So, I recently had the pleasure of attending “Plinkapalooza” at Range Ready in Robert, LA; you might recognize this as the home range of the Gun Talk crew. “Plinkapalooza” was designed to be a celebration of everything rimfire; we had handguns, carbines and rifles in everything from .17 HMR through .22 Mag., with a heavy emphasis on .22 LR.

Medical needs I don’t often have to call a vet, but establishing a relationship with a large animal vet is crucial.  If you don’t have a relationship, you will have a terrible time getting help when you need it.  It’s worth it to spend money with the Veterinarian.  I use them for my cats and dogs, as well as my cows.  We are on a first name basis now.  I needed them when my first cow went down hard with milk fever.  I know how to prevent that now.  I needed them…

Despite the warning “we’ll sue” to protect the very commonly owned AR-type rifles—often called “America’s rifle”—issued by both the NRA and the U.S. Department of Justice, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) signed Senate Bill 749, which will make it illegal to sell, purchase, import, manufacture or transfer this legislation’s definition of “assault firearm” starting on July 1.  The NRA, along with the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation and two NRA members, immediately filed a lawsuit challenging this unconstitutional ban of commonly owned firearms. The case, McDonald v. Katz, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District…

They’re perfect for those late-season whitetail hunts when you need to layer extra socks, run some toe warmers, and keep your scent to a minimum. But, they’re also necessary if you spend a lot of time in warm, swampy conditions. Unlike application-specific boots, you can use a good uninsulated pair all year round.However you use them, rubber boots should keep your feet dry above all. Over the past few decades I’ve had the opportunity to hunt with and test the best rubber hunting…
