“hunting whitetails”

Field Editor Brian McCombie had an opportunity to put SilencerCo-equipped firearms to use on a South Texas deer hunt. What's hunting whitetails with a suppressor like? Get Brian's take here.

After several years of study in “whitetail university” among the oak-covered landscape of his small piece of Kansas, the author has learned two valuable lessons: The deer do the teaching, and he’s a pretty dumb student.

If football is a game of inches, then hunting is a chase of split-seconds.

Here are a few of the most heavily-anticipated seminars at the upcoming Great American Outdoor Show.

Some areas are better than others for whitetails, but that doesn’t mean the grass is always greener someplace else.

Congratulations to American Hunter contributor Craig Boddington, who has been named as the recipient of the 2017 Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award.

Fitting of its name, the Minimalist is a svelte AR with just enough features to make it eminently practical in the woods. Weighing 6 pounds, it’s lighter than almost any centerfire bolt-, lever- or pump-action rifle you’ll see at deer camp.

While you can access the heart of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, a bastion for big bears, on horseback, success could leave you wishing for a canoe upon your return.

Deer rifles and the cartridges loaded in them have run the gamut the last 50 years, from the Winchester 94 in .30-30 Win. to the Weatherby Mark V in .30-378 Wby. Mag. and the DPMS ARL in 6.5 Creedmoor.
