Don’t have a large amount of land to hunt? Use these strategies to score big on small property.

Debating an anti-hunter can quickly become a lesson in futility if you don’t have your arguments in order. Our author passes on a few tricks learned from a recent seminar on the topic.

While hunting participation at the nationwide level is down, license sales in Western and Southeastern states are booming.

On Aug. 1, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., handed down its 54-page ruling on Great Lakes wolves: Gray wolves will remain protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and state management will not be allowed.
