“hunter safety system”

Despite the widespread availability of safety equipment, it happens every year: Hunters are severely injured—or worse—falling from treestands. Don’t become another statistic.

Treestands, like other pieces of equipment, need some “winterizing” treatment. Before storing your stands, inspect them for these signs of wear and tear.

Be their tails white or black, be they donkey-eared with wide crowns or basket-racked desert dwellers, the pursuit of deer across this land is as American as it gets. Here’s a look at the new gear that will get you there, keep you there and, we hope, return home stained a little red.

Editor in Chief J. Scott Olmsted this morning presented outdoor-industry leaders with American Hunter’s best-in-class awards.

We believe there is no greater recognition of a company’s quest for excellence than having a product touted as “best in class”—the standard by which all others are measured. And so it is with great honor that American Hunter again presents its annual best-in-class awards to firearms and gear that clearly rise above the rest.

The editors of American Hunter have announced the recipients of the magazine's 2015 Golden Bullseye Awards.
