00:00:02 Speaker 1: We still cut trees down by hand. We still handcut.

00:00:02 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to The Houndation’s podcast. I’m your host, Tony Peterson, and today’s episode is all about training during the off season and the tools we can all use to encourage better progress with our dogs, no matter how old they are. It’s pretty easy to let a good dog loaf around in the winter after a long hunting season, but a better approach is to just keep training while bird contacts and real world hunting experience can round a dog out in a way that no training ever will. There’s no denying that the time…

In late 1929, when the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began, the population of the United States was around 121.7 million people. All through the Great Depression, it was unheard of to leave roadkill on the side of the road left to rot. With high unemployment,  the hunting pressure was heavy. Small game, like rabbits and squirrels, nearly went extinct in large parts of the United States from being over-hunted, to feed desperate families. Today, in 2026, the estimated population of the US is 348.3 million. If animals were being hunted to near extinction when the population was…

Rifle-cartridge innovation has historically focused on velocity. Weatherby built its company and reputation on this premise. This began to change as the 6.5 Creedmoor rose to stardom. For the last decade, the emphasis has been on faster twists and higher ballistic-coefficient (BC) bullets. Hornady has exploited this very well with its Creedmoor, PRC and ARC cartridges. With its RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) line of cartridges, Weatherby combined fast twists with what it does best—high velocity—and the company has created a new .257-caliber cartridge called the 25 Weatherby RPM. Introduced in 1963, the .284 Win. was a failure by most any…

This will sound self-contradictory, but it is not: the Traditions Firearms Nitrobolt Rifle is a bolt-action muzzle-loader. The primer and the powder charge cartridge are loaded through the breech via bolt action. The bullet is loaded through the muzzle with a ramrod. This hybrid action offers the powder-charge-consistency and weather-resistance of a breechloading rifle while being legal to use during muzzleloading season in 29 states at the time of this writing. The Nitrobolt uses Federal Premium FireStick polymer encapsulated powder charges. The FireStick charges use Hodgdon Triple Eight powder. Triple Eight burns more cleanly than black powder or other black…
