The BANISH suppressor cuts so much noise, even the rodeo horses are calm … Strong and silent … it’s the cowboy way.

You may have heard of them; they’re the world’s largest and oldest…
Who needs Plesiosaurs, when we have sturgeon? The animal that many scientists believe is responsible for “lake monster” sightings is actually the sturgeon. These amazing fish can survive in both salt- and freshwater, and some subspecies are capable of growing to 24 feet (yes, 24 feet!) in length. Lake sturgeon can weigh up to 200…

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….
Well, well, well … what do you know? Sportsmen’s votes and voices count again! Isn’t it strange how, all of a sudden, the voices of reason and freedom are being respected again? The latest example: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service have reversed their proposed closure of 100% of the Bears…
Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences … a bipartisan idea whose time has come. Not everything has to be a question of Political Left vs. Political Right. Some laws just make sense to just about everyone, and the EXPLORE Act seems to be one of them. The majesty of the outdoors and the beauty of…
Did you know that, in 2007, bald eagles were removed from the “endangered species” list? All over the nation, America’s national symbol is recovering from near-extinction. Although they’re still protected, Americans who grew up only seeing eagles in photos are now finding eagle nests in their back yards. The grand raptors have returned to the…
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.
