I have a college-aged daughter that asks to go hunting every few years. I think the last time we went was before the pandemic back when she was in high school. So this was going to be a fun trip. I gave her two options. We could sit in the blind at our place and watch for hogs or try open...

I had not thought about this in a while, but the topic came up last evening when my hunting partner, Ben, dropped a medium-sized (170 lb) sow that was pregnant with a whopping 14 fetuses onboard, all of which looked to be in good condition until mom had her upper spinal cord severed. I have...

Imagine for a second that for some reason, the cops have a warrant for your premises and they see you have a Liberty safe and want access to it. You don't give them the code to the safe. You are remaining silent as you were advised. The cops are otherwise unable to open the safe and so they...

Need help as this is out of my element. I need a 30 mm high return to zero scope mount for a loaner scope I will get to field in the next week or two (if all goes well - try before you buy deal). Front lens is 70mm, hence the high parameter. The RTZ aspect isn't absolute, but would be...

I can't say that I ever really expected to come under fire from off property why working in the bee yard, but it happened back in 2021. I had just finished mowing when I heard the first shot, but as I had on my hearing protection, I could tell the shot was louder than what I hear in the area...

This is a video from a buddy of mine down near College Station, Texas. He has the Brazos Valley Boars YouTube channel. They showed up to hunt a property and the landowner decided to come along and watch. The guy apparently hates hogs. There were hogs just a few hundred yards behind the guy's...

I believe it was in Stephen Herrero's book, "Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance," is where I read his stats on the potential for more aggression after being shot if not downed by the shooter. So this guy finds a big black bear boar bothering his chickens and so he shot it on Tuesday...

So I got a new, integrally suppressed upper, just need to do the transfer. Did a Silencer Shop Trust, did the kiosk thing, etc. and 1 year and 4 months later, the shop doing the transfer tells me nothing is there. They tell me that I need to start the process over again. This is my 3rd trip...

We all know what a Texas Heart Shot is. This is a little different. I have watched this shot over and over and find it hugely amusing. Those of you who have guided know that young or new hunters often offer up some surprising and unexpected results. Rembo has hunted before, but is still...

UW study found that over a 4 year period, twice as many handgun owners are carrying handguns now than were carrying at the start of the study. "Carrying" is defined as carrying at least once in the last 30 days. With that said, 38% of those who did carry in the last 30 days were noted to be...

I thought this was an interesting event. I can't find much information on it. An adult male relative (not sure of relation to boy) took a 9 year old moose hunting in Alaska as an observer. I think it is great that folks get kids involved with hunting and I have even loaned out my blind at my...

I have had the good fortunate of hunting with and using a variety of thermal optics from various manufacturers over the years. For the most part, I can figure out how any of them work without using the manual. They mostly all do the same basic things, just in different manners. Thermal scopes...

From the Department of Redundancy Department: Flew out yesterday to attend my daughter's college graduation. While waiting on my flight at Love Field in Dallas, I saw this sign on a bar kiosk INSIDE the terminal. Apparently, it is illegal for me to bring my CCW up to the Texas law regulated...

The small town (<5000 people) of Dumas, AR was hosting an auto show in promotion of non-violence in Dumas when a gun battle broke out. Yes, the juxtaposition is staggering. Be that as it may, violence did break out and a gunfight apparently between two individuals resulted in one dead and 28...

We have had a bunch of threads here that addressed this 2015 case of the conflict between theater goers that escalated from words to bag of popcorn throwing to gunfire by retired police SWAT captain Curtis Reeves. Well, apparently Reeves feared for his life (or so is claimed) and the jury...

I am putting this here because 99% of the people buying weapon mounted thermals are using them for hunting. I got a chance to take out a prototype thermal offered by Bering Optics. This is a really nifty thermal weapon sight that is supposed to be coming out this Fall. If you follow the...

I saw on another forum where one of the smaller ammo makers had some Grendel ammo in stock. I have been shooting their stuff for a while now, but this was a new bullet I had not tried and so was quite pleased when I managed to snag 2 boxes loaded with Maker Bullets 110 gr. REX. I got to the...

A Houston woman shot her own child via ricochet while trying to defend it from a "rampaging" 6 month old boxer 'puppy.' She fired 3 times. The dog was minorly grazed in one leg. The kid was hit in the abdomen...

Here is a guy with 40 years experience doing what he does, surveying, often in rural parts of Alaska. He has had experience with bears in the past. He knows others who have been mauled by bears. He carries a gun...sort of. So he is out surveying a property for a realtor when he and a bear...

I don't like hogs and I don't like hogs disturbing the wildlife on my place. So this boar was going to get shot, but I took the opportunity to get some additional video and what I saw really let me feel that much better about putting down the hog. The reaction of the deer to the whole...
