Microstamping Fails (Again), HSUS Campaigns Against California Hunting Dogs

Microstamping advocates have once again failed to get the fallacious science introduced as a requirement for firearms and ammunition sold in New York…yesterday, a joint New York state budget committee voted on a revised state budget that repealed the ballistics-imaging requirement from state law. It’s another example of legislators listening to their constituents and eliminating bad legislation.

Raining Crows

By Glen Wunderlich

A business associate once told me that advice was only worth what one pays for it.  Well, here’s some advice that breaks that mold.

L-R, Matt, Shawn, and Glen and crows

When it comes to crow hunting, I’ve tried it all, but until recently, nothing seemed to help significantly.  Magnum hand-brewed shotshell loads worthy of bringing down orbiting space junk didn’t improve results.  Extra-full chokes, same thing.  Bags of motionless decoys?  Leave ‘em home.  The owl decoy everyone seems to want to interject into the action?  Not necessary.  Mouth-blown crow calls?  Good luck learning the language.  Heavy shot?  Save it for turkeys.

But, after years of experimenting, there appears to be promise for my crow-hunting comrades, Shawn Weaver, Matt Arnold and me, because our results have improved since we began our three-man hunts. Read more
