NSSA-NSCA Launch Online Forums

SAN ANTONIO – The joint organization of the National Skeet Shooting Association and National Sporting Clays Association (NSSA/NSCA) announce new online forums for members with the goal of sharing accurate and unbiased information about their sports while stimulating camaraderie worldwide.

The new NSSA/NSCA forums arose from an agreement between the NSSA/NSCA and Shotgun Life, the first online magazine dedicated to the best in wing and clays shooting. Under the arrangement, Shotgun Life has donated the software, hardware, and technical support to resume the organizations’ forums, which have been dormant for over two years, as part of the online magazine’s 10 shotgun forums.

The forums are available by visiting www.shotgunlife.com and clicking on the Forum tab at the top of the page. NSSA and NSCA will distribute specific instructions to their members for registering and logging on to the forums.

“With the next generation of shooters becoming much more active in skeet and sporting clays tournaments, it was time to once again bring a meaningful exchange of information to our members around the world,” said Don Snyder, Executive Director of the NSSA/NSCA. “Shotgun Life came to us with a generous proposal that helped us accelerate our goals of using the Internet to help unite our members in an online global community.”

“It’s an honor to be underwriting the NSSA/NSCA forums,” said Irwin Greenstein, Publisher of Shotgun Life. “As a free, online magazine, our intent is to break down the barriers of entry to participating in the shotgun sports. Our support of the NSSA/NSCA forums is in complete alignment with the goals of these two tremendous organizations that have enriched the lives of so many shotgun owners.”

Scouting the Upper Country

With temperatures pushing the mercury into triple digits in our part of the country, it seemed a good time to head to the mountains for a cool down, but really it was an excuse to get a jump on game movement in our newly found hunting grounds (thank you Google Earth).

My brother, Todd, and I had stumbled into a large pond while elk hunting last year and noticed it was full of sign all around it – and located in an ideal spot.  We knew this was a spot where we would spend some time this year, but the plans to spend a week on a backpack hunt in the area started a few months after last year’s archery season ended. Our cousin, Cody Waldo, called me up and started to tell me about a spot he’d found on Google Earth that looked liked a prime spot for an above timberline deer hunt. He started describing it, and pretty soon I realized he was talking about the same area near the pond Todd and I had stumbled into and discussed hunting.  That started the ball rolling and this spring we decided we’d put an honest hunt into it – Cody with an out of state deer tag, and Todd and I trying our luck for deer and elk both.

Summertime, for the western bowhunter, is an ideal time to hit the mountains for scouting as the deer are on their summer patterns – the same patterns they’ll be in for the first couple weeks of archery season before they start their annual slow and steady migration out of the hills. Add in the fact that the high country is looking at conditions fit for living even in July and August, and it’s a perfect time to escape the valley’s furnace and call it ’scouting.’ I can’t pretend to know enough about elk and their patterns this time of year, but it seemed from all the elk tracks up there that elk are already in the area.

We had to race against daylight on Friday night as we had to wait on yours truly to punch out from his day job. As we hiked past the waterhole Todd and I stumbled into and continued on towards the peak new country unveiled itself at each step. The ridge leading to camp was full of knee high grass and foilage – and water was everywhere. There were several natural saddles that were nothing more than giant elk wallows waiting to happen. If I had any shame at all I’d not mention the fact that three grown men high fived over this discovery. When we topped out and laid eyes on the canyon we’d spent all summer virtually learning, it was far above and beyond our best dreams.

When we had been planning the trip, I was telling Todd over the phone I was packing my sleeping bag, but he convinced me that he was just bringing a blanket as a sleeping bag was just added weight. As we unrolled our packs at camp, Todd casually mentioned he saw the weather report for a relatively close town at the same elevation showed the temperatures dipping into the low 40s. My ears perked and I told him, “Well, looks like you and I will be freezing tonight!” Todd looked at me and chuckled, “Not me, I packed my sleeping bag after I read that!”

Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well that night because I was…well, freezing. If I can have one free feeling of malice, I can take comfort in knowing Todd didn’t sleep well, either. So it was no surprise that we got up well before dawn. We went over the ridge and set up on the edge of the drainage to wait for the first streaks of light to change the color of the sky and give us a look at the country we’d been dreaming about for several months. I was thinking there would be deer all over, so was a little dissapointed when, all told, all that we saw was a forked horn, six does, and one nice buck.  Despite elk tracks aplenty, we never saw a single elk. Cody had to remind me that with the hot weather, the deer and elk would both be limiting their movement and there’s a good chance they were moving around mostly at night. It’ll be interesting to see what the next month brings to that country.

Despite the lack of game sightings, we accomplished some essentials – such as finding water, a camping place, and the simple fact of getting to really see the country in person.  We got an idea of where we want to be at first light on opening day after finding out the sun didn’t rise exactly where we thought it would after looking at it on Google Earth.  With the flowers in full bloom, turning the scenery back to a spring setting, it was certainly a trip well worth it!

Frankly My Dear, I don’t Give a Damn!

In this day, some say sex sells everything. I have been involved in some interesting discussions with both men and women about that very subject. We discussed such things as hunting or fishing product and sites using “Booth Babes” and scantily dressed women, to promote their products and or some of their outdoors sites.

Websites, and companies that say they are now welcoming and encouraging women and kids into their outdoor community, are using these beautiful half naked girls to sell their sites/products to whom? I know as a woman it just irritates me and I certainly would not send the kids to get a peek!

I have found some really great websites that I would like to frequent, and because of these pictures, I do not. In turn I don’t promote these sites to anyone else either, male or female. I would like to join the e-mail updates on one website, but I am afraid I will get the “Model of the Year Calendar”. In turn I will not stop at the booths, featuring half-dressed, well endowed bimbos that know nothing about hunting or fishing, at the trade shows, no matter how great their products are. It’s so demeaning.

It’s not that these girls aren’t beautiful, they certainly are gorgeous. I am sure a lot of these “chicks” work very hard or pay dearly to have bodies like that. These pictures would be great shots for Maxum or some other men’s fantasy magazines.

It’s that women have worked so hard to be seen and treated as equals in our industry and it is like a slap in the face to see how some companies still portray the women that hunt or fish. These pictures do not encourage women to participate in the outdoors. It sends a message that women are only good at one thing, and it isn’t our sport. More times than not those using this selling tactic turn away a good majority of the women they are trying to recruit to use their sites or products. These customers leave in silence never to return.

Women usually don’t want to make waves so they stay quiet even when offended. They do however, keep it stored away. I happen to be one of the more vocal women about this subject, and when I mentioned it on Twitter, it started a “flurry of fury”. On this particular day these gals had had enough and all that had been stored came brewing out.

On the other hand, I had some of the men say to me “They didn’t hold a gun to her head” or “You’re just jealous.” Those guys are missing the point. I agree that those girls have every right to sell their goods to anyone who wants buy them. Am I jealous? Sure, I would love to still have the body I had at their age. But the point is, even when I had a body like that, nobody ever knew it, when I was hunting or fishing! It’s about hunting and fishing not the “chick”!

I don’t want to look at women in bikinis or underwear, making women that hunt and fish look stupid, every time I check out new hunting gear or go to chat with someone that hunts. This is what real women hunters look like! http://www.campwildgirls.com/photo-gallery/

I know that this post may upset some people that like the “Booth Babes” and the risque pictures and…Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!

Obama Takes on Hunting

Obama Regulatory Czar’s Confirmation Held Up by Hunting Rights Proponent
by: Fox News

WASHINGTON — President Obama’s nominee for “regulatory czar” has hit a new snag in his Senate confirmation process — a “hold” by Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who’s says he’s not convinced that Harvard professor Cass Sunstein won’t push a radical animal rights agenda, including new restrictions on agriculture and even hunting.

Senators are permitted “holds” to prevent a vote on a nominee from coming to the floor. They are often secretive and for very specific reasons.

“Sen. Cornyn finds numerous aspects of Mr. Sunstein’s record troubling, specifically the fact that he wants to establish legal ‘rights’ for livestock, wildlife and pets, which would enable animals to file lawsuits in American courts,” the Republican’s spokesman, Kevin McLaughlin, said in a statement to FOXNews.com.

Cornyn’s hold on Sunstein comes just as Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., last week lifted his own hold on the nominee, whom Obama tapped in April to become the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Budget and Management.

Chambliss said he was dropping his hold because Sunstein had convinced him that he “would not take any steps to promote litigation on behalf of animals,” and that he believes the “Second Amendment creates an individual right to possess guns for purposes of both hunting and self defense.”

Both statements were included in a letter Sunstein sent to Chambliss on July 14.

Chambliss added in a Senate floor speech last Wednesday that “Professor Sunstein comes highly recommended by a number of folks from the conservative side of the philosophical divide in this country.”

One of Sunstein’s top jobs would be to review and provide guidance for draft federal regulations at different federal agencies. It is a wide-ranging and largely unrestrained position in the executive branch.

That’s a large part of the reason Sunstein’s positions on animal rights have become worrisome to his critics. Despite his assurances to the contrary, Sunstein has spoken stridently in favor of allowing people the right to bring suit on behalf of animals in animal cruelty cases and to restrict what he calls the more horrific practices associated with industrial breeding and processing of animals for food.

In a 2007 speech at Harvard, Sunstein also advocated restricting animal testing for cosmetics, banning hunting and encouraging the general public to eat less meat.

The Center for Consumer Freedom’s David Martosko, a Sunstein critic, said those positions make the agricultural industry — major stakeholders in the states represented by both Chambliss and Cornyn — nervous.

Martosko said there are plenty of ways to pursue a “stealth campaign” on any one of these fronts — guns or animal rights — by putting pressure on the regulatory heads of the different agencies.

“He is the gatekeeper between the president and the secretaries,” he said, noting that “as a regulatory czar, he won’t be a judge or a legislator, so he cannot make laws. … What he can do is nudge the departments in the direction of his philosophy,” which is very much in line with “hard core animal rights zealots.” [Read the rest of the article]

Hunting Clothing for Serious, Dedicated Women Hunters

Anne Vinnola says: “Just ask any woman hunter, and she will tell you, the most difficult part of hunting? Her wardrobe. Finding well fitting, hard working, layerable, hunting pants and shirts.  Some mainstream clothing companies are slowly beginning to work women’s sizes into their lines, but mostly they are cut like a man and just sized smaller.”

As a woman, I am always trying to find resources tailored for women. I constantly battle the cold because of having a thyroid problem. I decided to do some research on ways to keep warm and here is what I found!

According the Wikapedia, layered clothing is a manner of dressing using multiple garments that are worn on top of each other. Some of the layers have different, largely non-overlapping, functions. Using more or fewer layers, or replacing one layer but not others, allows for flexible clothing to match the needs of each situation. Two thin layers can be warmer yet lighter than one thick layer, because the air trapped between layers is a good insulator

Layered clothing is particularly relevant in cold climates, where clothing must at the same time transfer moisture, provide warmth, and protect from wind and rain. In a hot and dry climate, clothes have very different functional requirements: they must block the radiation from the Sun, and allow for sufficient air circulation. Therefore, layered clothing in the sense used in this article is largely irrelevant to hot and dry climates.

Outdoor and sportswear manufacturers favor layered clothing because, among other reasons, it allows them to offer so-called “technical” or “functional” clothes which are optimized for the particular demands of a specific layer. Such clothes are often made of advanced synthetic materials.

With that being said I was on a quest for clothing that not only kept me warm but was made for a woman and had many thin layering options. Impossible you say? I thought so too until I ran into Kirstie Pike from Próis^TM Hunting Apparel.

Kirstie states “Próis^TM Hunting finally answers our “Quest” for great Women’s Hunting Clothing and Gear. Throughout our years of hunting, we at Próis^TM were amazed at the fact that there was literally nothing on the market for women who hunt.”

 

This “Quest” for Women’s Hunting Clothing soon became an obsession; they thought women’s huntwear must be something of a myth! While they attempted to avoid sounding like a frustrated feminists, they found it unreasonable that successful women hunters could not find appropriate gear for their sport.

 

Simple concept, the Próis^TM Hunting team thought; Combine technical hunting components, functional fabric and an athletic composition, and unite it with patterns that are engineered to the female form…Voila, Próis^TM Hunting Apparel!

 This new women’s hunting clothing concept takes layering to a new art form. The Próis^TM shirt is a cross between the finest athletic wear, and a comfortable favorite shirt. Polyester wicking fabric keeps moisture from your skin and allows you to stay dry and warm.  Thumbholes help the shirt to stay in your gloves and it is perfect alone for cool fall mornings of archery or layered for those cold winter rifle hunting trips. 

 

Próis^TM Hunting Pants are crafted using 100% polyester brushed tricot for warmth and durability. They are snag resistant and silent in the woods.  Each pair is fitted just below the waist for comfort and fits a woman’s form perfectly.  There is plenty of storage room in the deep cargo pockets and thoughtfully pleated knees for kneeling comfort. They are boot cut to fit over bulky hunting boots with elastic cuffs and cord lock to cinch close to your boot. Add in their vests, jackets and rain gear and you are set for all occasions.

 

Próis^TM Hunting Apparel is taking the industry by storm with their “made FOR women” hunting clothes.  Women are not interested in merely looking like hunters; we are hunters that demand the best quality hunting clothing. We fully understand that fit, warmth and durability makes a huge impact on our hunting success.  Próis^TM Hunting Apparel is serious clothing for serious, dedicated women hunters.

Team Huntress Outdoor Adventure Clinic

 

Just because a woman wants to learn outdoors skills doesn’t mean she wants to stop being a woman. That’s why Team Huntress created the Outdoor Adventure Clinic, a revolutionary three-day event that caters to women who want to learn or expand on their outdoor skills while enjoying beautiful accommodations, spa treatments and the camaraderie of like-minded women.

Following the resounding success of its inaugural Outdoor Adventure Clinic for women in June, Team Huntress has announced plans for its second clinic to be held at the beautiful Buffalo County Outfitters in Mondovi, Wisconsin, August 21 – 23, 2009.

The Outdoor Adventure Clinic offers training in archery, firearms, wildlife photography, gear, and survival skills from the expert Team Huntress staff of prominent women hunters, while a team of clinicians offers the kind of pampering women love: massages, facials, foot rubs, nature walks, and wine tasting.

Because the majority of the teaching staff is female, the environment is particularly welcoming for women who are interested in learning outdoor skills but may be intimidated by the overwhelmingly male nature of the shooting sports. Team Huntress understands that women want and need a supportive and pleasant environment for learning – no ribbing about missed shots, no competitive bravado, and no substandard accommodations that make a woman cringe.

Instructors for the Team Huntress Outdoor Adventure Clinic include: Terri Lee Pocernich, Camp Wild Girls; Kirstie Pike, Prois Hunting Apparel; Barbara Baird, Women’s Outdoor News; Stacey and “Hawk” Huston, A Focus in the Wild; Holly Hesyer, NorCalCazadora; and Jane Keller, Team Huntress.

The Team Huntress formula – instruction, female staff and pampering – proved highly effective at the inaugural Outdoor Adventure Clinic at the Pheasant Phun/OJ Bar Ranch in Hitchcock, S.D. in June.  Women who’d never fired a gun felt secure taking those first steps and found they really enjoyed what they were learning. By the end of the weekend, participants were abuzz about the shooting sports and the new friendships they’d formed.

The Team Huntress Outdoor Adventure Clinic is the ideal gift, whether it’s a woman treating herself to something she deserves or an outdoorsman who’s been looking for a way to bring his wife, daughter, or girlfriend into the lifestyle he loves.  The clinic is open to women ages 18 and over who want to learn or expand their outdoor skills.

Buffalo City Outfitters is located at Mondovi, Wisconsin, 25 miles south of Eau Claire and 1 ½ hours from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.  Airport pickup and return is provided for the clinic.

Cost of the weekend clinic is $995, which includes instruction, meals, spa treatment, gifts (clothing, skin care, and food) from sponsors, lodging, and airport transportation.  To learn more or book your spot at the clinic, contact Team Huntress founder Jane Keller, jane.keller@yahoo.com, 605-450-0931.

Don’t Quit Before You Begin

With archery Antelope season fast approaching I’ve found myself in a battle to not lose ground before the hunt even starts. For months I’ve diligently practiced shooting, being rewarded with nice tight groups that should dispel all fears… but as the days tick away to kick-off, I’m finding myself facing negative feedback… and it’s not coming from an outside source… it’s coming from the gal who looks back at me in the mirror! I don’t know if any other hunters share this affliction, but it seems I have to combat these little monsters that raise their ugly heads every time the season draws near.

Confidence is absolutely vital for every successful hunt. So some of the biggest preparation goes on in my head before the hunt ever begins. I have to fight off those little monsters that spell defeat before I even step into the field. This will be the first time I’ve hunted Antelope, and the area is completely unfamiliar to me, so those little demons are having a heyday messing with my mind! The best defence  is to be armed with information… so I have been consuming all the data I can cram into this skull! I figured a good beginning was the Fish and Game biologist for the area I’d be hunting in, couple this with anyone I could talk to who lives in the area… and who has hunted Antelope. Then look at maps and GoogleEarth of the area till my eyes cross! We also hope to make a scouting trip to the area before the season begins.

The true test  comes once you are out in the field and nothing presents itself the way your information indicated it would! Then is when you either give in to those demons… or you say I’m going to pull out all stops… not be afraid to try something new and maybe even unorthodox…and NEVER say “this will never work!”… there’s nothing that kills patience and perseverance quicker than a lack of confidence!

The real beauty is, even if you don’t harvest an animal, you are in a win, win situation…  you’ve been surrounded by the pure raw beauty of the wild and collected valuable experience and memories that will give you an advantage for the next hunting adventure. When you’re out in the field, you never lose… you can only gain!

Off Trail – Eastern Oregon Muley Hunt

I’ve taken up the rifle and am taking my turn in front of the camera rather than behind it. It’s my first rifle tag for deer in four years – and I’m looking to put meat in the freezer for the first time in the last four years. A dry run in new country prompted my brother to follow me in a spot closer to home, and our plan pays off!

Spider Bull Get’s an Official Score

Well, the time has come for the Spider bull – his mandatory drying period finished, he was officially scored recently by Rusty Hall – and the official word? How about a whopping 501 gross and 480 1/8 net B&C. That means a potential world record.

Why still potential? Because this bull is teetering on the edge of a world record bull, it has to be scored by a panel of scorers who will then come to a final agreement on the score. But as the current record stands at 465 2/8, Spider Bull has plenty of room and will become the new world record.

Unbelievable! For the whole story, check out the ever informative site at King’s Outdoor World.
