On June 2, Joelseph “Joe” Frank Jenkins, 48, of Pocatello, Idaho, was sentenced to two years behind bars and received a lifetime hunting ban after he pleaded guilty to two felonies and two misdemeanors. The felony charges included possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and unlawfully killing or possessing wildlife, while the two misdemeanors were illegally baiting black bears and guiding without a license.Jenkins’s sentencing comes after years of undercover work from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, which started in 2022. Apparently, Jenkins was conducting illegal baiting and guiding for black bears in Idaho’s Unit 67. During…

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just opened an investigation to “determine whether Philadelphia Police use a vague ‘good cause’ standard to cancel permits to carry legal firearms.” “I have directed the Civil Rights Division, through our Second Amendment Section, to defend law-abiding citizens from local authorities who infringe the right to safely carry legal firearms,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Law-abiding Americans, regardless of where they live, should not have to worry that their city will revoke their means of self-defense.”  In this case, the DOJ says its investigation is focusing on Philadelphia Police’s handgun…

Still figuring it out? 00:00:33 Speaker 4: Started May eleventh. But it seems like almost a glorified Troutway agent. 00:00:37 Speaker 1: But…

00:00:14 Speaker 1: My name is Clay Nucomb and this is a production of the Bear Grease podcast called the Bear Grease Render where we render down, dive deeper, and look behind the scenes of the actual bear Grease podcast. Brought to you by to Covi’s Boots. I’m a cowboy boot man and I’ve been wearing to Covis for years for the most comfortable boot I’ve ever put on. 00:00:36 Speaker 2: Good boots for good times. The world wouldn’t know it. 00:00:43 Speaker 1: But we are starting about fifty minutes late, okay, and we have some very distinguished…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: I don’t particularly enjoy reading the news these days. It’s always something sensational, always something bad. But what saves me when I get the good sense to put down my phone and take a step outside is wildness. Henry David Thurrow wrote that in wildness is the preservation of the world, and I think he’s right. But what exactly is wildness. It’s a tricky thing to pin down. What I can tell you is that I’ve seen it in the eyes of a mountain lion, lying on a branch twenty feet above my head, its tail swishing…

Some folks sneer at line extensions from firearm companies, and I’ve never understood that. Why on earth would you not want more options? Sure, sometimes it’s just a new frame in flat dark earth, but even then, why is having more choices a bad thing? The gun we’ve got here is another new chambering for Smith & Wesson’s M&P FPC line of folding carbines, and it’s a great one: 5.7×28 mm. It joins a growing line, from the original 9 mm to .22 LR, .40 S&W and 10 mm, each using the same magazine as their M&P handgun counterpart. The…

The 4 Patriots 72-Hour Survival Food Kit is misnamed. In terms of caloric requirements and nutritional value, it does not quite qualify as a 48-hour food kit. In terms of packaging, it would be best suited as a 24-hour food kit. The food is packaged conveniently for things like camping trips. But it is important to realize that the number of servings listed on each package is hopelessly optimistic. Double each serving size, and it will be just about right. Also make sure to take other foods to supplement the packaged courses. At the time of this writing, the kit…

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Considerations for Projectile Selection There are many different bullets and powders to choose from.  Given the very long throats of their chambers, we are mostly limited to heavier and flat based bullets.   Choosing the best projectiles for the antique Mausers will help us get the best all around results, quickly. For the purposes of hunting, I would like it to shoot no larger groups than 2 MOA with iron sights and that would limit my shoots to 250 yards if I had 20-20 or better vision and had the rifle on…
