It's that time of year again—The SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show is back. SHOT Show is the world's largest and most comprehensive trade show for shooting, hunting and law enforcement industries, and the AmericanHunter.org team will be on hand at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. from Monday, Jan. 14 to Friday, Jan. 18 in order to bring you all the latest news and releases.

The ecological damage inflicted by wolf packs in the western region of the United States doesn't often reach the ears of hunters and outdoorsman in other portions of the country—it's a battle that's often fought quietly, if at all.

State wildlife officials from the Cowboy State announced that a pack of wolves had killed 19 elk near Bondurant, Wyo., in what they're calling a "surplus killing" incident.

A special congratulations to American Hunter/NRA-HLF Senior Editor Karen Mehall Phillips who received a Professional Outdoor Media Association’s (POMA) 2018 Outstanding Achievement Pinnacle Award in the “Conservation” category for her NRA Hunters’ Leadership Forum article, “Lying About Lions: Fake News Exposed as Hunters Fight Fiction with Facts.”

There are tougher big game animals out there. But bears are bears, and a poorly-hit bear that escapes into thick cover and must be tracked can be bad news.

A year of lockdown has everyone ready to hit the field, but the good news is you don’t have to wait until fall. Here are five hunts you can enjoy this spring without breaking the bank.

Some marvel at the terminal energy of the .338 Lapua. Others do the same for the .50 BMG. Personally it's the versatility and power of the 12-gauge shotgun that most intrigues me. Its close-range energy is just devastating—the equivalent of about four simultaneous rounds of .45 ACP.

Choosing a scope for this rifle was a bit agonizing (in a good way, like deciding between the Porterhouse and the Filet).
