In this week, we’re diving into this whitetail dilemma of a serious tear hunter that sometimes people fall into the traps where you do all these different things, you work really hard, but you’re not necessarily seeing the results that you’re hoping to see. 00:00:18 Speaker 1: And so is this a behavioral thing? Is this doing too much? 00:00:22 Speaker 2: Is this not realizing as the harder you work, your goals also evolved. And we…

At the conclusion of the American Civil War, the U.S. military developed a new kind of rifle that could accept a self-contained metallic cartridge. Eventually, this spawned an entire line of breechloading firearms collectively known as “Trapdoor Springfields” that armed American troops from the 1860s until the turn of the 20th century. Of all the designs, one of the most refined and popular was the Model 1884 Trapdoor Springfield. Watch our “American Rifleman Television: I Have This Old Gun” segment above to see the details of the ’84 Trapdoor. “There were various systems. The British had the Snider conversion for…

This past winter in northern Southeast Alaska broke the record for snowfall, getting more than 200 inches in my hometown.The last time we had a similar winter was in ‘06-’07, when the Alaska Department of Fish & Game asked hunters to kill fawns out of mercy. During my last hunt that season, I remember lying in my sleeping bag listening to fawns calling out, desperate, in the darkness. Some bears didn’t hibernate, choosing to stay awake with all the food the dead deer offered.The following season, the population was significantly reduced in northern Southeast Alaska. Some estimated the decline at…

As the new editor in chief of American Rifleman—and former editor in chief of Shooting Illustrated—Ed Friedman has the critical and challenging task of bringing this storied title (it is 103 years old under its current name, though its lineage dates back to 1885) into this digital age. American Rifleman, as well as American Hunter, now print quarterly, but there is an issue published every month—eight issues are now digital only. “There are benefits to this change,” said Friedman. “The biggest one is that now we can deliver content that you can’t have in a paper magazine. You can’t watch…

I am going into my fifth year trying to garden here on my farm.  I have ranching and farming neighbors who have been at it for generations, and their gardens are amazing.  Mine?  Not so much.  There also exists a large Amish and Mennonite presence here in this area.  They have large and productive gardens.  I could just buy from all the neighbors!  But, I wanted to have my own garden, which gives one a sense of security and food system control.  It has been a several year struggle. The 2025 gardening season was a positive change from previous years,…
