Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting /

As unbelievable as it seems, the calendar has already flipped to August. Naturally, as is tradition, I’m way behind on my offseason chores. Overall, I feel a lot better than I have the past couple of years, but I can’t deny I’d love to be farther ahead than I am. 
Though food plots are all buttoned up, there are still a few stands to trim, lots of target practice to fit in, and public land to scout.

Don’t break the bank when buying a .22 rimfire scope, but don’t make the mistake of going “cheap” either. Traditionally .22 scopes have been seen as inexpensive sights. Many caused more shooting problems than they solved. One of the biggest was poor accuracy.
How can a magnified sight picture lead to poorer accuracy? Poor image quality, excessive flare, and parallax.

A long-time archer reflects on 70 years of flinging arrows

Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

Of course I remember, it was red. It was red and even then I knew it was big medicine. Not only that, I was with my father. We’d go over to a neighbor’s house, easily done as the big backyards ran into one another, where bales of straw had been set up against the wall of a large barn.

Two Upper Peninsula lawmakers want to block state funding for wolf management until the Michigan Department of Natural Resources establishes a hunting season, a move opposed by the state’s largest conservation organization.
