Local Shooting Park needs our help.

Clark County Shooting Park Needs Your Support!Please Contact the BLM Today!
The Clark County Shooting Park is a 3,000 acre park outside of Las Vegas that is devoted entirely to the shooting sports. It was created by an Act of Congress that transferred land to Clark County from the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Not long after the transfer, some local residents filed a lawsuit to close down the shooting park. The federal judge dismissed their charges, but ordered the BLM to complete some environmental studies.

An Environmental Assessment with a "Finding of No Significant Impact" (FONSI) has been completed and is open for public comment until Wednesday, September 2. The same people who sued the shooting park, along with their allies, plan to bury BLM with letters demanding a more extensive environmental analysis as another form of harassment against the shooting park.

Since comments are not limited to Nevada residents, we are asking that NRA members from around the country send comments to BLM in order to counter comments by the shooting park's opposition. A large number of supportive letters will also positively influence BLM decisions on other shooting areas and ranges nationwide.

If you shoot recreationally, it is important the BLM hear from you. Gun control advocates and radical environmental activists are trying to shut down shooting ranges or keep them from opening across the country, so it is important that BLM hear from you. Please take a few minutes to send Mr. Bob Ross, BLM Las Vegas Field Manager, your comments supporting the Environmental Assessment and recommending that the FONSI be approved and that the environmental review process be completed. His address is: 4701 North Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89130. The environmental assessment is available online at http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/lvfo.html.

I look forward to this park opening so that my children can have a place in the future to practice their marksmanship. A skill many people have lost. This is something we do as a family. Remember gun's don't kill people do. If you teach your children responsibility they will be responsible. It is also important for them to have a place to practice their skills.

If you don't like it move on don't leave your nasty posts. We live in America so we can have Freedom. I'm expressng mine.

Hunting = Chocolate donuts

OK I plan to stage a picture or two but, wanted to get this jotted down.

Last Sunday I went to a friends house w/ Clarissa.
She asked Rissa did your dad get any thing hunting?
C: Pause, Yes, DONUTS
Friend: Donuts? anything else?
C: Yes, CHOCOLATE DONUTS!
Friend: chuckling. Oh, my that must have been quite a find.
C: Yes, I love CHOCOLATE DONUTS!

Okay it was just so cute. Rissa was like hello what else would he get when he goes hunting but, chocolate donuts.

Silly Girl! I hope her husband remembers the chocolate donuts when he comes home from Hunting trips. (Wait a minute maybe I should train her to marry a non hunter. She may see more of her husband. Or at least not marry a luck one like I did!)

Hunting Widow I will be!

A hunting widow!

I'm scared, real scared. I think I will spend the fall a Hunting widow! My husband seems to have the best luck at drawing tags to hunt. He drew the PIW tag. For those of you like me that are clueless it means he can hunt any time and where as long as there is a season for deer. I think I have that right.

What does that mean for me. It means another fall as a hunting widow. It means I need to get him busy on the Honey do's now. One more mount on the wall. I'm sure it means a new set of hunting clothes as for some reason the animals Kent hunts seem to care what he is wearing. I wish he'd find careless animals. I think it means my Birtday and Christmas presents got larger (and probably aren't my scraproom cabinets as he won't be around to build them). It means he promised to take next hunting season off. I think it means I'm going on a cruise next hunting season. It means a freezer full of meat. Weekends with a husband, But all is all it means a Happy Husband. I guess it equates to the largest best craft conference or something. I really don't mind (don't tell him). We'll miss him. Rissa will miss him the most! No one to carry her to bed at night and to the couch in the am. (yes, I think she is spoiled but, she has a dad to carry her so, I let it be.) I just pray gas prices go down, or we may be in the poor house!


It will be an interesting fall to say the least.

stay tune for the diary of a hunting widow. Yahoo Ramen for dinner- oh wait my kids won't eat ramen- what's wrong with them I lived off that stuff for a long time.

I do have a cow elk tag which I'm excited about as elk is my favorite meat! Kent also has his usual Wyoming Antelope tags, a Utah Deer and something else her in NV I think. I stopped listening when I heard Hunting season was LONG this year! All you hunting widows- scrapbooking at my house this fall! Maybe we can convince dad the mom and the kids need to go mouse hunting.

Happy Hunting!
