Here’s an idea for a New Year’s resolution: Get your proud mug in the June issue of American Hunter magazine! Whether it’s a monster bull, a limit of upland birds, a wide, tall buck, or any other game animal you’re proud of, we want to see it and share it. Get out your camera and start snapping photos! And remember, nothing beats a natural background, so please, take some extra time to get great shots in the field.

Send us a photo and a 100-word description of when, where and how you filled your tag by March 17, and we’ll run the top entries in the magazine this June. The more details you provide, the better.

If you email us digital images, please make sure the resolution is as high as possible. Send entries to: American Hunter, Members’ Best, 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, or email them to [email protected]. Include your contact information and NRA membership number. Photos will not be returned.

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
