This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Marlin Model 1895 Trapper. A big-bore lever action hearkening back to the days of the frontier, the Model 1895 Trapper boasts a big-loop lever, a threaded muzzle, and a maneuverable 16-inch barrel. While an optic can be added to the firearm, a set of Skinner Sights mounted straight from the factory prove incredibly quick and accurate. Learn more about this cowboy-action brush gun in the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,349; marlinfirearms.com

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
