Jackpine Savage!: July 2014
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Friday, July 11, 2014. Bashing the poor has become a popular pastime in the last few years. This surprises and saddens me. For the purpose of full disclosure, I ’. M neither proud nor ashamed of my past. It happened and I ’. While my parents were married, we lived on a small piece of land in the country in northern Minnesota. While my dad had a good job as an electrician for a natural gas pipeline, he couldn ’. When my mom realized just how b...

Jackpine Savage!: February 2014
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Monday, February 3, 2014. When you’re hitting paper targets for accuracy, a common choice would be match grade 168 grain weight .308 caliber. This has become common so it’s a good choice for target shooters because so many different companies make a version. For deer hunting, .308 is still a good caliber, but you would likely want a slightly lighter weight bullet and definitely one designed to expand on impact. I don’t consider this res...

Jackpine Savage!: Grandma's House
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2015/01/grandmas-house.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Saturday, January 31, 2015. One week each summer from the age of six until I was ten, I spent a week at my grandma's. She seemed so far away, a whole hour back in Deer River. She lived on Hanson Lake in the house her first husband had built. My sister got a week also, so we each got a two week break from each other. The next morning there were always Leo's pancakes. Leo was my grandpa, but we called him Leo. Later, I understood that h...Hanso...

Jackpine Savage!: December 2014
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Monday, December 15, 2014. McCammon Didn’t Copy King. Let me start by being clear that I am a huge fan of both Robert McCammon and Stephen King. I've read all of their collective works and I love horror as well as many other genres. In both cases there are books I haven ’. T cared for, though they are the exception. I ’. Ve also been able to see each writer mature over time to become true masters of the written word and it ’. There are only 3...

Jackpine Savage!: April 2014
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. If it wasn’t for the thin, high definition TV, I’d be convinced I traveled back in time. News stories about fair pay for women? Women claiming that pay inequity is good for all women because it’s easier to catch a man if you make less? What is going on here? And why are there politicians coming out with these opinions in 2014? One of the arguments I’ve recently heard is that some men are threatened by women th...

Jackpine Savage!: Mead
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2014/11/mead.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Sunday, November 23, 2014. I decided to make mead. For those that know me, this may seem a strange decision since I don’t and never have drank alcohol. But except for a few soapbox moments in my teens, I have believed that socially responsible drinking is a good thing. It may be the only reason I exist. My wife drinks but is what is commonly known as a teetotaler. So why make not one but two large batches of mead? In 2-3 months, depending on ...

Jackpine Savage!: The Jackpine Savage tries 3 Gun Competition
http://rscottmccoy.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-jackpine-savage-tries-3-gun.html
A collection of twaddle from writer and editor R. Scott McCoy. Sunday, May 24, 2015. The Jackpine Savage tries 3 Gun Competition. As a proud Jackpine Savage, I've been shooting since I was barely a sapling. I took to rifles immediately and later pistols with equal relish. Shotguns, however, were not my favorite. That's an understatement. It's more accurate to say that I hated them for many years. My dislike started with my first encounter. When it came to choosing my three, the pistol was the easiest dec...
