Howdy 5 Dogs Creek Posse,
Grab your hats, hitch your horses, and pour a cup o’ cowboy coffee—
’cause the February 2026 Howler just rolled into town like a stagecoach on two wheels!
This month’s issue is packed tighter than a gambler’s vest pocket:
The Mayor’s Anvil — Mayor Fordyce Beals is hammerin’ out wisdom hotter than a blacksmith’s forge, this time tellin’ tales of the Gatling gun and the curious ways “good ideas” can blow up like a misfired shotgun shell.
⭐ Sheriff’s Log — Sheriff Lap Dog has the full rundown from the January goings‑on, rain delays, clean shooters, Wild Bunch fun, and a reminder that the February match is Jan 31 – Feb 1, with Winter Hours in effect. (Because Mother Nature is a fickle ol’ gal.)
Extra Shootin’! Don’t forget we’re also shootin’ again Feb. 7—one week early so we don’t get caught in a Valentine’s Day ambush.
Campfire Potluck — Friday appetizers & Saturday grub. Bring food, friends, and your very best tall tales.
History Corner — Wanderin’ with Utah Blaine brings us the wild, tangled, pistol‑packin’ saga of Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen herself.
Territorial Governor’s Notes and Range Wranglers’ Notes — More wisdom on the way, so keep your eyes peeled like a lookout at high noon.
Load up on all this and more in the latest February 2026 Howler—
where the stories are tall, the guns are loud, and the coffee is questionable but strong.
