    Lightweight short action deer rifle

    I have an itch to get a new lightweight, shorter barreled rifle for use in the thick woods of PA. Shot ranges here are more likely to be measured in two digits than three, so I am willing to give up some velocity for easy carry. Also we do drives for deer and bear through swamps/thickets and a...

    Trump Wildlife Advisory Board

    Saw this article from AP posted in USA Today. https://usat.ly/2phM1Z9 I wonder if some changes will take place based on science and facts or if the “cecil” syndrome will continue?

    USA: Pronghorn In NW Colorado

    Went on a pronghorn hunt the first week of October with my 17 yr old son and another dad and son. It was my sons first outing as he has never shown much interest in hunting. He is very involved in High school lacrosse and his friends and the teenage social scene have been a higher priority...

    3D archery humor

    Bill C and I went to an outdoor show today and shot a fun 3D archery course. Here is a picture of one of the targets. Can you guess which shot was Bill's? Lol [emoji23]. I didn't realize Bill also has a side job neutering animals.

    Has anyone any experience with calling in Caracal?

    Anyone have any experience calling in Caracal? If yes, what kind of call would you recommend? I may want to try this in a few month in a few months when I return to SA (hunting in the NW). I would bring an electronic call if I thought I had a chance at something. Thx!

    Building A Heavy Arrow

    I am building a heavy arrow for my hunt this coming year in SA and I wanted to put it out on AH for comments.
