Is poaching is the “gateway drug” to antisocial behavior? A few months ago, we here at Popular Outdoorsman noted that there are very good reasons why you ought to suspect poachers of doing worse things, too. Poaching is the polar opposite of the way ethical hunters think and behave. It also seems to be a…
The worst day hunting is better than the best day in the office…unless you’re hunting with these guys. Those of us blessed enough to make a living writing about hunting and the outdoors have a few little secrets. One of them is that when we’re on assignment, we often don’t have much choice in who…
The video calls it “torture testing.” CrossBreed calls it “Thursday.” Is there anything more fun than seeing whether or not a gun, its holster, and the target can stand up to 1,000 rounds? (Well, maybe getting 1,000 rounds of free ammunition…but we’ll get to that in a moment!) In this video, CrossBreed Holsters, the SIG…
Hi, City Folks! We’re your new country neighbors, and this is your welcome basket. If you live in the country, chances are quite good that you’ve noticed that land prices are shooting up and you’re seeing more and more people with “Coexist” stickers on their bumpers than ever before. If you live in the city,…
Tired of sacrificing accuracy to speed (or vice-versa)? The awesome thing about a rifle with a straight-pull action is that shot-to-shot recovery is incredibly fast for a bolt gun…but the not-so-awesome thing is that most straight-pull actions sacrifice accuracy. Savage Arms is here to change that with its new IMPULSE straight-pull bolt gun, perfect for…
Because baby, it’s cold outside! If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent more of your life than you want to admit trying to put your Boy Scout fire-building badge to use. From the holiday hearth to the depths of the wilderness, a warm, cozy fire offers everything from comfort and joy to continued survival. Realtree…
Let’s have a merry Christmas, the Kahr Firearms way! Is there anything more heartwarming than watching the next generation of American Second Amendment supporters grow up? As it turns out, the answer is “yes,” and it’s the sound of Danyela D’Angelo‘s family and their .50-caliber Magnum Research Desert Eagles. If you’re not familiar with Danyela,…
CrossBreed Holsters’ chest rig is the ultimate outdoorsman’s carry method…here’s why. There’s a lot of discussion in the gun-rights world about concealed carry, but for many of us it’s a moot question because we spend most of our time in the great outdoors. When you don’t have to worry about keeping your iron hidden, you…
My God, it’s full of stars… Stanley Kubrick would be proud: On November 18, 2020, the Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau found a mysterious monolith deep within the worst of southeastern Utah’s badlands. The metallic plinth, which looks just like the one in 2001: Space Odyssey, appeared in an area so remote that…
I want to believe…but first, a little due diligence. A little while back we ran an article about the reasons why the legend of Bigfoot will never die. I did neglect to mention one reason why hunters and outdoorsmen still whisper about Sasquatch over their campfires: Because hunters and outdoorsmen still see Sasquatch. Fairly frequently,…
Some barrels, they say, are just worth bragging about… When Steyr Arms announced that their hotly anticipated Pro Hunter II rifle was ready just in time for whitetail season, discerning hunters rejoiced. This bolt-action beauty upholds the exacting standards for which Steyr rifles are famous, with a remarkably wallet-friendly price. But how does it stack…
When tenderfeet get lost, nobody wonders. But how do experienced outdoorsmen just “disappear”? Every year, hundreds of thousands of hunters head into the woods, and the overwhelming majority of them come home a few hours later. But every so often, experienced outdoorsmen go missing…and we’re left wondering how it could possibly have happened. A few…
