(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) For now, the best thing to do for many is to “Get Out” escaping blue hives and get on productive land. I have been advocating that people move to lightly populated food producing rural areas in conservative states. I live in one and I am trying to increase the number of freedom loving people over here. There is safety in numbers. I realize how difficult it is to accomplish all of this. Whenever I talk with people who would like to live on a farm, the number one reason I hear is…

Ground was ceremoniously broken on the Wyoming State Shooting Complex (WSSC) on April 25 in an event befitting The Cowboy State, although shovels didn’t get the headlines. It was the M1 Garand used by U.S. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) to deliver the first official shot on the 2,000-acre site that got the attention—rightfully so. “This is a day that Wyoming will remember,” said Patrick Giles, WSSC CEO. “The shots heard round Wyoming weren’t just symbolic—they were a declaration. Wyoming is open for business when it comes to shooting sports, and we are going to…

Some lucky deer hunter will eventually shoot a whitetail with antlers bigger than those atop the buck Milo Hanson killed Nov. 23, 1993, near his Saskatchewan farm.With a certified score of 213-5/8 inches, Hanson’s 14-point buck became the world-record “typical” whitetail during the Boone and Crockett Club’s 1995 awards ceremony. It bumped a 10-point buck from the top spot it held since its 1971 entry. That buck scored 206-1/8 inches, and was shot by Jim Jordan in 1914 near Danbury in northwestern Wisconsin.No hunter, however, will ever tell a better, more modest hunting story about a world-record buck than the…

One of the hottest segments of the handgun market over the past several years has been that of the 2011-style handgun, which retains 1911 controls and feature sets while adding a double-stack magazine with greater capacity. At the same time, John Browning’s venerable 1911 design continues to be popular with the American shooting public, even 115 years removed from its development. Consequently, there is a host of new 1911s and 2011s available to today’s handgun enthusiasts, with each design bringing a unique feature set to the table.

Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. and Beretta Holding S.A. have announced a strategic cooperation agreement. This collaboration began last year as a contentious disagreement between the two companies—as of last March, Beretta Holding S.A., the Luxembourg-based parent of the iconic Italian gunmaker Beretta, had amassed a 9.95 percent stake in Ruger. To parry this, Ruger had adopted a one-year shareholder rights plan—commonly known as a “poison pill.” The poison pill, if Beretta or another stakeholder attained 10 percent or more of its stock, would basically have given options to others to purchase shares at a discounted rate, a defense strategy…

You learn a lot about turkey loads and shotguns after you send several dozen patterns down range in the name of research. For starters, I think I’ll stick to a 20 gauge next spring after putting my shoulder through the wringer. The devastating patterns from some of the 20-gauge loads also made that an easy decision.A few of these points might seem like no-brainers, but they still warrant explanation based on the findings. Regardless, all of these points should come as good news for hunters considering upgrades to their existing turkey guns. Here are a few things I learned from…
