HSUS Can’t Stand the Heat
On Friday, sparks flew on Alan Warren Outdoors, a Texas-based radio show. HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle went on to explain his organization’s position on hunting and fishing. Warren, a hunting advocate, pressed Pacelle hard on what kind of hunting HSUS supports. And then we called in to debate Wayne about his animal rights group’s deceptive practices on the whole.
You’d think a slick politician like Pacelle, especially given the size of his ego, would be happy to try to talk his way around our criticism of his organization. But instead, he spouted off a few insults and then hung up.

Put Some Spark in that Muzzleloader
By Glen Wunderlich
Since my old reliable Knight Revolution muzzleloader never needed much tweaking to be ready for the season opener, waiting until the last week didn’t seem problematic. On hand were a supply of Barnes bullets and fresh Triple 7 powder and primers from last season, which were stored in a sealed plastic bag. An upgrade in power with a new Leupold scope meant there’d be some sighting in. But, that would be the case anyway – new scope or not.
Boresighting had the first shot on the paper, but with more shooting came less confidence. Shots were all over the place and then it got worse: A misfire! Read more
