After Saturday’s 2014 High Plains Shooting and Dining Society Dove Hunt guys who had just a few doves donated them to David McElyea. David and I got them all cleaned up, breasted and chilled down so they could fit into his small, pre-chilled fabric cooler for their flight on Southwest Airlines. No ice, no cold […]
We had a wonderful turnout for Dove Eve Dining and the Dove Day Shoot however it was too bad the doves did not receive the message, they did not show up as expected. The reasons for the sparseness of doves was probably due to several factors including the number of days since the opening on […]

Whatever your age remember to have the issuing person ask you the H.I.P. questions about how […]
The Guns of August is a posting on a nifty gun blog, Weaponsman, that include gun in a bra, THAT GOES OFF, cleaning a gun THAT GOES OFF, taking a selfie with a gun to the head, THAT GOES OFF. Of course none of these things were supposed to happen but they did. A few […]
The Air Force, great airplane drivers and maintenance and good for bringing a big batch of hurt to the bad guys from the sky, not so great for ground pounding with the grunts. I went through a ten day jungle warfare school in the snow and ice in Massachusetts in 1967. We had about 8 […]
