Join the Hunt: To Hunt is to Travel

Whether we merely drive across the state or plan a lavish safari to parts unknown, hunting affords us the chance to travel mentally and physically. As we actively recruit and reactivate hunters, it’s important to retain our own zeal for the hunt, for when it comes to refreshment there is no substitute for new game and new ground.

Review: Remington 360 Buckhammer

The 360 Buckhammer is far from just a Midwestern-only straight-wall cartridge. It has the potential to become one of the all-time great deer cartridges.
