Uh oh… we all knew it was coming eventually. A wolf pack that includes both adults and pups was confirmed in a forested area of northern Union County on Friday, the first evidence of multiple wolves and wolf reproduction in Oregon since wolves were extirpated from the state back in the mid-1940s.

The Supreme Court has ruled, affirming what you, I, and the Founding Fathers already knew — the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right! While this is great news, this ruling is only as good as a future Supreme Court allows it to be.  The work of five Supreme Court justices today can very easily be undone by five Supreme Court Justices tomorrow–especially if those judges were to be appointed by an anti-gun President and sent to an anti-gun Senate for confirmation! It is expected that our next President may have the opportunity to appoint one, two, or maybe even three Supreme Court Justices! While you and I will never be able to directly vote to approve or deny a judicial nominee, we can make sure that those appointing... [SEE MORE]

Recently I was at my gunsmiths shop discussing the work he was doing for me. Like a couple pigs in mud we were rootin around the spare parts bins and grunting away about our latest exploits. The conversation turned to a discussion about a rifle leaned up against the wall that looked very much like my brothers, which had been stolen. The story on the gun is that some old gal owned it and brought it in for cleaning and repair. The rifle was loaded and the safety on the fire position! It wouldn’t fire so I guess why bother unloading it and putting it on safe. OK, so now we are discussing the condition of most guns he receives and part 3 of the equipment prep is born. A gun or weapon is a tool and tools need to be maintained, even a shovel.... [SEE MORE]

Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams I am not, however, I can usually hit the broad side of a barn if my target is close enough to it. Most people who bow hunt are pretty fanatical and know what they need to do and when to do it for hunting season. However, I have noticed we all seem to be a lot busier these days and we spend less time than we should or can with our equipment. I recently purchased a “new to me” bow and have been going through the set up and tune. What a pain this is; tying in nocks, peeps, drop away rests, sighting in, setting Center Shot, Axle To Axle, Brace Height, and Cam Timing. Good grief, I should just take it to the bow shop! Nope too stubborn and broke now that I have a new bow. Cabela’s credit card will definitely... [SEE MORE]

A special Web site offers waterfowl hunters up-to-date information about all four of North America’s flyways. The site, www.Flyways.us, a joint effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service, was developed by biologists and waterfowl manager across the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central and Pacific flyways. “This Web site represents an excellent way for waterfowl hunters to stay current on the latest news from the flyways,” said George Vandel, assistant director for the Wildlife Division of the S.D. Game, Fish and Parks Department. “Having this kind of extensive, science-based information available on one Web site will certainly help hunters, biologists and wildlife agency administrators.” The... [SEE MORE]

Equipment: According to Webster’s equipment: 1. the equipping of a person or thing. 2. the state of being equipped. 3. the set of articles or physical resources serving to equip a person or thing: as (1) the implements used in an operation or activity, (2) skip this part- something about farm stuff, (3) mental or emotional traits or resources. Well, I don’t know about you but I need to equipment myself with a pen and paper or computer generated list. The List includes anything and everything I need to do, pack, or check before heading off to the hills….banjo’s or banjo music is optional. So what I am babbling about this time is the need to get your STUFF out and make sure it is where you left it last (the wife may have... [SEE MORE]

A federal judge in Montana has ordered gray wolves in the Northern Rockies be returned to the endangered species list. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy granted a preliminary injunction Friday, July 18, 2008, restoring federal protections for the wolves. Apparently, he feels that the 1,400 documented wolves in the tri-state region of Idaho Montana and Wyoming is not good enough for the court nor the plaintiffs, when 300 wolves was the bar set by the federal government originally for delisting. This bar was originally supported by the plaintiffs. The Rocky Mountain wolves were delisted from the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earlier this year. Wolves were reintroduced into Idaho and the region beginning in 1995.... [SEE MORE]
