Prime Times for Fishing (and Hunting)

This is undoubtedly the easiest to use and most informative ‘prime time’ tool I’ve run across.  The ability to look at wind, sunshine, precipitation, and humidity, along with the sun/moon phased ‘prime time’ calendar, makes it supurb. US Prime Times

First Hog

Well, a noob at this, bit I still settled down and made the shot count. I saw the group trotting along at about 80 yards, so I had the opportunity to drop prone and put down the bi-pod legs. (1st noob mistake – can’t track running hogs with a bi-pod.) Got the rifle up on …

A Thanksgiving Tradition Remembered

I never thought it would happen in my lifetime, yet last year the entire Thanksgiving weekend went by and I never once heard the playing of “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” on the radio.  Whether you were anti-war or not (and I was not), the song was/is a classic.  So for those of my generation that want …

As mentioned in the forum thread, the technique is described fully in a ‘Guns Magazine’ article from April of 1956.  The full magazine …

2013-09-22 Field Report – New CZ 452 Ultra Lux in .22 LR

Well, I sold my CZ 452 Military Trainer in .22 LR and replaced it with an Ultra Lux.  The Trainer shot great and with so many great reports I was hoping that I wasn’t trading down.  But as I’m really enjoying offhand shooting with irons I wanted the longer sight radius the Ultra Lux offers. …

I stumbled across a kindred site today.  The gentleman knows much more of the outdoors than I.  His site is worth a visit.  LyndenHuggins.com

2013-08-25 Shooting at Rudy’s

My wife really does love me!  So we got home from our Anniversary fishing trip and get-away in the middle of the afternoon.  We did a few things around the house and then relaxed.  Jean was going to head over to some friends to help with some post surgical care and spend the night.  So …
