Ultimate Air-Travel Guide: How to Fly With Guns

admin2020-06-10T09:16:47-04:00June 22nd, 2016|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Hunting News, Remington|4 Comments

I have flown hundreds of thousands miles with hunting guns in the last 30 years, on all the major carriers and in tiny bush planes, to cities and small towns across the U.S and Canada. While I have had minor hassles (you can’t fly anywhere with or without guns without some grief) I have not, knock on a walnut stock, had a major incident with any airline or Transportation Security Authority (TSA) employee or officer. I have had 3 gun cases not make it to my final destination (knock wood harder) and those were only delayed a day. Three incidents in some 600 trips spread over 3 decades isn’t bad. The reason I’ve had good fortune: I know the rules [...]

Will a Doe with Fawns Attack You or Your Dog?

admin2020-06-10T09:16:47-04:00June 9th, 2016|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Hunting News, Predator Hunting|3 Comments

I saw a teaser for an article “Deer Relentlessly Attacks Woman” and naturally had to check it out. As the story goes, Cindy Frost spotted a weird-acting doe and fawn on her Ohio property two weeks ago. Since then, she has tried to avoid the doe, but it stares her down, becomes agitated and won’t leave her alone. Telling the story to a local TV reporter on the story, Cindy said dramatically, “I feel like I’m a prisoner. I can’t take my dogs out for a walk; I can’t even walk down to the end of my property and when I go to my car I’m looking all around.” Cindy says that last Thursday, she was out with her dogs [...]

Record Gun Sales Continue As Americans Fear Clinton Presidency

admin2020-06-10T09:16:47-04:00June 8th, 2016|Big Deer TV, BigDeer, Deer Guns & Loads, Hunting News|3 Comments

Over the past 7 years, a popular saying in the firearms industry has been, “Obama has been the best gun salesman we could have!” The President’s anti-gun rheteroic and actions have produced record gun sales that will no doubt continue, and likely increase substantially, as law-abiding Americans anticipate a win for Hillary this November. As this article in the Washington Free Beacon points out, “Both President Obama and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have publicly expressed support for Australian-style gun confiscation measures. Clinton has also said the Supreme Court was wrong on Second Amendment gun rights protections…” Let me repeat that: support for gun confiscation and wrong on Second Amendment gun rights. “There is no doubt that the string of record [...]

NRA Endorses Donald Trump for President

On Friday the NRA endorsed Donald Trump for President. This early endorsement of Trump (in a presidential election year, the NRA typically waits until much later in the fall to endorse a candidate) reveals how important the gun-rights organization feels this election will be. In a statement, NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox said: "The stakes in this year's presidential election could not be higher for gun owners. If Hillary Clinton gets the opportunity to replace Antonin Scalia with an anti-gun Supreme Court justice, we will lose the individual right to keep a gun in the home for self-defense. … So the choice for gun owners in this election is clear. And that choice is Donald Trump.” Moments after accepting the [...]

Vermont Deer-Poaching Couple

admin2020-06-10T09:16:48-04:00May 4th, 2016|Big Deer Stories, BigDeer, Hunting News|1 Comment

Wayne and Jennie Dion are not your typical deer thieves. Most poachers are young and misguided males, many of whom are into drugs. But the Dions, both well into their 60s, could illegally kill deer with the best of them. Several years ago Vermont Fish and Wildlife officials got wind of suspicious activity at the Dion property in Northeast Kingdom and began an extended investigation. Over time the wardens found well-worn deer trails leading from the woods to the couple’s backyard, which was hidden from the neighbors by a thick cedar hedge. The stunner: Wardens discovered a sliding port complete with a gun rest cut into the back of the house. Five spotlights were pointed towards the backyard, at the [...]
