Just my opinion, but I really encourage you guys in particular, to not ignore the lady hunters and shooters. They’re a big part of the sport and some times I think they get overlooked and dismissed. I want to try and change that. I got to thinking about this last week after my wife got…
Quite the week….No trip to ND this year
This has been quite the week….and its only Monday. I guess in all fairness its been quite the past 10 days. All of this action involved hunting, shooting, knives, politics and …..Facebook. Their was a lot of good news mixed in with the disappointing. Let’s deal with the bad news and try to end on…
What’s in our future? VOTE!
Elections have consequences and the 2020 Presidential election is no exception.
Knives, Hunting, Cooking and Canning
The last week has been a blur of knives, hunting, cooking and canning. First the knives. It made me sick to realize I’ve misplaced my Fallkniven folding knife. That U2 Folder was one of my favorites. Lightweight and compact to carry with a blade that held an edge incredibly well. We tipped the house upside…

Haircuts, back to the basics
I was sitting on the deck a couple of days ago enjoying a cup of coffee and a cigar while getting my haircut. Yup, my wife cuts my hair and we both get to enjoy the great outdoors. In this modern day of social distancing, we’ve all modified our lives. Letting my wife cut my…
No Shooting today
Big disappointment, no shooting today. We had plans for a little more training this afternoon but it was cancelled due to illness. Our instructor and his family took ill and we’re all hoping its not the dreaded virus! This has gotten to be a major source of entertainment in our household. Most days either include…
Winds of Change are upon…me
I have to admit, the winds of change are truly blowing. It’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere near what you’d call ‘active’ when it comes to keeping up the blog. Over the years it went from being called the GEC Blog to the TSA Blog where I tried to focus primarily on…
