Maggie Bassett and Shonna Dehl were camping on Sunday, July 5, in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming when a black bear attacked their tent.”It wanted in the tents,” Dehl told KTVQ News. “That’s all it wanted. It didn’t matter what we did.”Bassett and Dehl yelled, screamed, and even fired gunshots at the overly curious bruin. But apparently that wasn’t enough to scare it off. “It didn’t even blink,” Bassett said. “It just kind of circled around and came back at me from a different angle.”After firing a few more gunshots, the bear eventually ran off, allowing the two women…
00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Col’s Week in Review with Ryan col Klaian. Here’s CAP. A lot of time when we cover grizzly bear deterrence on the show, we get sucked in by the high tech stuff, especially in Japan Ai facial recognition, bear spray squirting drones, solar powered robot, wolves with glowing red eyes, that kind of thing. So it’s refreshing when people come up with their own low tech DIY solutions. At the top of the list is eighty year old Kazuko Takahashi, a woman living in Yawata Prefecture,…
Recently, I tried to describe the Mondragón rifle to a friend, using just a few words: “A turn-of-the-20th-century semi-auto rifle, the first self-loading rifle accepted by any army, designed in Mexico, built in Switzerland and finally destined for use aboard German aircraft in World War I.” Clearly, I am not a man of few words. But in my defense, the Mondragón is a unique rifle worth talking about. Mexican artillery officer Gen. Manuel Mondragón began his firearm design career with a straight-pull, bolt-action rifle design named the Model 1893 chambered in 6.5×48 mm, a cartridge developed by Mondragón himself. Mondragón received patents…
As he notes in this episode of The Armed Citizen Podcast, Topher Field, an Australian political commentator and documentary filmmaker, spoke with us from a hotel in California. He was then at the beginning of a month-long trip across America. He had come to America on its 250th birthday to speak and meet people and to bring the message that Australia’s gun confiscation should not be used as a template for the land of the brave and the home of the free. Mostly though, in this interview he spoke of Australia and its crime problems and how, despite the narratives…
The 171-year history of Colt’s Manufacturing Company has been a rocky one, with swings from the market dominance of products, like the 1911 or AR-15, to times of instability and financial uncertainty. As of late, the company appears to be on good footing, following its acquisition by the global firearms giant Česká Zbrojovka (CZ) Group. This has resulted in the reintroduction of the company’s iconic products, like the company’s “Snake Gun” line of revolvers, and the introduction of new product lines, such as the recent established Colt Electro Optics. Colt Optics was launched as to offer the option of a…

After hauling my two daughters through spider webs, oppressive heat, and a few meltdowns to drop a new trail camera at one of my hunting spots, I started reconsidering whether or not my summer scouting efforts were worth it.While summer scouting might benefit you come October, do you really need to burn the boot leather during beach season to have success this fall? After all, plenty of hunters fill their tags on quick out-of-state hunts with no prior experience in a place. Here are a few reasons to consider whether or not you need to spend a ton of time…
Smith & Wesson made an exciting announcement for revolver collectors earlier this year. Working in conjunction with Lipsey’s, the company updated and released two L-Frame models from the lightweight Night Guard series which was discontinued back in 2012. One was the highly anticipated Model 386, a 7-shot .357 Mag. sporting a 3-inch barrel. The other was a bit of a letdown for some shooting sports enthusiasts. Of all the other possible Night Guard configurations to choose from, the company went with the Model 396, which is a five-shot chambered in .44 Special. Folks who are less familiar with this particular…
