“late season”

As a blogger/editor/writer for the fine publications of the NRA, I often field and answer questions from deer hunters. These queries, like the hunters that ask them, come in all shapes and sizes.

There’s nothing worse than a muzzleloader that goes “Pfffttt” instead of “Boom!” And why does it seem that failures occur most often during late-season hunts?

Here the author offers up tips on how to lure in predators that have learned prey-in-distress calls are too good to be true.

Every big-game hunt is a great opportunity, but not every hunt will turn out as you hope, because getting lucky in the draw is just the first hurdle.

Here are a few of the more common gun problems that can occur in the field and how to deal with them without ending your hunt.

Inspired by Steven Rinella’s “Top Game Meats,” here is another author’s take on a his favorite wild-game fare.

Bowhunters who concentrate only on the peak of the rut pass up some of the best elk hunting of the season.

Once the rut arrives, bucks spend their days avoiding hunters, sleeping and recovering in hiding spots, and you need to execute a home invasion to extract them.

Small hidden holes of water like millponds can provide some of the most enjoyable shooting of the year.
