Logan Beach of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and his wife, Kaylin, had a problem. It was the afternoon of September 6, the second day of Kentucky’s archery season. The couple was hunting the same ridge from different trees 16 yards apart, Kaylin with her recurve and Logan with a Prime Divide 31 compound bow. They were close enough to see each other, but not close enough to talk. They were hunting specific deer when a massive nomadic buck they weren’t expecting walked nine yards between their stands.Unfortunately, they hadn’t discussed who got the shot on this one. The buck wasn’t a…

If you’re a fan of Anthony Bourdain at all, you likely remember the iconic moment he sat down with Barack Obama at comically small stools to clink a couple of beers and have a meal. The steaming bowl of broth, meat, and noodles they tuck into is bún chả, a local street food. The dish originated in Hanoi, where the now-famous meeting occurred.Classic Vietnamese preparation uses pork, but these flavorful grilled patties are well suited for a variety of game meats, from ground goose to bear. Just be sure to use a grind ratio with a fat content of at…

The Mingo Ultimate Firewood Marker enables someone who is processing firewood to buck logs into rounds of remarkably uniform length. It does this by placing a spot of inverting marking spray at precise intervals onto a log that is being prepared for bucking. This precision is especially helpful for those who heat with smaller wood stoves. The fireboxes of smaller stoves have less margin for error than the fireboxes of larger stoves. A piece of cordwood even one inch too long can make it impossible to shut the door on the firebox of a smaller stove. Variations of the Marker…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: What’s long been considered the very first gunfight of the old western frontier took place three months after Appomattox, that is, three months after the end of the Civil War, on July 21, 1865. It happened in the scraggly village of Springfield, Missouri, down toward the state’s southwest corner, just before 6 o’clock at the beginning of a warm Friday evening. Around the town square, a crowd had formed. As everyone watched, two men stepped out into the open Both were gamblers in town. They had argued over a pocket watch one of them seized from the…

In the world of precision rifle shooting and long-range hunting, Finnish-manufacturer Tikka has made quite the splash over the past decade with its T3x line of bolt-action rifles. Last year, the company released the T3x Ace, a chassis rifle set up in “Game” (hunting) and “Target” (PRS) versions, the Target version of which was American Rifleman’s 2026 Golden Bullseye winner for Rifle of the Year. Lefties of the world unite and rejoice, as the company has announced left-hand versions of its award-winning models. The left-handed Ace models follow the righty versions. At their core is the T3x action, an update…

This week the Jordan Buck was officially supplanted from atop the Boone and Crockett record books. The Aiuppa Buck, a 207 ⅞-inch Illinois typical whitetail with foot-long eye guards, takes its place by 1 6/8 inch. But it didn’t dethrone the Jordan Buck overnight. In fact, it might have gone unnoticed if it weren’t for an electrician who spotted the buck passing slowly into obscurity 32 years after Sam Aiuppa killed it.After a day of pheasant hunting in LaSalle County, Illinois, in 1991, Sam Aiuppa decided to spend the remainder of the evening in a deer stand, he told Rack…

We are currently living in a unique moment in history—one that hasn’t been experienced before and can never be experienced again. This year marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. Consequently, one wonders if, a quarter of a millennium ago, our Founding Fathers envisioned that the guns used by the patriots to win our independence would come to epitomize the very concept of freedom itself. Indeed, as they noted in the Second Amendment to the Constitution 15 years later, individual firearm ownership is an inalienable right that helped solidify the nation that became America.…

I’m a sucker for dumplings, so when I saw the viral “blanket” dumpling trend, I couldn’t help but try it with wild game. Inspired by Japanese gyoza, these blanket dumplings offer an easier way to get your fix without the tedious work of folding each one by hand. It’s essentially just a meatball draped with pre-made wonton wrappers. The bottoms are fried until golden and crispy, then a splash of water is added to the pan to steam and soften the tops.Although gyoza is traditionally made with pork, these can be made with virtually any ground wild game, including venison,…
