He is a very fit 75 years old After returning from six months into the deepest reaches of Tibet and the most remote parts of the Tribal Highlands of India, still tiger country, he returned to his family in our country's deep...- Mustangs Rule

Has nothing to do with hate, not at all. It is just that in so many ways the fish and game laws as drawn up do not themselves really respect wildlife or wild lands. They are based on old ideas and habits which have come down from ancient herding societies in which wild animals were being managed...- Mustangs Rule

You could pretty much guarantee that any policy that is good for wildlife and wild lands is going to be a hard pill to swallow for most current hunters. We are just at that point now and I do not have one bit of sympathy for those who object to doing what is upright. I am 77 and grew up when...- Mustangs Rule

Below is a link to a book on hunting, which i think is the best on the subject I have ever read. It was the only book on hunting the author ever wrote but he is highly regarded as a writer in other areas. In this 1993 book, He broke down hunters evenly into three groups: meat hunters, trophy...- Mustangs Rule

I believe that we can approach our life's decisions from two basically different stances. I will describe them metaphorically as being either up-right or upside-down. Let me offer some different examples. My mother's side of my family were dairy farmers. My father's side were residential...- Mustangs Rule

-I write this from two perspectives, one being a lifelong hunter and am now 77. The other being a field biologist and science educator having taught high school biology, chemistry, and ecology. Where I fish, the regulations forbid taking a native, non-hatchery trout over a certain size. Such...- Mustangs Rule

How has technology affected hunter sucess
Learning the now long-lost art of judging shooting ranges by “Subtending” with either a simple fixed power scope or fine front bead of iron sights worked “OK”. It allowed rough recognition of 50-yard increments from say 250 yards to 500 yards. Never needed a range finder but learning to subtend...- Mustangs Rule

Help, I need a new pronghorn rifle!
Ages ago when I lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming I walked into a pawn shop. An elderly woman walked out. At the gun counter, a man who turned out to be the owner was looking at an old rifle she had just bought in to sell on consignment. I asked to see it, picked it up and asked about it. She was a...- Mustangs Rule
