just found out that the varmint hunters organization and their magazine has closed shop

Is that Ned Kalbfleisch (sp?) and Co.?

He was in OK, somehow assumed control of the Assn, and then shortly thereafter moved to Sturgis.

He owned three Fia Brasilero dogs. He got a visit from the DEA (iirc) just before the move. Something to do with a Judge who had somehow removed a firearm from an evidence locker or such and loaned it to Ned. The DEA, according to the story Ned told me over the phone came in three helicopters to his "Compound" (his words) searching for said firearm.

According to the K-9 officer on our PD, judges will issue a probably cause search warrant on alleged drug dealers simply because the person of interest owns one of these dogs. They were bred in Brasil to chase down and kill runaway slaves. The most territorial animal on earth.

Funny story, I am out jogging with the officer and his Giant Airedale one afternoon, and mention that a magazine I started writing fors' owner had three at his house. He looks over at me, and says "the guy is a drug dealer, and not a street level one either...".

he started it. but escaped before anybody could use him for a target. the reborgs had it for years. it was one of the best shooting magazines out there

DAMN! And I was trying to get my 1,000 yd patch this summer. Already have my 500 yarder with three kills at just over 700yds.

Now with this and Precision Shooting gone, I may have to revert to an educational magazine like Playboy.

Ha!

You want a real "educational" magazine, get a sub to Penthouse (are they still around?)

I saw one issue and it had some amazing stories/interviews/photography and bylines...

Either that, or buy a full-coverage photo book layout of the Taj Mahal.

Nah, at my age I might suffer a "hard" attack and all that blood leaving my brain might cause a stroke.

Knew things smelled bad when he threw that coordinator in OH out... Man works for stated purpose only to be tossed....

Real hoot on web site. He said he tied up 600K in the operation and anyone who would give him 600K could take over! His wife was editrix of the mag. Didn't say if she stayed...

Oh wellllllll

prof242 - That condition is call a Zeener. If left unckecked it can lead to a fatal condition called a Noreltney. When a Zeener becomes so bad that it explodes, that is a Noreltney. Men have been forced to endure the horrors of Zeeners and Noreltneys since the beginning of time.

Playboy announced today that they are removing all nudity from their magazine by March of 2016.

If they do, the April issue will be the last one they publish, and they won't be "foolin'..."

Not many of the younger generation of shooters are interested in accuracy. Most just want to shoot fast and misses are perfectly acceptable.
