At the urging of police, the [Cedar Rapids] City Council has made it a misdemeanor offense to carry a loaded BB gun, air gun or pellet gun in the city limits. Juveniles cannot have the guns at all, loaded or unloaded, unless they are under adult supervision.
I agree that nobody should need one in public but kids like to have air-soft gun wars in my neighborhood, and the pellets dont have enough power to do any damage.
The legend goes something like this: Ernest Hemingway and a companion were sitting in a bar somewhere (As Hemingway was wont to do) when a bet was made. Hemingway's companion, the story goes, challenged him to write a complete story in six words (or ten, the details vary with the telling) or less.
The result was a masterpiece of brevity that reads thusly:
We found the carcasses at 11 in the morning. The Zimbabwean sun had mummified them in the positions of agony in which they died. There were six, a young sable cow and five impala, spaced in a line 200 yards long. Their killer was the principal author of death and suffering among Africa’s wildlife, the poacher’s snare. They had been grabbed by the neck or the leg or the body and had perished from thirst and hunger and exhaustion. Whoever set the snares had never come back to collect the bodies while they were still usable as meat.

A lot of you will disagree, some of you perhaps vehemently, but “instant choke selection” is the most overrated advantage of two-trigger guns. On the whole, hunters worry way too much about choke, and they tend to overestimate yardage in the heat of the moment anyway. I always remember my first pheasant hunt with a friend who is a classic side by side shooter and a very experienced uplander. I kicked a pheasant up over his pointer, and, as it was my turn, I waited to let it get out far enough to shoot with my Improved Cylinder 12-gauge. When I finally shot, so did he.
Believe it or not, there was once a Field & Stream editor who had a morbid fear of squirrels. I used to ask to her: “What the hell is a squirrel going to do to you?”
It started beside a rack of low-priced rods and a display of lures in a sporting-goods store. The selection was skimpy. But to my sons, Jack, 6, and Mick, 4, this was a portal to a secret world. For two years they had been stuck in a city. Now their fishing lives were about to begin. They wanted to know everything.
What is this? A swimming plug. And this? A jig. What do you catch on jigs?
Felons who think their criminal past shouldn't keep them from having the right to hunt are getting some attention in the state's and nation's capitals.
A Western North Carolina business owner told state Rep. Phil Haire his convictions for breaking-and-entering and larceny, stemming from a decades-old theft of copper wire, keep him from hunting.

Great story, I cant imagine stalking that mad cape buffalo through tall grass like that.

Is a lizard spinnerbait a good choice for spawning bass?

Im only thirteen and dont have an double barrel shotgun, but how do you keep from pulling both triggers and getting a sore shoulder?

If someone snapps and commits a crime, what is there to stop them from doing it again? Use a bow if it really want to.
