In partnership with Rough Country Outfitters and Friends of NRA, Zeiss is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for two hunters, 21 years or older, who are legal residents of the United States or Canada, to experience an all-expenses paid, guided pronghorn antelope dream hunt in September 2015.

To enter the contest, interested parties must nominate a hunting partner with whom they would want to share the dream hunt.

"For many hunters, a trophy pronghorn dream hunt is one for the bucket list, and we want hunters to name the person with whom they would most want to share this once-in-a-lifetime moment," said Michael A. Jensen, President of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics. "At Zeiss, we believe in maximizing every moment of a quality and ethical hunt. And that's how we'll select the winner—we're looking for the perfect team who are ready to savor the joy of a quality trophy pronghorn hunt."

The winning entry will be awarded a three-day hunting trip guided by Rough Country Outfitters. The winner, along his or her hunting partner, will receive round-trip airfare, licenses, lodging, shoulder mounts, and game meat processing. Zeiss riflescopes and binoculars will also be included in the prize package.

On this week's #SudnayGunday, we’re checking out the Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. All it takes is once glance to tell this is not your granddad’s revolver. Chiappa has flipped the script on wheelguns quite literally, aligning the barrel with the bottommost chamber of the cylinder, rather than the top. This low bore axis makes the gun recoil directly back into the hand, rather than pulling the muzzle up and away from your grip. Learn more about it in this exclusive video.

Member's Hunt: The Dogger’s Window

A dogger’s goal while pushing deer is to drive the prey into a pocket formed by others in his gang, those hunters who are posted about a hundred yards apart along strategic locations up to a half-mile away from the dogger’s starting point. When everyone is in position, the dogger weaves his way through the woods into the wind and pocket formed by the other hunters. The approaching sound of the dogger snapping twigs and crunching leaves alerts unsuspecting deer.
