    Pistol scope for visually impaired shooter

    My friend has advanced Retinitis Pigmentosa, I believe he has less than 5% of his sight left now. Thanks for the phone scope idea, I will be looking into that tonight.

    Pistol scope for visually impaired shooter

    I have a blind friend coming to town next week and he wants to do some shooting. I need to buy a long eye relief pistol scope for a rifle so I can be back over his shoulder and sight the gun for him. Anyone done this before? Suggestions on either the equipment or techniques would be appropriated.

    Funny Hunter Quotes/Lingo

    Remember hunting ducks and geese with my dad. He knew it was wrong but would say it anyway. "Get down, here comes a pair or lone'rs"

    What's on the smoker today?

    Double smoked ham with maple glaze. Admittedly good, not great.

    S&W Shield 380 EZ equivalents?

    The local range here in WI has what they call a "speed dating" night for the ladies only. They get to shoot i think 5 different guns out of the counter to get a feel for what they like and don't like. Perhaps you could find something local to you like that for her to try?

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Just listened to the whole WI DNR Web news conference from yesterday, a very good listen if you are interested in what some of the DNR folks think about the season. I found it a lot less editorial than the MJS article linked above. News Conference: WI DNR 2021 Wolf Harvest - Bing video

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Harvest quota was 200, 216 taken, 8% over, easy math. The tribes had the same season to harvest wolves as the rest of the state but the tribal harvest was always going to be ZERO, everyone knows that, it was a game. I can't believe I'm going to type this, but, intentionally or unintentionally...

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Looks like these are the final numbers as of 3pm today, 216 in 63 hours. Compare that with the report from 2012-2014 and it looks like WI hunters went to school on how to hunt wolves. If you dig into the reports for each year the 2012 to 2014 harvest was heavily slanted to trapping. I suspect...

    A poorly filmed wolf experience

    Just because you can do something does not mean you should do that said thing. But, kudos to you guys for going through with it! 0-9 survey speaks for itself, or 9-0, whichever way it goes. (y)

    A poorly filmed wolf experience

    This tag was on one of the wolves killed in WI yesterday. I suspect the tag is a generic tag typically used for tracking deer, elk, etc. But the guy that got the wolf laughed when he read the tag for sure...

    Wolves kill bear dogs in WI too. Apparently one of the dogs got attacked today by a wolf they ended up getting.

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Yes, we do take our deer hunting seriously. I do however think they are somewhat educated. I don't think that the last 3 days are the only time that some of them had been shot at in the last 7 years. Not saying it's right, just saying it's probably happened....

    Wisconsin Wolf kill reaches 50% of statewide quota after first day of season; DNR to close three zones

    Friend hunted near Bloomer WI with dogs and said he had a blast. Group took 3 all within 50 yards of each other over last 3 days. Group hunted hundreds if not thousands of acres that would not otherwise have been open to hunt anything. Land owners around here want them gone and got a chance...
