Over the past few weeks, I’ve been given an opportunity to observe a large group of bears. My estimate ranges between nine and 12 bears in this one spot. I thought that there were two in the beginning. What have I learned? 1.) People aren’t joking when they talk about how poorly a bear sees [...]

Tritium Fiber Optic Pistol Sights – by Keith, the Jeep Shootist
Today in the News: Keith returns with a great review on fiber optic pistol sights. I have no experience with fiber optic pistol sights, but after this article, I soon will. They are cool. Two things nobody ever tells you is that 1.) Seeing your sights after dusk is really difficult and 2.) If you [...]
The Less-Than-A-Dollar Sheath
Today in the News: Tonight (Sunday) is the Season 2 Finale of The Walking Dead. If you haven’t seen the show, check it out at the library, order it on iTunes or watch it on Netflix. I love me some zombie killin’. We’re thinking about doing some articles about TWD here on the Axe. They’d [...]
A Simple Reminder
Today in the News: My camera is broken, so I have decided to write about what was on my mind today. Don’t worry. It isn’t that deep. On tap for next week: The less-than-a-dollar sheath, Little Orphan Axie and a modification to the old carboard stove that makes it much easier to cook over. [...]
The Ruger 10/22
Snuffy pulled me to the side one day and showed me the damage that red squirrels were causing on the old homestead. They were ripping out insulation and nesting in the roof of the house. Snuffy handed me his (now mine) Ruger 10-22 and gave me the git ‘er done speech. At the [...]
Mystery Man in the Mountains
This story caught my eye. I think that a lot of people here have thought about changing their name, burning their clothes and disappearing into the woods. For most, it is a dream, idealized and romanticized. It wouldn’t be as easy as we daydream about. If you’ve ever read about Eric Rudolph, you understand that [...]

Another 28” Cruiser Axe Project – by Keith, the Jeep Shootist
My recent post on The Sharpend Axe entitled ”An Axe Saga” elicited an interesting response from my pigeon hunting partner, Bill Thompson. Bill is a commercial pilot when he’s not hunting pigeons. This fellow pictured above is Bill. We are engaged here in pigeon control for a commercial milk dairy in central Washington. The pigeons [...]
Snakes on a Plain
The best thing I ever had when I was a kid was a big back yard. The landscape behind my house was perfect for somebody with an inclination to explore. Fields of tall grass gave way to a swamp, which in turn was hemmed in by a forest. Hidden among those trees were old junk cars, stacks [...]
Re: To pee or not to pee….an outhouse rebuttal…..uh, response.
Today in the News: Well, kids, ‘ol Mike quit that job workin’ for the man. Turns out that big corporations really can be evil. Tough times may be ahead at the Hotel household, but the future still looks bright. I got a job driving a trash truck for the same company that owned [...]
