Field Tested: Chief Upland Over/Under Hunting Vest

The whistle rang in my ears as the Vizsla wheeled on cue. No pheasant there. The lack of a bird didn’t dim her spirits, however, as the dog’s excited bounce belied. Onward she ran, down row after row of stiff sorghum stalks in pursuit of her prey.

Gear Guide 2018: Upland

We expect our gear to do what it was made to do, to hold up to the beating we give it, time and time again. Here are our upland selections for 2018.

Big Smoke Buffalo

We were on a mission to hunt the African troublemaker with muzzleloaders. Our mantra: Better get that first shot right.

Hardware: Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine

Henry’s Big Boy Steel Carbine has traditional lever-action lines but retains Henry’s signature cutout in the magazine tube, through which cartridges are loaded and unloaded. Though somewhat unconventional in appearance and function, it makes the lever gun infinitely easier and safer to unload at hunt’s end.

Hardware: Henry Model H010

Few hunting rifles can knock the dust off nostalgia with the same force they hammer a deer. Henry "gets it" and recently added a .45-70 to its stable of American-made lever guns.
