The U.S. Fish and Wildlife (FWS) recently moved to confirm the delisting of the lesser prairie chicken, a rare and long-embattled species of upland bird. The action is the latest in a back-and-forth over whether the bird should be protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).The species of prairie grouse, which is distinct from the greater prairie chicken, is native to the central and southern Great Plains. It has lost roughly 85% of its range due to large-scale habitat loss and fragmentation, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The steep decline of the species’ range prompted the FWS to…
00:00:00 Speaker 1: I think training with other people, training with your spouse, training with the person you’re gonna hunt with, or going to a gym is incredibly beneficial. The accountability part of it, the pushing part of it, the community side of it, are really hard to replicate. When you’re doing it by yourself, you’re gonna push harder.

Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to be perturbed and moan about it. Frankly, I don’t care. To be clear, I’m not interested in the “plight” of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of “groypers.” I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive – They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they…
Today is the 75th birthday of Texas singer/songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey. He was born March 5th, 1951. He is best known for his songs Northeast Texas Women and Muskrat Candlelight (aka Muskrat Love.) The latter became a hit when it was covered by both the bands America and Captain & Tennille. Oddly, Ramsey only had one released record album. — This is also the birthday of Howard Pyle (1853-1911) an influential American book illustrator, painter, and author. He was the mentor of many great American artists including Thornton Oakley, Frank E. Schoonover, Allen Tupper True, and of course his most…

He explains in this video interview that what they call “Gatalog” is just hobbyists who found each other on the internet. They are not selling guns. They are talking about…

The mid-19th century was a period of great evolution for both firearms and ammunition, and the U.S. military reaped the benefits of these technological leaps. The Army would enter the 19th century equipped with a smoothbore flintlock musket that differed little from the designs of the past, and it would exit the century with a modern, bolt-action, repeating rifle that used smokeless powder ammunition. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” feature segment above to see how U.S. Army small arms evolved from the dawn of the Civil War to the beginning of the 20th century. “Of course, rifles had been used…
