer shot? I picked some up so I can still hunt pheasants with my old sidexside and thought I'd ask before I...

    barrel length-how important??

    I am taking up duck/goose hunting after 30+ years of pheasant/quail, deer, antelope,elk etc. hunting. All my shotguns are nice older guns not suitable for diets high in steel. I started looking for a 3" barrel for my 870(slug gun) but stumbled onto a good used Browning BPS 3.5" ulti-mag with...
