It’s being said that the 85,000 jobs lost nationwide in December were worse than expected. That depends on whose expectations you’re considering. No surprise to me at all, in fact it’s better than I expected. In fact, I know exactly what Obama and his inner circle are thinking right now: “85,000 down, a hundred...

Here in California the state has decided that for most of the best hunting areas in the southern part of the state it’s necessary to use bullets with no lead content. They did this to protect the endangered California Condor. I certainly understand the reasoning behind this, but I have a problem with it...

I received an email alert from the NRA-ILA today detailing the latest efforts of The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) to take control of the land here in California.

In a previous post I talked about the hunting rifle I’d like to build, or have built as the case may be. I fully intend to go through with that at some point, but the truth is my next hunting rifle will probably be limited to the available budget, which is likely to be...

As I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, there are more reticle designs out there than could possibly be necessary. I’m going to try to make sense of all this, but to tell the truth I’m not really sure that I, or anyone else for that matter, can make real sense out of...

One of the things that has kept me going during these bad times is the idea of going hunting. I had hoped to go deer hunting this year, but circumstances just wouldn’t allow it. There’s always next year, besides, it’s always hog season here in California and we’ve got plenty of coyotes that need...
