SOTG Addresses Fear of the Militia and Home Defense – You’re Doing it Wrong
Our XS Sights Good Guy wants to talk about the militia and how, given the current political climate, we can “justify” creating or being a member of one. We discuss eye dominance for shooters new and old, then examine the latest “criminal apologist” in Detroit, Michigan.
During the second hour we’ll examine an incident that should have been a legitimate case of self-defense but turned into a murder indictment. We have Slave State News from Colorado and another Vagination Report thanks to the people at the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Stier Staves off Rhodes to Claim National Walleye Tour Season Opener
Dan Stier left Elizabeth Park in suburban Detroit Saturday morning as a confident angler. Sitting in second place, approximately 4 pounds off the lead, Stier knew he was around a huge pod of Lake Erie walleyes, the kind needed to win the Cabela's National Walleye Tour season opener. But to reach those fish, he had to endure a 37-mile boat ride in 4- and 5-foot waves. And once he arrived at his primary area, he had to reconnect with the mega-school.
Stier aimed his Ranger southeast and after an hour and 40 minute boat ride, arrived on the north side of North Bass Island, near the Canadian...

Bjorkman Sacks 47-pound Mega-Stringer, Leads National Walleye Tour Erie Opener
Lake Erie has no equal in terms of producing giant walleyes and day one of the 2014 Cabela's National Walleye Tour season opener proved it with 14 stringers over 40 pounds. While the walleyes are both sizable and plentiful, the problem is that Mother Nature oftentimes makes getting to them difficult. Anglers debated this morning whether to stay in the friendly confines of the Detroit River or brave the wet and wild conditions out on Erie. Veteran North Dakota pro Brian Bjorkman chose to venture out to the big lake and his decision paid off.
Braving 4- and 5-foot waves, Bjorkman and his...

Spohrer Sprints to First at Red River
A change in his practice methods for the Bass Pro Shops Central Open #2 presented by Allstate on the Red River is paying off for Gerald Spohrer.

“I spent my whole practice fishing stuff where I thought the tournament would be won,”...
