Too much gun? What does it mean? Simple. It means shooting a firearm, any firearm, that isn’t enjoyable to shoot because it abuses the body in one way or another.

Many hunters considered the 16-gauge a near-perfect gauge and it’s making a comeback.

Injuries and health issues are a part of life, and I know I’m not the first hunter to suffer an injury less than a month out.

Sadly, bad things can happen on hunts, especially when roaming the backcountry.

I’ve been addicted to archery pronghorn hunting for 25 years, and my favorite method is duping a buck with a decoy.

Few things trump a backcountry wilderness adventure but make no mistake, these far-off-the-beaten path hunts have been over-romanticized and can be flat miserable if you’re not prepared.

When you draw a coveted tag you’ve waited a lifetime for, the preparation starts the day you pull the tag.

One of the best ways to break the routine, sharpen your bow shooting skills, and prepare for a freezer-filling fall is to pen the dotted line and enter a few (as many as you can) 3-D shoots. 

I’m a bit of a backpack fanatic and I’ve tested piles of them over the years. One of the things I’ve learned is there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each adventure — from the whitetail woods of the Midwest to the elk-rich Rockies — requires a particular pack.
