Sometimes it would appear that even a conservative and 2nd Amendment supporter can get things wrong. A concerning piece of legislation was just introduced by Georgia Representative Andrew Clyde (R). This legislation entitled the Return Act (Return our Constitutional Rights Act, H.R 8167) would repeal the Pittman-Robertson excise tax. Generally, any tax repeal would get two thumbs […]
Carbine Self Defense Principles
I am fortunate to live where carry of a firearm in a vehicle is not a legal concern and therefore routinely have a carbine readily accessible in my car and home at all times. Most defensive mined people who are serious about self-reliance have a handgun prepped and ready around the house, in the car […]
Four Big Game Hunting Cartridges
Over the last 50 years or so I have been fortunate and blessed to have hunted big game from Alaska to Africa and parts in between. During these hunts I have pursued and taken said game with everything from .22 Magnum (feral hogs only) to .458 Winchester Magnum. I have written in the past of […]
How Sportsmen and Women Can Give Back

How To Be A Responsible Hunter
Over the last few months, you have read several postings from me on hunting everything from Javelina to Oryx.

If you are reading this, perhaps you are new to the sport and are […]
Be Prepared, Stay Prepared
A pattern of harsh weather events such as tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and concerns over unstable governments and military actions on a global scale continue month after month. Any of these threats can strain or even collapse supply and power grids and your ability to be self-sufficient. My intent is not to create fear or […]
