    Posters to address VT shooting

    Take my name of the so-called "High Road" member list People are in shock over this event and victims are being tended to. And the first priority for the owner of this forum and his jump-on-the-wagon cronies is to figure out how make political hay of the event. Including a suggestion to...

    Norway chooses HK 416

    Total for all branches in peacetime, including civilian staff, is 30,000. In event of national mobilization for crisis or war, that increases to 130,000. Total for the Army is actually just 7500 right now (I think that's excluding civilians, but not sure.) Navy has 3700, Air Force 2000. The...

    Coyote attack on child in urban NJ gun free utopia

    Well, actually they do. The SUNY Coyote sheet lists a maximum weight record of 33.9 kg (74.8 lbs.) and mentions Adirondack records of 50-55 lbs. I'm pretty sure I've seen an account of a NY coyote taken recently that was upwards of 65 lbs. Western coyotes are generally smaller (although that...

    Norway chooses HK 416

    Ikke nordmann, men norsk-amerikaner. Here's a little more detail from the article. The Norwegian-made AG-3 (under license from Heckler & Kochs) has been Norway's standard military weapon since the 1960s. It went out of production 33 years ago. It has taken eleven years to select a new...

    Coyote attack on child in urban NJ gun free utopia

    Other than a cheap shot at a place you've never seen, what exactly was the point of characterizing this as an "urban NJ gun free utopia"? Middletown Township, NJ

    According to the VPC, gun ownership is dropping...

    The only people who would characterize the University of Chicago as a "liberal university" are those unfamiliar with its faculty's reputation among liberals. And, perhaps, Spiro Agnew.

    FFL licensee list

    FWIW -- I tried both those sites to see the results. First one turned up none, even when I entered known zip code of known FFLs. Second one turned up dozens within forty miles of me.

    Hunting Bear in Ontario for the first time.

    I was born in Duluth and grew up canoeing and camping in the Boundary Waters area that straddles the MN-ON border near your hunt. Blackflies and mosquitoes will be the least of your worries at that time of year. The blackflies will have diminished some by then, and the mosquitoes can be dealt...

    Mossberg ATR100 Rifle Review

    You won't need any add-on for a sling. Uncle Mike's Super Swivels work just fine with my synthetic stock .30-06. Haven't looked at any bipod attachments, so maybe someone else can respond to that question. And for the record, my .30-06 is amazingly accurate for the money as well. And for...

    Mitt "Elmer Fudd" Romney on the stump (but not a deer stand, apparently)

    Romney Redux With apologies to John Updike for the subtitle, but you gotta admit the pun is funny. (Or maybe the better metaphor is Alice in Wonderland? --watch below for the "jack rabbit exception," as Mitt runs down the hole and away from the game wardens.) 1.Jan. 10, 2007 : “The Glenn...

    Mitt "Elmer Fudd" Romney on the stump (but not a deer stand, apparently)

    Straight talk from a straight shooter, on his credentials to lead the country. Well, sorta straight at least -- "close enough" to the truth is OK, right? Romney calls himself a longtime hunter, even though he's only gone out 2 times "In a question-and-answer session Tuesday in Keene, N.H...

    New Hunter

    So, the link I gave you to the NH Fish & Game web site, which states the hunter ed requirement and displays the course schedule, was insufficient. As was the link another THR member gave you, in his response to your original post in the other thread. Anyone else who wants to spend time...

    This is the scenario that wounded deer dog tracking handlers train their dogs for, year around. You might find one available in your area, if it's legal in your state, at United Blood Trackers. This is a national organization, with roots in Deer Search, Inc. that is based in NY. If you can't...
