The All-Purpose .41

To me and many others, the .41 is no longer the “Middle Magnum” or “Forgotten .41”. It is and has always been the All-Purpose .41. 

Kryptek Flyway Deadzone Review

I’ve spent this season in Kryptek’s new waterfowl line and what I’ve found is that I can hunt from 60 degrees and sunny down to temps so cold that the water has frozen while my decoys sat in it.

Silent Killers

According to Dr Miller and the CDC, 18 tick-borne diseases are now recognized in the United States. Some, naturally, are worse than others.

The Detailed Guide to Hunting Knives

There are an ever-growing number of companies making knives, and it can be frustrating to wade through the marketing and lingo so let’s break it down for today’s hunter.

Blood Trailing

Your ability to follow the traces an animal leaves behind will make the difference between success and failure because not every shot hits its mark.

An Optics-Ready Hunter: The Devil Dog Arms 5 Tactical 1911 in 10MM AUTO

Earlier this year, Devil Dog Arms (DDA) announced that its 1911’s were available in optics-ready versions, and I immediately asked for their 5 Tactical model in 10MM, specifically cut for the Trijicon SRO optic. I’d used and reviewed DDA’s 1911’s in the past and they were first-rate—accurate, reliable, and solid. But I had yet to use one of their 10MM models.

Take the Shot? A Mature Kudu Bull Offers A High-Speed Opportunity

Lunging for my rifle where it leaned against a bush, I slammed a cartridge home in the chamber. A big broken-horned kudu bull broke from the brush, racing full speed from right to left. Swinging with him, I watched my crosshairs catch up, swing through, and pass his vitals. My finger closed on the trigger

Moose Logistics of Alaska

As our air speed drained and the plane descended, a gust of wind came over the top of the ridge and hit the airplane on top of its wings and we dropped into the brush just short of the strip.

Turkeys: Public Land Diplomacy

We have all looked in the rear-view mirror while driving at 3:30 in the morning on the way to the local parking lot, only to get that sinking feeling in your gut when you see headlights. This is when you know that the race is on and your day just went from exciting and hopeful to competitive and rushed.

Why Not Texas?

Your thoughts are turning to spring adventures. You’re planning a turkey hunt or two, of course, but what else? My advice: Look to the Lone Star State.

Mountain Goats and Hurricanes

Steep country and mountain goats go together. The goats are built for rocky cliffs where few other animals can maneuver. Their feet are much more square than a deer or elk, and besides a hard edge

Whitetail: Go Deep … Then Go Deeper

This season, when you’re hunting public land, take a risk. Push past the perimeter sign. Move-in on bedding areas and put yourself in a position to kill a big buck.

Hunting in the West is full of unique challenges that need to be prepared for. Here are a few lessons I had to learn the hard way.

How I Killed A Bear With A BB Gun

  • by

I felt sore and disappointed and all kinds of things. I worked with hounds and horses, the same way humans have always done. It all leads up to the two-tenths of a second it takes a bullet to fly straight into my next meal.

Serious Punch! 50 Caliber Airforce Airguns’ Texan LSS .50 CF – Reviewed

Airguns are not limited to what they used to be: guns for training children on gun safety. These days, airgun technology is advancing to the point where we can shoot heavier projectiles faster than ever before out of production rifles. Because of this, they are a great option to take out hunting! This Texan LSS .50 CF will produce up to 750 ft./lbs of energy, which is as much as a .357 Mag or 44 Mag in some cases. Yes, this is hard to believe, but not when you are holding a 600 grain slug in your hand.

The Ultimate AR for Coyote Hunting

Over the last decade, the AR platform has gained popularity among coyote hunters and it’s easy to see why. Ideal cartridge size, semi-automatic capabilities, and the ability to customize the rifle are just a few of the reasons why black rifles have found a home in the world of coyote hunting.

Field To Freezer- Locavore Meat Processing

Many hunters find themselves having harvested a big game animal in an area that may require them to quarter the animal for ease of field removal. The key is to remove the quarters from the carcass or to remove the entrails as quickly as possible. This will help to cool the meat faster.

Top 5 Tips For Glassing Big Game

Brenton USA’s Ranger Carbon Hunter Goes Hog Hunting

Let’s face it, in the AR-15 world it’s easy to get lost in the vanilla black-rifle weeds. We reached a saturation point of sorts with semi-auto gas-operated systems quite a while ago, especially in terms of plain black rigs offered by “manufacturers” who simply assemble branded components provided by true third-party bulk-producers. Even so, some not-so-vanilla iterations have certainly risen above the others and deserve to be called out. The Brenton USA Ranger Carbon Hunter is one of them.

The Birthday Buck | Watch Video

“If it was easy, everyone would do it.” That was the thought going through my mind as I woke up to my alarm clock obscenely early yet again. The coffee pot was gurgling away as I dressed in the dark and tried not to wake my sleeping wife.

Holiday Gear Guide for Coyote Hunters

With Christmas right around the corner, I figured this would be the perfect time to discuss the latest and greatest gear in the predator hunting world. Santa has a lot on his plate nowadays and expecting him to know what gear is best for stacking up coyotes is a little unreasonable.

Kimber Subalpine Mountain Rifle

My rifle features a 24-inch stainless fluted barrel with a 1-in-9 rate of twist. It’s factory threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor and comes with a thread protector installed. The action is stainless and boasts a 3-position, model 70 type wing safety, a Mauser controlled-round-feed claw extractor, and a magazine capacity of four.
