All right readers, it’s trophy-shot time! It’s that special time of year when we request proof of your hunting prowess. So, regardless whether you’ve spent time in a treestand in Kentucky, stacked the snow geese in South Dakota or bagged the big one overseas, if it ended in a kill you’re proud of, we want to see it! So find your trophy shots! Send us a photo of this season’s best and a 100-word description of when, where and how you filled your tag by March 11, and we’ll run the top entries in the magazine. It behooves you to take the time to get great photos in the field because if it’s good enough, your photo may even make the cover of American Hunter!

Hardware Review: Christensen Arms Evoke .375 H&H

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
