How to Peacefully Co-exist with Local Canada Geese, or: My Favorite Skyrat Recipes
May 27, 2009Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have had existential questions on profound matters never quite answered fully or correctly. Questions about God, the afterlife, our universe, and Canada geese come to mind. First three are comparatively easy to answer, but mankind still wonders about Canada geese and why they exist. Most think they are here to fertilize every #%$*&^%# lawn outside a bank or shopping mall or playground sandbox. That may be part of it, but the main reason they are here is for us to kill the damned locust-like honkers with whatever means available (in season with a

>Pelican 1750 Gun Case vs Storm 3300 Gun Case
May 26, 2009I’m still working on my friend Jerry the instructor’s shooting package. His model 70 Heavy Varmint is lapped, recrowned, polished, mounted and ready to go.

Golf rangefinders are first priority rangefinders, meaning that they read the closer of two objects in the aiming area.

>Elk Hunting and Exercise
May 4, 2009This October I have two elk hunts scheduled. The first one starts at 9500 feet and I expect this hunt to be the most demanding I’ve ever attempted. I think I may just shoot myself before I go so I won’t have to trouble anyone to carry my body back down the mountain. I’m not the perfect physical specimen these days. Not that I ever was. But I take my hunting very seriously, and know I have to get back into shape, so I started working out this weekend. I entertained some friends last Friday, and by Saturday morning the
