Over the last few months, you have read several postings from me on hunting everything from Javelina to Oryx. I realized there is a hunting topic that perhaps I should have discussed early on, but have not …hunter ethics and responsibility. If you are reading this, perhaps you are new to the sport and are […]

How I’m Preparing For Hard Times, and You Should Too
I’m a bit of a prepper. I’m not super into prepping, and I don’t have a bunker that I’d load my family into out of fear of an attack or anything like that–not that I’d be opposed to the idea. However, I do believe that each person should be responsible for their own future well […]
How To Hunt Pronghorn Antelope
The American Pronghorn Antelope portrays and is associated with the wide-open spaces of our country’s western prairies and grasslands perhaps more than any other big game unless it be the American Bison. If you are a hunter, then no trophy room is complete without a nice representation of this iconic western big game animal. Below are […]
Bone-Dri Rifle Case Review
While I was out at SHOT Show 2022 I was contacted by a newer rifle case manufacturer to see if I’d be willing to do a review on one of their rifle cases. I tend to lean toward the whole “you can’t have too many” of certain things, rifle cases included, so I said yes. […]
Hunting and Fishing Collectibles From Days Gone By
I’m guessing that most sportsmen and women, like me, have long been a collector of what many folks would label just plain ole junk. For me having grown up in an outdoor family I was hunting, fishing, and trapping at a young age. Along with all that time spent in the outdoors comes a steady […]

How To Hunt Without A Gun
No doubt many readers of this blog are avid outdoorsmen and women. Perhaps you have been hunting and or fishing for decades, or maybe just a few years. If in fact you are a hunter or angler then you are probably accustomed to harvesting game by your own preferred methods. For me it is without […]
450 Bushmaster Ballistics (History, Uses)
The 450 Bushmaster rifle cartridge was developed because people like Jeff Cooper remained unimpressed with the ballistics of the .223/5.56 cartridge. While fast, it lacked the oomph needed to take down big game at longer distances. Cooper was a famous Marine who did wonders for the gun industry at large, and we owe many things […]
Firestarters for the Christmas Stocking
Fire starters for the outdoorsman If you’re a person who spends a lot of time in the outdoors then you most likely spend some time around a campfire. All outdoorsmen should know that the ability to make a fire can be critical to survival. I have long carried several methods of starting a fire when […]
A Deer Hunt with the Henry Long Ranger and Riton Optics
I have always been an admirer of lever guns. Having owned numerous old Winchester and Marlin lever rifles of days gone by I realized I had rarely hunted big game with one. Several years ago, I was fortunate to harvest a cow elk with a Winchester Model 71 in .348 Winchester. This year I decided […]
