This comparison, re Chas, of the AK, the AR 15, and the Mosin Nagant, is utterly irresistible for those who like such things. There are MANY comparisons but how about this one on ammo? If you have an AK “You buy cheap ammo by the case.” If you have an AR Clone “You lovingly reload …

One More on AR
This one needs highlighting re the new proposed NM regs. From the mouth of PETA: “Each and every one of us can make a difference. Please, make a pledge rightnow to take personal responsibility, not just for neutering your owncompanion animals, but also to neuter or spay every unsterilized animal youencounter. Is there an unneutered …
The Latest
Apologies to all who care– we are still struggling through the detrius of 2006 and preparing for what promises to be a serious Animal Rights battle in New Mexico. We spent the holidays just getting over being sick and are still dealing with things like an unexpectedly returned sick hawk,a re- mortgaged house, and other …
Killer Hounds
For those that appreciate such things; granddogs Pearl the lurcher and six- month old Maty, the tazi, with Maty’s first hare. It WILL be eaten. By humans.

I do not have time to do him justice right now, but I encourage you to read him. For a sampler of his innovative thinking, try this …
Eating Hares
An anonymous commentor on my post California Coursing Redux takes issue with my defence of coursing. Very well, though I don’t think he or she read it as carefully as they might have. But with one point I must take issue. “As for the comment given at the hearing that the killed rabbits were all …
Decline, Fall– and a Little Rise?
I have done many “is there still an England?” posts, and this article: “Mince Pie Danger to be Assessed” is surely in the decline category. “Organisers of a village Christmas party have been told they must carry out a risk assessment of their mince pies – or their festivities will be cancelled. “Council bosses say …
Links and Excuses
..in rather the reverse order. Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico has announced a 3.6 million dollar “Animal Welfare” plan that reeks of Animal Rights and the notorious Albuquerque “HEART” plan– see earlier posts here. The biggest single fear– and there are many– is that they will try to stealthily implement a statewide spay- neuter …
