Gone are the days of pickup trucks, dog boxes and upland enthusiasts piling into small rural towns each fall.

Few things are steeped in as much pageantry and tradition as a proper English fox hunt. However, England banned fox hunting with hounds in the early 2000s. Further infringement on hunting rights in the U.K. followed suit. Finally, English sportsmen and houndsmen have formed a united front to try and take back their way of [...]

We talked about it countless times, but the severity of Colorado's hunting ban vote can't be overstated. It will affect all of us if Colorado votes to ban sustainable use hunting.

Legend has it that John Nosler had to shoot the moose 6 times. All of them well placed shots with his 300 H&H, yet the moose wouldn't go down. Upon returning home to Oregon from that 1946 British Columbia moose hunt, he knew he had to come up with something to more effectively put down [...]

If you haven't heard by now, The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation has raised the rent on non-resident hunters, and the rent went up substantially.

Protect 30 percent of our land mass and our oceans by 2030... sounds like a great idea, right? However, when you look at what this actually is and why the federal government is trying to buy up massive swaths of land, it becomes much more clear that this isn't the best thing for Americans. One [...]

When I read the press release from Texas Parks and Wildlife I was surprised to say the least. The multi year study on big largemouth bass revealed some interesting facts that I was unaware of. How big is a largemouth's home range? Do they migrate around their lake as the seasons and weather patterns change? [...]

The stories from being incarcerated alone are worth the price of admission in this one. However, the hard times only built character [...]

We revisit the audio vault this week. 3 time Bassmaster Angler of the Year Mark Davis deviates from largemouth to give us some tips on his favorite summer past time- bluegill fishing.
