Yes, but it’s not nearly the panacea you seem to think.

They are not that quiet, and goose effective loads, especially for nontoxic shot, are quite supersonic.

If you can legally hunt them, the suppressed shotgun is a nonissue.

Chicken/egg thing. If they think the guy is a threat to himself or others, he doesn’t meet criteria for discharge from the hospital. If he’s not a threat, how do you go to court and remove weapons? The down side is lack of hospital beds and staffing (and finances) and also it’s not against the law t...

Some new birds did finally come in with the wind… but the pressure drove them off the lake very quickly.

Not having a good retriever makes shooting in mud holes very painful.

I assume you think poorly of Trump. Misrepresentations and misinformation are either universally bad or they are not. I would have been happy with her statement until all the woke diversity crap had to be thrown in. Kind of detracts from the positive message re hunting, doesn’t it? I’m glad if more ...

So was the cortisol there because the deer was already dying, or because it was being sampled? (Usually you need to capture an animal to test it)? Cortisol being up in a stressed animal is kind of a go figure thing. You also should realize that time of day the sample is obtained is meaningful. Human...

She means to say that the Indians (aka indigenous folks) don’t hunt or fish? That more of them need to take it up? I thought they have both some of the highest rates (community wise) and tend to be some of the most successful. I’m glad the governor and lt governor are for hunting and fishing. It’s g...

So how many folks with teenage kids really think that they can absolutely lock guns in the house away from them? As I recall my teenage years, my siblings and I got in to everything. We knew where all the keys were, and could open everything and could easily have taken my dads back up old truck on j...

Don’t flip the spring loaded lever on a Henry type lever gun mag that is partially loaded. It may cause the spring to hit the cartridge hard enough to detonate a round in the mag even with RN/FP bullets.

Kind of depends on the exact circumstances. If the parents placed reasonable limits on the kid, and exercised reasonable due diligence then I doubt the case will go far. It sounds like this was an attempt to throw it out based on they didn’t commit the crime. This is the trouble with modern reportin...

Or the “forever chemicals” with use of various plastic pipes. I do think lead solder on copper pipes was an insignificant factor. Lead poisoning has drastically gone down in kids (the vulnerable population) over time with banning lead paint. All of these decisions are supposed to be made on factual ...

What do you think the comments on forever chemicals are? Does the amounts found even approach LD1? (Lethal dose in 1% of the population)? Note that most toxicology is based on LD50 numbers. The “news” is that we have detected them in game. Did we detect them because: Improved technology in detection...

As we get better at testing for things and having a “zero tolerance” policy, you are going to find more and more things like this. FYI, DDT is one of the safest and most efficacious anti parasitic drugs out there. We still use it in very limited situations and a human can literally drink the stuff a...

Teal season was reasonably good. Limited 2 days, got a couple the third. Duck opener was quite good. Mostly teal with a woodie and some mallards (local birds). This weekend was quite slow, but not skunked. My lab is getting old and had cancer, so he only gets easy days. Only real problem is all the ...

I took it as a sarcastic response- buy another brand.

I’m not a fetishist with regards to cleaning. At least not anymore. I used to do the disassembly and clean every time I shot them. Now I tend to either do it annually or when I start to see signs that it’s needed. I will occasionally clean my competition 1911 type guns to the point of pulling the ha...
