UCO Clarus LED Lantern Flashlight Review
About.com Hunting / Shooting16 May 2013 | 12:26 amI don't often give five-star reviews, but this handy little light earned one. It's a lightweight, compact LED flashlight that converts quickly into a "lantern" that serves as a fairly good area light for truck, camp, or tent. I've used it in my truck, in my UTV, in the woods, and at camp, and it's never failed me yet. I have used a number of expensive big-name lights that didn't meet that basic requirement. And without exception, every gal who has seen this light in my presence has declared it to be CUTE! So, check out my review of this well-made, well-designed light....Read Full Post -

Review: Tipton Rapid Deluxe Bore Guide Kit
15 May 2013 | 12:52 amI've seen more exotic bore guides, but I've never used a kit as complete as this one. That's not to say it's all peaches & cream, though - and make sure you read the review before you pick this up to use on a rimfire gun. Personally, I'd rather see this kit sold at a price point commensurate with its quality - and that would be far below its MSRP of $34.99. A bore guide can be a good investment, but be sure you read this before you pull the trigger on a bore guide purchase....Read Full Post -
Stinger Shotgun Bore Cleaner Review
14 May 2013 | 12:48 amThis product isn't the most magnificent thing around, but it is cool and useful, and I can't help but like it. Cram one of these in your shotgun's chamber, and point the gun in a safe direction. Pull the trigger, and this shell goes bang and flings a string out the end of your shotgun's barrel. Glom onto the string and drag the cleaning stuff through the barrel, and you're done... depending on how dirty your barrel is. Check it out!...Read Full Post -
Tree Stand Safety
13 May 2013 | 2:00 pmHunting from tree stands gives deer hunters the advantage of height. This puts their scent above the noses of their quarry, and in some cases makes it less likely that the deer will spot them. But anytime you leave the ground, there's risk involved. Some stands shouldn't be used at all, and others are only safe under certain circumstances. Personally, I enjoy hunting from on high, and I've done a lot of it over the past few decades. I have managed to survive all of that without falling, so maybe I know a little about staying safe in tree stands......Read Full Post -

Turkey hunter on an “epic” quest
16 May 2013 | 8:14 pmBy the time you read this, Jeff Budz should be sound asleep. That’s because on Wednesday he finished a month-long, turkey-hunting odyssey that brought him within four states of bagging a tom turkey in 49 states.. “I’ve seen the sunrise every day for 34 days and had an average of four hours, 20 minutes of sleep for the past 31 days,” Budz said. “It has been an amazing journey.” Budz, a professional hunting guide formerly of Springfield and now living in Florida, is known for turkey-hunting grand slams, defined as harvesting all four wild turkey sub-species (Eastern, Merriam,… -
Wait for late-morning toms
10 May 2013 | 6:04 amThis late in the turkey season, most of the dumb toms have been deep-fried. Getting one close enough to shoot at can be challenging, if not completely frustrating. Because I am unburdened with high expectations, this is my favorite time to hunt turkeys. A successful turkey hunt for me has little to do with plucking a turkey and a lot to do with just being out there soaking up some springtime. I have no theory on how to hunt late-season birds. That makes me one of the very few hunters without one. Many experienced hunters say turkeys get call shy late in the season, especially in areas where… -
Hunting, fishing license sales in Kentucky total $7 million; set April record

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says sales totaled more than $7 million, a record for the month. Fish and Wildlife Budget Director Scott King says the mark broke the previous record by $140,000 and is $800,000 more than April's average. The agency says it has been offering convenience and opportunity for customers. Among the projects are a mobile app that allows searching for nearby fishing holes with GPS-enabled smart phones and using smart phones… -
Iowa officials seek comment on hunting, trapping
5 May 2013 | 7:38 pmDES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are encouraging the public to comment on proposed changes to several hunting and trapping seasons. The state Department of Natural Resources says the changes would affect furbearer season, resident deer hunting, waterfowl and pigeon seasons, as well as the wildlife refuge list. The changes range from adding more counties to the list of open areas for bobcats and reducing the quota of paid antlerless deer licenses. There are adjustments to waterfowl season dates, and proposed additions to the list of counties that are waterfowl refuges. Officials also… -
Ind. Senate blocks high-fence deer hunting bill

Ubelhor says he believes the step was needed to resolve an eight-year-old lawsuit over attempts by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to shut down the existing preserves where hunters pay for a chance to shoot deer confined inside high fences. Senate President Pro Tem David Long says he doesn't believe that the…

Silence – Paves Ways for Memories
30 Apr 2013 | 8:04 amToday was a most interesting day. Most probably the quietest day of my life. It started this morning at 6:30 AM when I felt Sue reach over the top of me and turn off the alarm. I asked her if the alarm had gone off and she said something and nodded her head. I immediately knew I had a problem as I never heard the alarm and I never heard Sue. All I could hear was my heart beat against my eardrums which gets annoying quickly but in itself is reassuring that life is going on. We have figured out I can communicate if she talks loudly directly towards my ear. In mid morning my left ear gave me… -

Though small in size, and even though it took a while, it was always on our radar to transfer it into public ownership,” said Blake Henning, RMEF vice president of Lands and Conservation. “It turned out the best way to do that was to make an outright donation.”Located approximately 10 miles north of Missoula, the Marent… -

When Good Scopes Go Bad — Making the Difficult Diagnosis
18 May 2013 | 6:20 amRiflescopes are mechanical contraptions. One of the sad realities about precision shooting is that, sooner or later, you will experience a scope failure. If you’re lucky it won’t happen in the middle of a National-level competition. And hopefully the failure will be dramatic and unmistakable so you won’t spend months trying to isolate the issue. Unfortunately, scope problems can be erratic or hard to diagnose. You may find yourself with unexplained flyers or a slight degradation of accuracy and you won’t know how to diagnose the problem. And when a 1/8th-MOA-click… -
Tips for Buying and Selling Gun Stuff Online
18 May 2013 | 4:49 amThese days, online gun auctions are busier than ever. Many folks are purchasing arms for the first time, and sellers are enjoying good prices for their wares based on increased demand. Some people even think that guns may be a safer investment than real estate or bonds at this time. That’s questionable, but this Editor finds it ironic that most of his guns have held their value while the price of gold has dropped over 25% in the past couple of years. For those with extensive collections (and gun safes bursting at the seams), this may be an opportune time to “thin out” your… -
Short-Range Benchrest Game Captured on Video
18 May 2013 | 12:40 amWe know that many of our readers have never personally participated in a short-range (100/200 yard) benchrest match. That’s understandable — moving backers are required in registered 100/200 benchrest (for group) matches, yet only a small percentage of ranges have that equipment. If you’re curious about the “point-blank” benchrest game, but haven’t had the chance to see it first-hand, check out this video created by youtuber “Taofledermaus”. On his YouTube Channel, you’ll find many other interesting shooting videos, including slow-motion…

2013 Spring Turkey
14 May 2013 | 8:39 pmI’ts hard to believe Spring turkey season will soon be over in Idaho. My dad and I started it off with lots of action and dad was able to bring home the bird in the first week of the season… it was another pricless time spent with my dad in the woods! The second week I had an opportunity at a nice gobbler, only 20 yards away. I must have gotten the fever … my arrow went right under him and all it did was ruffle a few feathers. The next week my niece came to try her hand at it. The gobblers were silent and all we had come into our setups were hens. Now I am looking at the end… -
Silence – Paves Ways for Memories
30 Apr 2013 | 8:04 amToday was a most interesting day. Most probably the quietest day of my life. It started this morning at 6:30 AM when I felt Sue reach over the top of me and turn off the alarm. I asked her if the alarm had gone off and she said something and nodded her head. I immediately knew I had a problem as I never heard the alarm and I never heard Sue. All I could hear was my heart beat against my eardrums which gets annoying quickly but in itself is reassuring that life is going on. We have figured out I can communicate if she talks loudly directly towards my ear. In mid morning my left ear gave me… -
Spin for Spring Bass
18 Apr 2013 | 1:06 amThe first large spring bass I ever caught circa 2000. April was created for two things: spring bear and monster spring bass. Since I’ve already established what this article will be about in the title, you can mostly ignore the spring bear part for now. With the weather beginning to do its April thing, fishing can be erratic, but if conditions are right, April is the best time of year to hook big smallies. You do you like hooking into big smallmouth, right? I bet you’ve never been asked, have you? Of course you haven’t – it’s a question nobody asks just like no one asks… -
If Hunting Was Like Baseball
4 Apr 2013 | 2:49 pmHow many baseball photos do you see on a hunting blog? Photo Michael Hicks The 2009 Seattle Mariners bounced back from a 101 loss season in 2008 to win 85 games and remain relevant in playoff discussion until September. 2009 also coincided with General Manager Jack Zduriencik’s first year on the job, and many Seattle fans saw him as the best thing to hit their town since Grunge Starbucks Microsoft Boeing. The promising finish in 2009 created excitement, and had fans throwing around terms like “playoffs” and “World Series” heading into the spring of 2010. The Mariner’s… -
A Chip and A Chair – My 2012 Deer Hunt Part 3
11 Mar 2013 | 7:00 amIn the west, it is imperative that one has quality optics as you may spend a good portion of your hunt looking through them. After a short lunch break we decided to relocate since we had surely spooked any game close by. It was late in the morning but I really wanted to hustle back up to “the point” to catch anything still moving around. It is a great vantage point to sit and glass from all day. You have a 360 degree view from this perch that is about 800 feet above the surrounding draws. When we arrived we pulled out the spotter and took turns napping and glassing for an hour. I was…

Improving Accuracy with an Air Gun
14 May 2013 | 3:22 amStealth, camouflage and knowledge of the quarry – all of these are important factors when hunting with air guns and air gun pellets because a hunter must get as close as possible to the prey to deliver the shot with the utmost accuracy possible. Increasing that accuracy is something for which every hunter should strive. It can be improved by doing several things. Using the right gun Hunters often overlook the importance of gun feel and fit when choosing their weapon. A hunter should be comfortable holding and shooting his air rifle in every conceivable position he might encounter in the… -

Wonderful Phone Calls to Receive
11 May 2013 | 4:25 amThere are some phone calls which elicit greater emotional reactions than others: "My plane just landed...I'll be home in an hour". "Hi Dad! I just called to say 'I love you' ". "Hey Larry, this is Bob. I drew an elk tag too!!!!" "The surgery went great. We can see her in about an hour." "I wrecked the car." "Larry, this is your taxidermist. Your feral hog mount is ready." This is the same boar from a story I shared last year about the stump that moved in the dark. Needless to say, my wife is VERY pleased with the new addition to the wall. +++++ A Man in the Woods -
When Rattlesnakes Attack

Like "... someone taking a full swing with a baseball bat and hitting me in the calf". A friend of mine who was bit by a copperhead on the thumb a year ago described it "... like a hot knife going in." +++++ A Man in the Woods (cautiously this time of year) -
One Man's Trash is Another Man's Deer Stand
1 May 2013 | 9:02 amAs is often the case, I'm confused. One man's trash... The other day while driving home, I noticed someone had replaced part of their fence. The old, slightly "experienced" fence boards were stacked by the curb awaiting heavy-trash day. Sensing an opportunity and acutely aware of the limited cargo capacity of my Volvo, I rushed home to change clothes and retrieve the truck. My kids were somewhat shocked that I was going to drive up to a stranger's house, knock on their door and essentially ask if I could have their trash. I've done some brazen things in the past (like… -
When Beavers Attack
26 Apr 2013 | 10:15 amSeveral years ago, a friend and I were fishing at the extreme North end of Lake Conroe in a creek that feeds into the lake. The lake was down several feet and a great deal of the structure along the bank that was normally underwater was exposed. We paddled the tiny 3' x 10' jon boat past a particularly nasty looking snag which would have been ideal crappie habitat had it been submerged. As we both commented on the fish holding capacity of the snag, IT happened. Something exploded from this tangle and plunged into the water like an possessed depth charge, only to disappear… -
Blame Storming: A Decision Tool for our Media
22 Apr 2013 | 9:48 pmIt has been a crazy few weeks. Nutjobs in Boston blowing people up and running from the law. (Nothing says "my religion is better than your religion" like a nail bomb.) Fertilizer plants in TX blowing up and destroying half a town. Idiot former Justice of the Peace murdering 3 people over stolen computer monitors. All of these are unfortunate events. Our collective prayers go out to the victims and their families. I shouldn't be but I have been a bit surprised at the differences in levels of coverage and styles of coverage and commentary from the "mainstream" media…

Is It Safe To Carry? This App Will Tell You.
17 May 2013 | 2:38 pmI’ve recently taken a renewed liking to Twitter, and after catching up with old tweeps (Twitter speak for "Twitter peeps"), I started to do a little searching for new kids on the block or old kids who I never had the chance to connect with. In the process, I stumbled across a cool new smartphone app called “SafeToCarry."

An Introduction To Beaver Hunting
16 May 2013 | 7:19 amThis is a varmint and predator hunting blog, so it's only fitting that we spend a little time looking at hunting the largest rodent in North America. Compared to prairie dogs, rats and other rodents, this critter is a relative monster. Forty- and 50-pound animals aren't uncommon, and there are stories about big ones that tip the scales at 100 pounds. That's a rodent twice the size of a big coyote. -

Chiappa 1887 Lever Action Shotgun More fun than you can stand
18 May 2013 | 12:43 pmMay 15, 2013, Dayton, OH, MKS Supply–Chiappa’s 1887 lever action shotgun is a faithful copy of the 1887 Winchester. The original Browning designed Winchester 1887 was the first repeating shotgun. With its ability to carry up to 7-rounds it was the first high-capacity shotgun to boot. No more double barrel, this fast firing lever action shotgun held 5-rounds in the tubular magazine and fully loaded it would also hold one more round in the receiver and one in the chamber for a total of 7 and it works lightning quick and especially so for those times. Back in 1887 the… -

13 May 2013 | 8:02 amI like Randy (Ticklishtompro) from the Turkey & Turkey Hunting forums. Nice guy. Went hunting with him this past weekend.Thing is, I wish we'd have heard or seen some turkeys. Beautiful woods, sure, but it was deathly quiet that morning, and we couldn't get anything going. Finally, we just gave up and went home.I'm not sure what the deal was. Maybe we just couldn't get close to any. Could we have spooked them on the limb? I suppose. And it was bad weather. That must be it. Rain and wind will shut them up like nothing else. Ah, whatever it was, the day was just unmemorable.Editor's note:… -

Can You Age a Gobbler By His Beard?
7 May 2013 | 11:52 amI know some people who claim they can age gobblers by the length of their beards. This is contrary to most information I've heard. What's the truth? — Mike Ivy, Port St. Lucie, Fla.By viewing the beard of a live turkey, you can easily tell whether the bird is 1 (jake) or at least 2 (adult gobbler). And for a bird in hand, you can tell whether the bird is a jake, 2-year-old gobbler or an older gobbler. A jake, obviously, will have a short — typically 3- to 4-inch — beard. The beard of a 2-year-old gobbler will have substantial amber coloration at the tips. A beard gets its black color… -
Again With the Quickness

When I finally left for the woods, I was running about 20 minutes later than I wanted to be. I kicked myself for it, too. At about 4:18 a.m., I realized it was getting light to the east."Crap," I thought. "No sneaking in this morning."Not unless I wanted to bust turkeys, at least. I had planned to use darkness to slip into an open flat near a steep ridge where turkeys often roost. But because I was late, I'd have to find a tree atop the ridge and settle in swiftly.As I…
