For those of us born in the middle of the last century there is a romantic connection to the lever-action rifle.

It’s happened again. A hunter accidentally shot and killed his guide on a brown bear hunt in Alaska.

Barnes Bullets, the Utah based manufacturer of lead-free bullets, has a new 62-grain 6 mm/.243-caliber Varmint Grenade bullet out now that should make shooters of this caliber happy.

Missing Can Make You a Better Shot

I have just returned from my first scouting trip for the season. Out here in Wyoming scouting is a bit different than our whitetail hunting brethren do elsewhere—mostly in terms of scale.

Most of us are guilty of allowing our shooting skills to deteriorate. I am guilty of it. Too often I’ll go to the range for a quick sight-in or to wring out a test gun and not take the time to hone my basic field shooting skills.

Alzada, MT—Thompson/Center’s first headstamped cartridge—the .30 TC—is hardly new. In fact, it was announced several years ago, along with T/C’s first repeater, the Icon.

After knocking down a few roosters over my little setter, I decided to resurrect an old favorite pheasant recipe.

I know several hunters who really don’t care for game meat. Whether it’s their tender palate or that of others in their family, but when they try game meat that has been properly prepared, most are willing to reevaluate their prejudices. One buddy of mine jerks every deer he gets, even the backstraps and tenderloins! He says his wife doesn’t like game meat, but his grandkids love jerky.
