Student Loan Rifle
I married my wife six years ago and her wedding present to me was a SIGNIFICANT student loan balance - think med school but without a doctor’s salary. I love her, so we’ve busted our butts since then to pay them off and one of the ways I’ve kept from feeling resentful is the idea of buying a... -
Spring Break Hunting Trip?
I’m a high school principal in Michigan, and my spring break is the first week of April. I’m heading out to Sacramento to apprentice judge a NAVHDA weekend for the first few days, but my wife suggested seeing if there’s anywhere I could go on a hunting trip after judging (April 3-7). Any...- PawPawWPG

Rings vs Base
I just picked up an Anschutz .17 HMR from a friend this week and have a Leupold 4-12 on the way. This is my first nice rimfire rifle - looking to hunt squirrels and punch tiny holes in paper. Do I need to install a base on the rifle, or should I get integrated rings? Any suggestions on what I... -
RLO Henry No-Drill Sling
This is a no-drill sling for a Henry Big Boy rifle, along with a Shellholder for .45 Colt. It was made by RLO/Fiddleback. I don’t even think they’re taking orders for these anymore since each one is custom made. Works and fits great, but I didn’t really like the way looked with a sling attached... -

Any-Species Western Big Game Hunt - Season Advice?
I’ve been lurking here since June and planned my first out of state hunt with help from members here (pheasants and quail in Nebraska). I’d love to hunt big-game out west, but I’m a high school principal in Michigan and have a really structured work schedule. I get a lot of time off, so I’m not...- PawPawWPG

Upland Hunting - Omaha
My wife and I are visiting a military friend stationed in Omaha this Christmas season. It’s her friend, so the compromise was that I’ll bring the dog and my shotgun. Is there any decent upland hunting within three hours of Omaha? This is my first time hunting out of state for anything, so I’m...- PawPawWPG

New from Michigan
Hello! I’m from SW Michigan and grew up hunting whitetail on my parents farm. Just got a pointing dog this past year (Wirehaired Pointing Griffon) and spent last fall chasing grouse in northern Michigan. Can’t wait to head back up north, maybe to Nebraska this year, and eventually somewhere...
