We have a pioneer and cowboy living history event August 27 in LaGrange County. There are craft demonstrations, music, youth activities, evening square dance. We would love to have costumed cowboys, civil war folk, and other living history interpreters attend as characters in the log house...
Last Monday was my day. At sunrise I heard a great horned owl and moments later a gobble answered. At flydown he tried to head where the hens were roosted, but I called him back by alternating a box call and push button call. He took his time to cross the field to my decoys and strutted right in...
I have hunted turkey for years with shotgun. I am considering using the crossbow this spring. Is there a good reason to use a bow or should I stick with shotgun? I am not interested in guesses. I would like to hear from experience that has tried both.
I have a couple of EAA Bounty Hunter single actions. They shoot fine and I am thinking about dressing them up a little. Since it is basically a SAA clone, are the grips compatible with Colt SAA or Ruger Vaquero?
I got to wondering, if you wanted to could you keep one 1911 frame set up the way you like and change slide/barrel/spring to have a full size or commander depending upon need or mood of the day?

I am doing my homework about lever rifles for Cowboy Action Shooting. I am seeing a few rifles 24 inch barrel and most 20 inch barrel. Is there any real world difference in competition? I am trying to consider a gun purchase for dual purpose and would like the rifle to serve duty as a hunting...

Got my second deer ever on opening Saturday. At 4:00p he wandered into view, went behind a tree long enough for me to draw, and I was waiting for him on the other side of the tree. The family is excited about venison roast for Thanksgiving.
Youth do not need a license until they are 18. There are also free fishing days so the whole family can participate. The first is this Saturday, April 20. Then May 18 and June 1 and 2. If taking the kids fishing on days other than these, be sure to get a license.
Having duplicates of important documents is a great idea. Couple months ago I spoke with a helper after hurricane Katrina, he was on site for six months. He reported that the places that generate important documents also lost everything so you could not just copy a new birth certificate. He...
January 15-16 I am going to be promoting goose hunting with cooking programs. Do you have any favorite recipes or preparation for canada goose? My normal prep is to cube it, put it in a marinate overnight, and serve in a stir fry. Now I am ready for more ambitious recipes.
