Michigan DNR released a statement on Monday, April 27, stating that the eagles were found between April 3 and April 17 in the Garden Peninsula.A single dead eagle might not sound any alarms, but five of them in the same area suggests something more suspicious.“This is something that’s not normal at all,” Brian Roell, Large Carnivore Specialist at the Michigan DNR, told My UP in an interview.In the original press release, Michigan…

00:00:02 Speaker 1: There’s a moment in every confrontation when someone decides whether to walk away. On a piece of hunting land. Just outside Tallahassee, that moment came and went an argument over access, over rules, over who belonged, and then gunfire. When it was over, one man lay in the road while the other disappeared. Now the dead man’s friends and family are trying to pick up the pieces as they wonder how such an everyday argument turned so deadly, so quickly. That’s next on Blood Trails. This is a story about three hunting buddies. It didn’t make national…
Every shooter has two grips living inside them, and most never realize it until they are exposed by a timer. One grip is built for applause, the sub-second draw, the clean first shot, the illusion of total control. The other is built for consequence, the second, third, fourth and everything that comes after recoil starts demanding enduring muzzle control. The problem is a majority of shooters only train one of them, and it’s the wrong one. You see it all the time. Clean presentation, lightning hands, gun gets out, sights flash, pew. It looks good. It feels good. The timer…
00:00:00 Speaker 1: What is going on? 00:00:00 Speaker 2: We’re back with another episode of Back forty. I’m your host Jake Hoefer. In this week, we’re diving into this whitetail dilemma of a serious tear hunter that sometimes people fall into the traps where you do all these different things, you work really hard, but you’re not necessarily seeing the results that you’re hoping to see. 00:00:18 Speaker 1: And so is this a behavioral thing? Is this doing too much? 00:00:22 Speaker 2: Is this not realizing as the harder you work, your goals also evolved. And we…
00:00:00 Speaker 1: I actually think a lot of I would say a lot of people probably under prepare. And then they do go out and they hike for eight ten miles a day, maybe for five or six days in a row. 00:00:12 Speaker 2: They go all, why is my back hurts? 00:00:14 Speaker 1: Say, well, you haven’t trained in those shoes, you haven’t walked that far, if you haven’t worn a pack that heavy, so like, yeah, of course your lower back hurts. You’ve been carrying forty pounds every day out here. 00:00:27 Speaker 3: The…

Several months ago, I drove out to a place to hike and bike here in New Mexico. The last four miles of the trip were on a dirt road. Some parts of the road were in such bad shape that it seemed like I was driving over an old-time washboard. I slowed down for those portions of the road, but evidently I didn’t slow down enough, for my car started leaking oil and transmission fluid shortly afterwards. I didn’t hit anything in the dirt road; it was the vibrations from driving over those portions that caused the leaks. These definitely…

I am a huge fan of anything .45-caliber, especially single-action revolvers. I have five Ruger Blackhawk revolvers in different barrel lengths, all chambered in .45 Colt, two of which have extra cylinders chambered in .45 ACP. Since .45 ACP ammunition is more plentiful for me, I shoot more of that cartridge than I do of the .45 Colt. I contacted Ruger’s customer-service department to inquire about obtaining .45 ACP cylinders for my three revolvers that only came with the .45 Colt cylinder, but was told in no uncertain terms they didn’t provide that service. The expense of having cylinders made…
