  • Cold-Water Fishing - A PDF Could Save Your Life; Just Wear It!

    AZGFD|Jan 1, 2018

    Wear a life jacket when fishing from a boat in cold water - it could save your life, plus here are some good catching tips to snag a keeper this fall/winter. Nearly one-third of Arizona's boaters say fishing is their favorite activity to do while boating, and for many, fall is an ideal time of year to go out in search of that state record bass (or trout or catfish or ...). But, as the weather cools down, so does the water temperature. The U.S. Coast Guard reports that cold-water immersion and hy... Full story

  • SHOT Show 2018 Day 1

    Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    The show has officially opened and from what I understand, if you wanted to visit every booth you'd have just 22 seconds per booth. So we are trying to cherry pick, and concentrating on outdoor things not only for hunters, but also for campers, RV'ers, fishermen, and hikers. We've found plenty, and it's only lunch time! Right off the bat we visited the HydraPak booth. They make collapsible water containers in many sizes, for everything from a day hike to a long hunting trip. Our granddaughters... Full story

  • SHOT Show 2018 Day 2

    Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    Well, yesterday we put over 9 miles on our shoes at the SHOT Show, and today just a little less than that – because we had a couple of meetings and a press conference to go to. But it's so much fun seeing all the great products that we really don't mind all the walking. Of course, SHOT Show has tons of guns, and that means that there are also tons of accessories designed to help you shoot better. Up on the third floor of SHOT is an area called NEXT, where the companies who didn't make it into t... Full story

  • SB 880 Is Now In Effect

    James Larson|Jan 1, 2018

    January 24, 2018 - As of this morning, the law known as SB 880 is now in effect. The law bans certain mods on AR-15 rifles. You know, the really "evil features" like an adjustable stock and a pistol grip. When you read the law, it's completely ridiculous. And now a bunch of California gun owners are going to have to jump through hoops to make sure their AR-15 rifles are still legal. One of the most ridiculous parts of the law prohibits AR-15s and other so-called "assault rifles" from being... Full story

  • SHOT Show 2018 Industry Day at the Range

    John and Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    SHOT Show officially starts tomorrow, but if you're lucky enough to get an invitation, the day before the show starts is Industry Day at the Range. This is the day when the manufacturers set up at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club, which is an excellent facility near Boulder City, Nevada with tons of room for the over 200 manufactures who let us handle their new products. This is the day for actually shooting the latest guns and checking out the great new optics and gear. If you've read John's g... Full story

  • SHOT Show 2018 Day 3

    John and Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    Day 3 is in the books and the energy hasn't abated at SHOT Show. The aisles are teeming with people eager to see everything, talk to everyone, and learn something new. At times you can barely squeeze through the aisles, and occasionally you have to stand in line for while to handle the newest guns. But the people who work the booths are unfailingly kind and helpful, even though you know their feet must be killing them and they must be dog tired. SHOT Show people are the best. We spent a while... Full story

    WDFW|Jan 1, 2018

    OLYMPIA – State investigators have determined that an excessive buildup of mussels and other marine organisms on nets – caused by Cooke Aquaculture's failure to properly clean them – led to the August 19 collapse of the company's net pen at Cypress Island. An investigative report – authored by the departments of Natural Resources (DNR), Ecology, and Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) – found that 110 tons of mussels and plants had accumulated on the nets before the incident.

  • SHOT Show 2018 Day 4 – Final Day

    John and Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    Safety is huge at the SHOT Show, and there are always lots of companies with gun safety products to show. This year was no exception. The Allen Company has a new holster called the Swipe MQR (Magnetic Quick Release) holster that makes it easy for you to quickly access your weapon while keeping it safe from anybody wanting to walk up and take it off you. It works by using a patented magnetic system that releases in half the time as a regular snap – you clear the lock by "swiping" directionally t... Full story

  • Margie Anderson|Jan 1, 2018

    The Key To Success Is Being Versatile Back in the day, Wes McCracken was one of the best anglers on the All Star Bass trail. The key to his success: he knew that you have to be versatile to catch fish consistently. "Every lake is different, and every year it's different, too," says McCracken. One thing that he can count on most of the time, though, is a worm bite of some sort. "Finding the fish is the hard part," says Wes. "Figuring out what they want is simply a process of elimination."
