“grizzlies”

Pursuit of any number of Western bird species just may lead to the buck or bull of your dreams.

A billboard reading, “Wanna see bears? SAY NO! TO TROPHY HUNTING,” was spotted by NRAHLF.org contributor Keith Crowley just outside Yellowstone National Park. The sign stands as a grizzly-sized testament to the anti-hunting crowd’s ignorance on the matter of wildlife management.

After 42 years of federal protection, the USFWS has ruled to remove the Yellowstone grizzly bear from the Endangered Species List.

In western Canada’s mountains, great game and hunting traditions come together.

All the best camouflage, riflescopes and accoutrement pale in comparison to a bullet that will settle the score between you and a mammal that is equal parts claws, jaws and brawn.

It’s as big as the Grand Canyon, it’s right at home when chambered in a classic lever gun like the Winchester Model 1886, the Marlin Model 1895 or a classic Sharps falling block, and like America herself, it’s big enough to handle Alaska. Meet the "Most American" rifle cartridge: the .45-70 Government.

Many hunters believe that hunting is banned on all national parks, but the truth is, many parks specifically permit it.

Earlier this month, the USFWS announced that after 41 years of Endangered Species Act protection, the grizzly bear population in the Greater Yellowstone Area has recovered, prompting it to delist the iconic species and turn over its management to the states.

Three western states tout booming grizzly bear populations, thanks to four decades of conservation efforts resulting in the species now hitting carrying capacity.
