$1,500: The Super-Cheap (But Still Super) Skiff

Tue, 10/27/2015 - 09:00

We get so carried away these days with our high-powered center consoles and fancy fishing machines, that we often forget just how much fun—and good fishing—you can have in a small, simple skiff. We also forget that we don’t have to spend $50,000 on a new boat, just to go casting for reds or toss topwater to speckled trout. No, for a modest $1,500 or so, you can get a super-cheap skiff that will do these things, and more.

Mon, 10/26/2015 - 15:13

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could buy a suppressor without having to pay a $200 tax on an already expensive item?

That’s exactly what the American Silencer Association and Representative Matt Salmon (AZ) hope to do with the introduction of the Hearing Protection Act (HPA). The bill aims to remove suppressors from the jurisdiction of the National Firearms Act, which would eliminate the current complicated and expensive process associated with acquiring a suppressor…

Man Without License Shoots Buck, Denied Louisiana State Record

A Louisiana deer hunter recently went from hero to zero when officials discovered that he didn’t have the proper licenses or tags to harvest an 18-point whitetail buck, with an unofficial green score of 208 7/8 inches—a deer big enough to take a seat as one of the five largest ever harvested in the state.

This Transforming Boat Trailer Is the Coolest Boat Launcher Ever (VIDEO)

Mon, 10/26/2015 - 14:57

The most tedious and difficult part of boating usually happens at the boat ramp, but not with this impressive vehicle.

The boaters in question created a hybrid vehicle which combines the boat, trailer, and towing vehicle into one amazing package. It’s hard to tell at first, but the boat is actually integrated into the trailer itself making for a pretty slick package…

Dragon’s Breath: The easiest way to rake your leaves (VIDEO)

Mon, 10/26/2015 - 14:55

We’ve got a gorilla suit. We’ve got Dragon’s Breath. We’ve got exploding pumpkins. We’ve got a good time.

Eric with the Moss Pawn/IV8888 gang take a light break from their normal seriousness to pitch in and clean up the yard with the help of a round of 12 gauge Dragon’s Breath, or zirconium pyrotechnic shotgun ammunition. Just be sure to have a fire suppression plan.

Those damned dirty apes.

Fri, 10/23/2015 - 18:07

The Silencer Co Saker 762 is a solid suppressor that will give you a lifetime of quiet shooting.  I was looking for an all purpose can rated for full auto 308 up to 300 Winchester Magnum and the Saker filled the bill.

Tips for Overnighting Aboard

Tue, 10/20/2015 - 09:00

As you can see from the picture, our last overnight trip was outrageous. From 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM we had an endless swarm of fish feeding in the boat’s lights, a mix of yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, bonito, and tinker mackerel. We never slept, we spent way too much money on fuel and bait, and my back ached for a week. Obviously, it was well worth it – and I’d do it again in a moment.

Wed, 10/14/2015 - 09:53

The gun banning crowd always claims that “no armed citizen has ever stopped a mass murder”.  And they have a point, because when it is stopped by armed citizen, it’s just a self defense shooting without enough victims to call it a “mass murder” or “shooting spree”.
