California Outdoor Heritage Alliance SACRAMENTO, CA --(Ammoland.com)- SB 752 (Berryhill) would allow hunters and fishermen to voluntarily share their contact information with nonprofit sportsmen’s organizations of their choice when purchasing a license or other entitlement through the Department of Fish and Game’s Automated License Data System (ALDS).
California Outdoor Heritage Alliance SACRAMENTO, CA --(Ammoland.com)- Help COHA defeat the following bills that threaten your firearms freedoms: 1) AB 809 (Feuer), legislation which would require a permanent registry of long guns – including all shotguns and rifles. Under AB 809, those who purchase, or even transfer a shotgun or rifle to a family member, will be required to permanently register that firearm by submitting their name, address, place of birth, phone number, occupation and sex to the CA Department of Justice.
The bill would link up more hunters and fishermen with nonprofit sportsmen’s groups that perform game or fish conservation projects, offer hunting or fishing topportunities to the public or carry out other important work on their behalf.

Under the provisions of AB 962, mail order and internet sales of handgun and some rifle ammunition would essentially be banned given that all transactions would have to be completed “face-to-face”. Additionally, sportsmen and women would be forced to submit personal information when buying commonly-used sporting ammunition, even though they had already undergone an extensive background check with the purchase or transfer of a firearm. COHA has been actively working with our founding member, California Waterfowl, as well as the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, National Rifle Association and California Rifle and Pistol Association, to defeat these anti-gun bills. “Sportsmen and gun owners need to make their voices heard before its too late by contacting the Governor and asking him to protect their rights,” said Rob Sexton U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Vice President of Government Affairs.

Carl is just an everyday average citizen who got fed up when his own state representative voted against freedom one too many times. He ran for office and—to the shock of the political establishment—Carl won. Other legislators expected the new Rep. Wimmer to fall in line with the Republican caucus once he arrived at the state capital. But Carl had no intention of becoming just another yes man for party leaders. He got into politics to restore liberty, and his list of accomplishments thus far is impressive. Soon after being elected, Carl helped form the Patrick Henry Caucus.

I’m sure they had plenty of folks who were not all that interested in establishing this Country and its marvelous standards. I guess over the years those who know the meaning and importance of freedom and personal protection were able to pass that knowledge on to the next generations, but somewhere along the line there was a disconnect. We have an entire society today, that stands in line waving their hands in the air asking for someone in authority to relieve them of their dignity, liberty and any and all personal rights.

Half-Cocked: Uncle HeebieJeebie’s New Career…
EHD is a common but sporadic disease in white-tailed deer populations of the United States, and is contracted by the bite of insects called “biting midges.” In more northern states, such as Pennsylvania, EHD occurs less often and affected deer are less likely to mount an effective immune response. The virus usually kills the deer within five to 10 days. It is not spread from deer to deer by contact. While EHD is not infectious to humans, deer displaying severe symptoms of EHD are usually not suitable for consumption because of the rapid deterioration of the meat and secondary bacterial infection.
SEP 16, 2011 11:30A.M. Uncle Heebie-Jeebie’s New Career – Half-Cocked Cartoons by My Gun Culture
“Reports of dead or dying deer are important to us,” said Doug Killough, Game Commission Southeast Region Office director. “Though an actual count of afflicted deer is impossible to obtain, because of rapid decomposition and the area where the outbreak is occurring, we still value these reports. Also, tissue samples must be extracted within 24 hours of death to be suitable for conducting tests. That is why it is so important that we hear from residents as soon as possible after they find a suspect deer.” There is no evidence that humans are at risk from EHD, but other diseases could be transmitted by careless hygiene when processing deer. “As a routine precaution, all hunters are encouraged to wear rubber or latex gloves when handling or field-dressing any animal, and wash their hands and tools thoroughly after field dressing,” Killough said. “As with any wild game, meat should always be thoroughly cooked.

Visit: www.mygunculture.com
“Even though some EHD symptoms are similar to those of chronic wasting disease (CWD) – such as excessive drooling, weakness and a loss of fear of humans – there is no relationship between EHD and CWD. However, because these diseases coexist, deer submitted for EHD testing also are being tested for CWD.”

EHD is one of those diseases in which the mortality rate can be amplified by anything that serves to congregate deer, such as supplemental feeding, and placement of salt or mineral blocks. While the disease is not spread through deer-to-deer contact, congregating animals through feeding does make transmission easier by allowing midges that carry the virus greater access to a larger number of animals in a more confined area. Therefore, such feeding activities should be discontinued immediately. In 1996, EHD was suspected to be the cause of death in nearly 25 deer in

Will Obama’s Fast and Furious Guns Take Lives in Your Town
We also know that the existence of the third gun and its ties to Fast and Furious were intentionally covered up by the FBI.
SEP 16, 2011 11:25A.M. And while Obama & Co. has tried to act like American citizens were not endangered by Fast and Furious, recent unsettling news is that in 2010, police in Maricopa County, Ariz., apprehended a Mexican national with a Fast and Furious gun in his possession. He had rammed two police cruisers and tried to outrun others before being caught with two weapons in his possession, one of which was a gun that was supposed to be walked into Mexico and transferred to the cartel.
Will Obama’s Fast and Furious Guns Take Lives in Your Town By A.W.R. Hawkins
• How many other criminals are driving the streets in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico with Fast and Furious weapons in their cars right now?
AmmoLand Gun News Manasquan, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Like a cancer, the growing number of news stories being uncovered from the cache on Operation Fast and Furious relentlessly gnaws at the Obama administration.
• Moreover, how many of the 1,000 Fast and Furious guns unaccounted for are in the U.S. instead of Mexico? You Said Transparency These are serious questions that need to be answered by the administration that promised us transparency.
And at a time like this, when other scandals, such as Solyndra, are raising questions about possible White House improprieties, the President who promised us transparency is forced to circle the wagons to protect the White House, the Justice Department and the myriad federal agencies involved in Fast and Furious from the eyes of investigative committees in the House and Senate.
And when you couple these new developments with the fact that we now know White House officials were briefed on Fast and Furious far more and in far greater detail than we were first led to believe, it’s hard to keep from thinking that Obama and his underlings have something to hide. For example, although the administration is playing dumb on the specifics of the operation, Rep. Darrell Issa (R.-Calif.) has learned that White House official Kevin O’Reilly received e-mails from Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) supervisor William Newell about “a 22-year-old kid on State financial assistance [who walked] into a gun store and [plopped] down $12,000 in cash to buy a tripod mounted .50-caliber rifle” during the Fast and Furious operation. In other words, the White House was told that a young man on food stamps bought a $12,000 specialty rifle (for which ammo alone is well over $3 per bullet), and this was only one of nearly 700 gun buys this particular straw purchaser made under the auspices of that operation. How can a White House that knew such purchases were taking place likewise claim it knew nothing about the gun-walking aspect of the Fast and Furious operation?
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry a Victim of Fast & Furious Guns What makes things even worse for Obama & Co. is that Fast and Furious is not over yet. There are still more than 1,000 guns unaccounted for, grenade components that were moved across the border to the Mexican cartel, and questions about how truthful the administration has been in reporting details to date.
For now there’s no answer, but answers need to be pursued, because this operation is rife with coverups and questions that could sink even the most popular President, much less Obama. Dead People Someone in the administration lied, and people died: lots and lots of people, among them a U.S. Border Patrol agent whose family is being denied closure. Therefore, House Oversight and Government Reform
For example, although we’ve been told for months that only two Fast and Furious guns were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent

Ohio Hunters Asked to Help Spot Asian Longhorned Beetle SEP 16, 2011 10:48A.M. Team ITI’s Morgan Allen Ohio Hunters Asked to Help Spot Asian Longhorned Beetle Invasive insect documented in southwest Ohio.
As with all of the teams, each of these members will be competing not only for their country, but also for individual standing at this match. “It’s both a privilege and an honor to be asked to represent the US at the IDPA World Championship next week,” commented Allen. “I’m looking forward to putting my training to the test. With 18 stages and a round count of around 327, it’s sure to reward those who’ve prepared.” This has been a whirlwind year for Allen, who suffered a broken wrist in the beginning of the season and was forced to take time off to undergo surgery and recovery. His absence from the competition did not seem to impact Allen too much as he has already placed 2nd in ESP Division at two matches since his return. Since 2007, Allen has won 30 IDPA State and Regional Division Championship titles, as well as five top five Division finishes at IDPA National Championship matches. His selection for Team USA is the capstone and ultimate compliment for Allen’s 2011 competitive season.

New York Giants’ Justin Tuck & Bowhunter TV “Sack” Javelina in South Texas
Hunters should look for trees displaying large, round exit holes with smooth edges, often oozing sap, as a strong indication of ALB activity. Frequently, piles of frass (insect waste and sawdust) are found at the base of infested trees and in branch crotches. Leaves of infested trees may also exhibit unseasonable yellowing or drooping.
SEP 16, 2011 10:19A.M. New York Giants’ Defensive End Justin Tuck & Bowhunter TV “Sack” Javelina in South Texas
Hunters can report suspicious tree damage or suspected ALBs by calling toll free at (855) 252-6450 or going online to www.BeetleBusters.info. Hunters are also encouraged to buy firewood near their destination – BUY IT WHERE YOU BURN IT. Invasive species can “hitch-hike” to new wooded areas and cause infestations, impacting the landscapes that are enjoyed for hunting. There are several quarantines in Ohio that restrict the movement of firewood; protect our forests by not moving firewood. The ALB already has caused tens of thousands of hardwood trees to be destroyed in Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York. This invasive beetle has no known natural predators and poses a threat to Ohio’s hardwood forests (more than $2.5 billion in standing maple timber) and the state’s $5 billion nursery industry, which employs nearly 240,000 people.

It’s no secret; Justin Tuck is NOT a small man, which makes things interesting when he’s hunting, especially in a cactus-filled environment! Standing at six-feet, five-inches and weighing 275 pounds, Tuck had his work cut out for him in the South Texas brush chasing lightning-fast javelina. Hosts Mike Carney and Curt Wells are on the hunt to provide some local knowledge of the area, and Tuck takes full advantage of the opportunity to get in some off-season hunting. Standing alongside an abandoned ranch road, Tuck spots a pack of javelina and goes into thirdand-long mode, connecting on his first javelina of the day from 30 yards with a pinpoint shot.

Gander Mountain to Host Archery in the Schools Program Training in November
Tuck and his teammates from Bowhunter TV are having such a good time they decide to run up the score, connecting both on stalks and animals coming to the call. After more spot and stalk action, Tuck lines up his second target and “sacks” another javelina – from 42 yards. “We were delighted to have Justin participate in the show with us,” said Mike Carney, host, Bowhunter TV. “He doesn’t get the chance to chase many animals during the fall season due to his job requirements, but in spite of that he’s taken a number of great whitetails, bear and African game. Justin has great instincts and knows how to stalk and shoot a bow as well as any athlete I’ve ever come across. It’s obvious why he’s so successful on the football field. He showed our team that he’s not only a hardcore bowhunter, but also an exceptionally fun personality to share camp with.”

of target archery,” said Snodgrass. “The DNR offers about four trainings a year; and, because class size is limited to 25, training slots are highly sought after. To ensure a training slot, we encourage PE teachers and coaches to apply as soon as possible.”
Asking permission to hunt is not always an easy thing to do, especially if the landowner is a total stranger. The recent issue of the Ducks Unlimited magazine (July/August 2011) published several tips on getting permission to hunt.
As an added incentive, teachers taking this training may be eligible to receive Continuing Education Hours.
• Don’t wait until the day you want to hunt to ask for permission. Ask landowners well enough in advance to give them time to consider your request so they can make an informed decision without undue pressure.
This training will cost $25 for all school employees and $50 for nonschool employees. This fee will be paid to “WV DNR – Archery in the Schools Program” by check, money order, or exact currency during the first morning of the training.
• Show up at an appropriate time of the day to ask for permission. Don’t inconvenience them because it was convenient for you. Take into consideration their work day and schedules.
To register for the AIS training at the Gander Mountain Store in South Charleston please call Krista Snodgrass at 304-558-2771; Krista.R.Snodgrass@wv.gov
• Ask them while they are outside. People are typically more comfortable talking to others they don’t know outside their homes.
For general information on the AIS Program, visit the DNR’s AIS website at www.wvdnr.gov/archery.
• Give the landowner as much detail as you can; for example: what you would like to hunt, where you would like to hunt and when you plan on hunting. Ask the landowner if they would like a phone call the day before you plan to hunt.

• Ask permission only for yourself. If your group wants permission to hunt, everyone should meet the landowner and get permission together. If the group cannot all get together, make sure the landowner knows exactly how many hunters you are asking permission for. Make sure you tell the landowner how many vehicles to expect and ask where to park.

WV Hunting Ethics and Getting Landowner Permission SEP 16, 2011 09:57A.M.
• If the landowner gives you permission, make sure you know the property boundaries and if there are any restrictions and places you shouldn’t be. Take a map of the area so the landowner can point these areas out.
WV Hunting Ethics and Getting Landowner Permission
• Show your appreciation to the landowner for allowing you to hunt and show respect for them and their land. Remember, hunting on private land is a privilege. • Keep in contact with the landowner throughout the year, especially if it is a place you would like to keep hunting. Send a thank you card and even a Christmas card. Little gestures of appreciation go a long way. • If a landowner says “No,” be polite and thank them for their time and consideration.
