I got a call a few weeks back during the Kansas late season from a friend who is a fantastic scout. Actually when he called I was scouting myself, maybe 60 miles West of him, but he found a better plan than anything I could glass up. You could tell from his voice that he [...]

Earn a Bonus Point by Taking the Arizona Hunter Education Course
Hunter education courses play an important role in the education of new hunters throughout the US. In Arizona, young hunters can pursue big game at the age of 10; but, only if they have successfully completed a hunter education course.

Wisconsin Wolves Killing More Hunting Dogs
A report issued this week by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources indicates gray wolves are becoming increasingly troublesome for farmers and hunting dog owners across the state, killing a record number of animals in 2010.
Wolves attacked or killed livestock on a total of 47 Wisconsin farms last year, up from 28 farms in 2009 and from the previous high of 32 farms in 2008. Douglas County led the list with 12 livestock attacks. Sixteen other northern counties also reported problems with wolves.

Right to Hunt Bill
Let’s face it; hunting has been around since the beginning of mankind and that wild primal urge is still alive and well within all of us today. At least for the time being! It’s important to remember that throughout our history, hunters have helped shape and mold the true American spirit. In fact, one can even argue that hunters have played a monumental role in carving out a new nation from a harsh wilderness environment and the tyrannical rule of an English King. The woodsmanship skills of hunters have been clearly evident throughout every American challenge, struggle, conflict, and war in our history.

Study on Hibernation
Six months without eating, drinking, going to the bathroom or even cracking a newspaper. Bears have it rough in the winter, and relatively little research has been done on how these guys avoid starvation and muscle atrophy during their months off. Now a study conducted by the University of Fairbanks looks to shed some light [...]

Obama Speaks on Great Outdoors Initiative
President Obama was joined by business leaders in the outdoors industry in speaking about his initiative to get more people out into nature.

Chinese Magician and Magic Fish
It might be worth a few die hard fisherman to learn this art of controlling fish to swim in synchronization. There’s even the illusion of making fish disappear, which would be handy when the warden showed up. Interesting, if you can get beyond the language.
