    REACTION: Trump’s Make America Beautiful Again Agenda

    July 8, 2025July 21, 2025 UpdatedJuly 21, 2025

      A little while ago, we identified a portion of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that we, along with many others, felt was detrimental to our enjoyment of public lands. As it turns out, that portion of the bill was removed by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). Yes, you read that correctly; the Republican majority in Congress…

    How Gun Owners’ Taxes Help Restore Elk Herds

    March 4, 2025March 4, 2025

    It’s nice to see our taxes working towards something we support, isn’t it? This new video, courtesy of our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) highlights the significant impact of Pittman-Robertson Act funding on the successful restoration and management of Pennsylvania’s elk population. For decades, the excise taxes paid by firearm, ammunition and…

    Dumb Poachers Hall of Fame: The Koi Pond Spearfishers

    February 11, 2025February 11, 2025

    There’s evil, there’s stupid and evil, and then there are these guys. Some poachers are smart enough to steal and waste wildlife at times and places where their crimes won’t be seen. Luckily for us and for the wildlife, for most people, the decision to poach automatically results in a loss of 20 IQ points….

    BLM Kicks Recreational Shooters Out of Bears Ears National Monument

    October 8, 2024October 9, 2024 UpdatedOctober 9, 2024

    Ever got so mad that Donald Trump exists that you deleted a million acres? Me neither! But the Biden/Harris administration did. And no, I’m really not exaggerating about the reasoning behind this latest development; there were no studies done to justify closing down 1.36 million acres to recreational shooting. We learned this back in June,…

    It’s Not Easy Seeing Green: The Colorblind Outdoorsman

    October 1, 2024

    If any of those look the same to you, I have bad news for you, my friend … Did you know that there’s such a thing as International Color Blindness Awareness Month? Did you know that colorblindness is about as common as left-handedness (among men) and nearly as rare as being an identical twin (among…

    It’s like having Daniel Boone, a lawyer, and a soothsayer in your pocket! As an older hunter, I’ll always tout the importance of knowing how to use a compass and topo map to navigate, because I can’t quite trust my cellphone to have a signal wherever I am. That said, the new hunting tools you…

    Mixed Messages: Hunting to Expand on National Wildlife Refuges

    August 6, 2024August 15, 2024 UpdatedAugust 15, 2024

    As outdoorsmen, we’re getting some mixed messages from D.C. here … Just a couple of months ago, we learned that the Bureau of Land Management had–perhaps somewhat prematurely–announced that it intends to end recreational shooting at the Sonoran Desert National Monument. What was particularly strange about this event was that there really wasn’t any justification…

    Safari Club International Wildlife Museum Closes, Auctions Taxidermy

    Most hunters will never see an animal like this in the wild … but if you want to pretend you did, now’s your chance! The International Wildlife Museum of the Safari Club International Foundation permanently closed on December 31, 2023. The museum housed nearly 2,000 taxidermy mounts and skulls. In the wake of this closure,…
