Meena Kadri from Edge of Paradise, New Zealand, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia CommonsMy name is Jewel Rodgers and I am your state Poet of Nebraska and I am going to read my poem Bloom for you.

This week, Luke is talking big bore air rifles that shoot both slugs and shot, the Umarex Primal 20 (www.umarexusa.com). The rifle shoots a big 395 grain rifled slug, as well as shot for birds or small game. Luke also talks about a recent hunt on the Choctaw Hunting Lodge (www.choctawhuntinglodge.com) in SE Oklahoma, where his good friend Larry Weishuhn took a boar with a Primal 20 and was very impressed with the power of this heavy duty big bore air rifle that pressured to 4,000 psi. Contact Luke through his website, www.catfishradio.org! -
