If a Doctor Asks About Your Guns…

According to this blog, a Fox News producer recently changed doctors, and the questionnaire the person  filled out at the new medical office asked: “Are you concerned about unsecured weapons in the home?” Strange and incredibly intrusive question, but I had heard this was going to happen with Obamacare. I did not know it was already happening. Fox’s Judge Andrew Napolitano (everybody likes that guy, including me) explained that the question about firearms comes from a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama. Napolitano went on to say that the question is "exceptionally troublesome," but noted that Congress approved of the gun question when it passed Obamacare. "Most people will think they have to answer,” the Judge said. “They don't [...]

Read the full story at Michigan Outdoor News; here are the highlights: Around Halloween last year in Oakland County, Robert Sopsich, Sr. told sons, Robert Jr. and Danny, that a neighbor had seen a giant buck in a field nearby. The rut was coming on, the bucks were on their feet and they needed to get out in the woods. November 2, Robert Jr. was sneaking along the edge of some pines when he saw the buck walking on the edge of a field. “He was cutting across the field, quartering away from me,” Sopsich told Michigan Outdoor News. “He was walking, then he stopped and I was already drawn back... I only have one pin on my bow – it’s [...]

Is U.S. Gov’t. Hoarding Ammo for Gun Control?

2020-06-10T09:23:36-04:00May 8th, 2013|BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Hunting News|10 Comments

Is our out-of-control federal government (most notably Big Sis at DHS) buying up all the ammunition so that we law-abiding shooters and home defenders can’t get any, in effect going through the back door to get the gun control they want? If you don’t have any ammo, why have a gun? U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) believes so. He told the Daily Caller: “I believe it’s intentional. Now we had someone testify the other day the DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, has the ‘right’ — this is a bureaucrat that said this — they have the ‘right’ to buy as much as they want, and they’re planning to buy 750 million rounds. Well, that is more than three times [...]

Boone & Crockett Measuring Guide

2020-06-10T09:23:36-04:00April 22nd, 2013|BigDeer, Deer Hunting, Deer Management|12 Comments

The Boone and Crockett Club’s Field Guide to Measuring and Judging Big Game is a solid reference book, one I refer to a lot. It has good tips and advice for: 1) how to field-judge a buck better than you ever have on the hoof; and 2) how to rough score that rack reliably once you've shot a deer dead and have him back at the house.   There's info not only for whitetails and mule deer, but also for antelope, caribou, elk, bears…any big game animal you hunt. There’s even a chapter on judging and scoring a walrus skull if you ever do that :) At $25, a bargain for your bookshelf.
