    Bourjaily: How to Shoot From Station 8

    By Philip Bourjaily

    Now is the time of year when a lot of hunters shoot their annual round of skeet to tune up. When they get to station 8, the last shots on the field, they encounter birds thrown seemingly right at them at a million miles an hour. They miss, then grumble that station 8 replicates no shot you would ever take in the field.  I used to say the same thing until I learned how to make the shot. Now I love station 8. The video below is of me shooting from it.

    Discussion Topic: On Buying “Obama Tags”

    By Dave Hurteau

    Remember Rex Rammell? His name was all over this blog for a while in 2006 when the state of Idaho ordered that his escaped domestic elk be shot. Rammell was kind of vocal about that decision. And in case you’re wondering what he’s saying these days, here’s the latest from an AP Story on AOL News:

    Rex Rammell, a long-shot candidate slated to run against incumbent C.L. "Butch" Otter in the May 2010 GOP primary, [was at] a Republican rally Tuesday in Twin Falls where talk turned to the state's planned wolf hunt. . . .

    Do You Trust Commercial Airlines with Your Hunting Dog?

    By David DiBenedetto

    The day I picked up Pritch from the breeder I met a guy there who was also getting a pup. He was the captain of a large sport fishing boat that was moored in the Bahamas. He was also a pilot and intended to bring his dog with him when he flew to the boat aboard his private plane. Sounded pretty ideal.

    All Public-Land Deer Hunting DVDs

    By Scott Bestul

    I’ve been watching hunting videos for a couple of decades now and, for the most part, I consider myself a fan. While I won’t burn any hunting/outdoor (or other quality) time on watching other people hunt on TV, I’m happy to watch videos in the rare moments when I have nothing else going. And like many of you, I have my favorites; shows where the videography is great, the whitetails are pretty and the hunters portrayed seem like pleasant-enough individuals.

    Bourjaily: Gas Guns for More Doves

    By Philip Bourjaily

    I once mentioned to a southerner that in Iowa where I live, mourning doves are protected songbirds.* “Ain’t worth livin’ there,” he said. Every year, on September 1, I think he might be right. Unless I manage a trip out of state, I am stuck on the sidelines for the biggest opening day of the season, rooting for all of you who are lucky enough to live where doves can be hunted.

    Discussion Topic: On Pennsylvania’s Crossbow Rules

    By Dave Hurteau

    Crossbows will be legal during the Keystone State’s fall archery season. The only question is: How much of the archery season? In July, after having voted to allow them for the whole bow season, the state backpedaled and gave preliminary approval to a proposal that would limit their use to just the first two weeks.  Now, the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners is planning to hold a special meeting on September 3rd to make a final decision.

    Petzal: A Parting Thought on Senator Kennedy

    By David E. Petzal

    Now that the news is all Ted, all the time (which at least is a relief from all Michael, all the time) and the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy is on his way to being Saint Teddy, we should remember that he was an implacable enemy of the Second Amendment, and that there never was an anti-gun law he did not like. Kennedy blamed guns for his brothers’ deaths. The reality is a little different.
