There is always a new bowhunting lesson to learn—sometimes the hard way. Here’s a basic mistake that's easier to make than you might think.

Bass Pro Shops has opened a new pyramid-shaped superstore, designed to be a national destination experience, in downtown Memphis.

History, art and aerospace buffs often flock to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to tour the many museums of the Smithsonian. What's potentially lacking, we must say, is a destination for those that want to learn more about the outdoors. Yes, there are a number of hunter-friendly institutions sprinkled across the nation—like the NRA Whittington Center—but we're still lacking a be-all, end-all museum dedicated to our passion. That will change in 2016, with the upcoming opening of the new Johnny Morris Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium.

After months of rumor and speculation, Bass Pro Shops has announced it will acquire longtime competitor Cabela’s for about $5.5 billion, which equates to $65.50 per share. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2017, subject to the customary conditions and review.

Winter turkey hunting? You'd better believe it.

Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium has won USA Today’s contest for 2017’s Best New Attraction.

Tennessee is holding a raffle for a 2018 bull elk tag at $10 per raffle ticket, and Bass Pro Shops is outfitting the raffle winner with a Tikka T3X Lite Stainless bolt-action rifle in 7mm Rem. Mag. topped with an Oculus Pro Team HD 3-9X40mm scope.

Why spend the money when great taxidermy can be done at home for less?

Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris is personally donating 1 million FDA-approved ASTM Level 1 Procedure Face Masks to healthcare workers and first responders working on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis across the United States.
