The Brush-Up-Your-Blind Debate

As we place or reposition our ground blinds this season, how concealed do they need to be to keep from spooking deer?

The Truth About Elephant Hunting

The Crazy Internet Buzz: A video depicting the killing of a crop-raiding elephant in Zimbabwe by Godaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons has sparked a hot debate in the international news media.

The Rage X-Treme Broadhead

There is a lot of debate on whether mechanical broadheads can do the job of fixed blades. Doug Howlett put one of the most popular to the test.
