An insightful and inspiring conversation with Laramy!

While wandering the Outdoorsman's Days expo area here in Florence CO today, the shiny single bevel broadheads from IRON WILL caught my attention, and then the "history of bowhunting" t-shirt & related backstory is what really pulled me in. This shirt is easy to love as it simply and elegantly conveys the true story that from days of antiquity to current modernity... hunting has been an intrins...

Imagine having 40% of the public land in your state closed to hunt/harvest of ALL species, regardless of wildlife abundance and ecosystem health!!  Proposals on par with this are being considered and promoted for California's coastal waters.

"Anti-hunting is colonialism" Max Fennell said this back in 2021, and more people are saying it now.  Max is an "adult onset hunter" here in California, who is discovering and connecting with his ancestry while also getting closer to the land, nature and sustenance through wild game. He's an entrepreneur, former professional triathlete. Max exemplifies the diversity of age, experience, ethnicity,...

Listen. Share. Take Action. The Vermont legislature is in the midst of debating and deciding the fate of Senate Bill 258 (S. 258).  Through a well refined political strategy there is a coalition of anti-hunting interests who want to over-turn a proven and successful regulatory framework. S258 would strip rule-making capacity away from the Advisory Board, and give it to a Dept. which is headed up b...

Nearly 150 MILLION Americans live within 2 hours of an ocean... so the concept of "hunting the coastal waters" is something that we all need to be aware of and support. Just like hunting, angling opportunity is part of the basic human experience, and as a community we need to be concerned about habitat quality, access and opportunity.  Nearly 1200 pages of petitions have recently been submitted to...
