Uncontrollable variables and physics argue strongly against excessively long-range hunting. But how far is too far?We don’t wish to create a political divide here. Nor can we, because the debate over long-range hunting has long existed. But technological advances over the past quarter century have accentuated it. Laser rangefinders. High magnification scopes. High-BC bullets. Pocket anemometers with barometric pressure gauges. Computerized scopes and binoculars. Turret dialing scopes. Even scopes that automatically illuminate the proper aiming dot for precise shot placement at any distance.We have the equipment. Question is, do we have the wisdom?You know the arguments…“I have a world-class, ¼-MOA rifle, scope, and ammunition that prints 3-inch groups at 1,000 yards. All day, every day. Why shouldn’t I target deer and elk at that range?”“Anyone who launches any bullet at any game animal beyond 300 yards isn’t a true hunter, but an unethical, irresponsible poacher!”And those are the milder statements.But which is right? How far is too far? How do we define unethical and irresponsible? And how can we enforce any limits on shooting distances? Or do we even need to try?Let’s start by trying to define “ethical” hunting. This is an old idea that probably emerged with the wealthy,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeatedly sidestepped questions Thursday about reported plans to launch a public pressure campaign this fall pushing tax hikes on wealthy New Yorkers and corporations.Mamdani reportedly plans to build public support after Labor Day for similar proposals that Gov. Kathy Hochul previously rejected in early 2026. The reported push is expected ahead of the New York Legislature’s return to Albany in January 2027 and Hochul’s re-election campaign this fall, according to The New York Post.During an interview with Fox 5 New York, Mamdani repeatedly declined to answer questions about the potential campaign before later saying such discussions would only come after the November election.Asked whether he had spoken with Hochul about the reported campaign, Mamdani did not answer directly, instead using the opportunity to tout the opening of 2,000 free child care seats for New Yorkers through their policy efforts.NYC MAYOR MAMDANI CALLS THREAT OF RICH PEOPLE LEAVING NYC OVER TAXES ‘IMAGINED’ “The governor and I are in constant communication and, frankly, I appreciate her partnership because if it wasn’t for the governor, then we wouldn’t have been able to stand together to announce that…

This is the most the WNBA has done to keep men out of its sport.During Thursday night’s WILD battle between the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, venue security confronted several men seated courtside who were making noise.Las Vegas’ Jackie Young took time out of a tight game to confront the fans and actively demanded that security handle them. The Amazon Prime Video commentators even celebrated as the men were shown being escorted off the floor. Young finished with 22 points, but her biggest effort was causing a floor-side scene over paying customers.SOME WNBA PLAYERS ACT LIKE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO RECEIVE MEAN SOCIAL MEDIA MESSAGESWelcome to the modern WNBA, where ordinary courtside heckling can apparently become a five-alarm emergency.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., was defeated in a primary challenge on Thursday evening by Republican challenger Charlie Hatcher, a farmer and the state’s former commissioner of agriculture.Although the primary was far from a top-watched contest coming into the 2026 primaries, it served as a microcosm of larger forces at play in the Republican Party. From a break in endorsements between President Donald Trump and Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee to millions being pumped into the district over environmental policy, the race attracted attention well beyond its borders.The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC had spent roughly $2 million opposing Ogles and supporting Hatcher. The group has raised $6.7 million this year, making Ogles a sizable portion of their spending this cycle.TOP TRUMP ALLY WARNS SUPER PAC BANKROLLED BY DEM BILLIONAIRE IS MEDDLING IN GOP PRIMARY The way that Ogles sees it, it’s an attempt to show Republicans what happens when lawmakers attempt to claw back government funding for renewable energy sources.Like many other Republicans, Ogles has called to scale back renewable energy investments made under the Biden Administration.”When you have a group spending roughly $2 million in a Republican primary, that tells…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE: A new lawsuit set to be filed in Maryland seeks to block a redistricting amendment backed by Democrat Gov. Wes Moore from appearing on the November ballot, arguing state officials advanced the measure after the state’s own legislative analysts concluded the statutory deadline for certifying ballot questions had already passed.The complaint, filed Thursday night in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court by the conservative watchdog group Oversight Project, and reviewed by Fox News Digital, argues that HB 2100 could not lawfully reach voters because Maryland’s July 1 deadline for certifying statewide ballot questions expired more than a month before lawmakers convened a special session to approve the proposal.The Oversight Project, which filed the lawsuit alongside Republican lawmakers, argues approval of the amendment could pave the way for an 8-0 Democratic congressional delegation. HB 2100 would ask voters to amend the Maryland Constitution so state constitutional standards governing compactness and boundaries would no longer apply to congressional districts.The Oversight Project describes itself as working “to expose and root out corruption in government, among elected officials, and in our most influential organizations to ensure power resides with the American People.”SUPREME COURT DEALS BLOW TO…
