This is my wild game take on the classic “marry me” chicken. And while you might get a proposal out of this dish, it will definitely convince a reluctant significant other to tag along on a turkey hunt!Wild turkey brings a deeper, more savory flavor to this Tuscan-inspired sauce. I particularly like browning the meat and aromatics in a little turkey fat or chicken schmaltz (though butter or oil will do just fine). A squeeze of lemon and the sun-dried tomatoes cut through the richness of the cream and make everything pop.Serve it with crusty bread to soak up the…

As suppressors go from specialty items to standard firearm accessories, traditional firearms manufacturers have ventured into the realm of building and selling their own suppressors. Known for its lineup of innovative handguns, Canik is joining those ranks with the introduction of its VOID family of suppressors. Canik’s new suppressor line has been developed through a partnership with established suppressor manufacturer Otter Creek Labs. VOID suppressors have interchangeable end caps and a HUB-compatible mounting interface. VOID suppressors are HUB-compatible with 1.375×24 TPI threads and have interchangeable threaded front caps that allow the end-user to choose between low back pressure or maximum…

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים יְהִי מְאֹרֹת בִּרְקִיעַ הַשָּׁמַיִם לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הַיּוֹם וּבֵין הַלָּיְלָה וְהָיוּ לְאֹתֹת וּלְמוֹעֲדִים וּלְיָמִים וְשָׁנִים׃ אֹתֹת sign, signal a distinguishing mark banner remembrance miraculous sign omen warning token, ensign, standard, miracle, proof.

On April 1, 1515, the Portuguese fleet under Afonso de Albuquerque recaptured the Persian fortress of Hormuz and renamed it the Fort of Our Lady of the Conception. — April 1, 1863: US Congress passed the first wartime conscription law, calling for the registration of all 20 to 45-year-old males. — And on April 1, 1873, the British White Star steamship SS Atlantic sank off Nova Scotia, Canada, killing at least 535 people.  The same shipping company later owned the ill-fated RMS Titanic and RMS Britannic. — Today’s feature article is by SurvivalBlog Editor “Avalanche Lily”, the wife of JWR.…

Price is often considered to be a solid indicator of a firearm’s potential for good performance. If that were a hard-and-fast rule, my highly customized competition and carry model 1911s would shoot circles around my well-worn Springfield XD-S in .45 ACP, even with its aftermarket trigger. But, in reality, the XD-S offsets its lower capacity and slower split times by holding its own in accuracy and reliability at any distance. Don’t ask me how or why, it just does—and at a fraction of the cost. The last few years of my Army career were spent neck-deep in the rapid prototyping,…

Some members of the U.S. Army will begin receiving a new XM8 carbine for testing in October 2026, a shorter, lighter version of the M7 rifle introduced under the branch’s Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program. The carbine version was developed by SIG Sauer as part of its joint Product Improvement Effort with the U.S. Military. The gun received the official XM8 designation and stock number from the U.S. Army in March, according to Soldier Systems. The XM8 trims one full pound off the M7’s 8.3-pound heft. Its shorter barrel contributes to the weight savings, along with modifications to the…

Two things taught me to be a much better turkey caller. The first was when I started to semi-regularly kill bucks by snort-wheezing at them. Now I know that might seem disconnected from turkey hunting, but hear me out. Most hunters look at the snort-wheeze call as a dominant buck vocalization that is a straight-up challenge to fight.Because of this, hunters will spot a buck, snort-wheeze at it, and then usually get a negative or neutral response. They’ll reason that the buck isn’t a fighter, or isn’t in a mood to scrap, and give up on that call. I’m not…

Few things are more deflating than missing a turkey. If you think successful hunts are unforgettable, misses will etch themselves into the part of your brain that handles long-term memory. Months later, when you think you’ve gotten over it, you’ll wake up from that nightmare, drenched in sweat and panting as you think of all the things you could have done differently. If only you hadn’t moved or sat next to that sapling. Maybe you should have yelped to stop that bird before you shot. Meanwhile, phantom gobbles ring in your head like a chorus of mocking children. Even worse,…
