Division of Wildlife Denies Hunters Rights

12:05am Tuesday, February 28, 2006
By Larry S. Moore If, like me, you hunt in Ohio then the Division of Wildlife is denying our rights. More specifically if you are a deer hunter in Ohio your right of self-defense through concealed carry is being denied.

2006 Promises To Be Exciting Outdoor Year

10:51am Wednesday, December 28, 2005
By Larry S. Moore I’ve often said when it comes to outdoor recreation and hunting opportunities, we are indeed blessed to be living “in the good old days”. I believe that 2006 may be one of the best outdoor years yet. There were lots of issues in 2005 and many remain but the outlook for hunting and other outdoor recreation is bright.
