Moultrie’s new Edge 4 Solar looks to mitigate the problem all trail cameras share—battery life. Between the new, larger solar panel and the included rechargeable battery, you can reduce your battery budget and trips to change them out. Moultrie’s newest version of the Edge doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Instead, it makes subtle, thoughtful improvements to an already feature-rich trail camera.I was able to get my hands on the Edge 4 Solar before it dropped. Here are my initial thoughts.Specs and Features Network: Connects to any of the Big 4 Memory: Built-in Power: Includes rechargeable battery Max Photo Resolution: 40 MP…

On Monday, July 13, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders with outsized impacts to federally-owned public lands in Utah. He shrank the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by about 90% each.The move is yet another action in a year-long back-and-forth over the national monuments, both of which were established under the Antiquities Act of 1906, which was enacted “to provide general legal protection of cultural and natural resources of historic or scientific interest on federal lands.”Grand Staircase-Escalante was established by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and later expanded to encompass 1.9 million acres. Bears Ears…

When the brave men of Lexington, Mass., poured onto the village green on the morning of the 19th of April, 1775, there were a couple of anomalies between them and the popular history of the era, as well as the bulk of American soldiery for the next 200-plus years. First, they were not “Minutemen,” which were essentially quick-reaction forces formed from the local militia, but rather the regular “trained band” of armed townsfolk, a concept that had a rich tradition in British and British-American history. Second, they were heavily outnumbered by the Royal regulars and served mostly as a speed…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: The return of gray wolves, Mexican wolves, and red wolves to the West is an unfolding history yet to play out, but it’s a watershed in the Western story. I’m dan Flores, and this is the American West. The wolf returns to the West. Stepping ashore in the early sixteen hundreds, we old worlders were bitter to discover wolves were abundant in America. That’s truly curious if you know human history, since thousands of generations of us had watched and learned from wolves for half a million years or more. Domesticated wolves were our first companion animals,…

Modern manufacturing techniques have resulted in great value for the money when it comes to hunting rifles. Billet-machined aluminum and high-tech synthetic materials render rifles that are not only affordable, but accurate and good-looking, to boot. Yet hunting remains a traditional activity, and some of us just like the feel of a nice wood stock. For those purists among us, Sako has introduced its new-for-2026 Grizzly. The Sako 90 Grizzly offers a more traditional option in Sako’s premier bolt-action line. The Grizzly is based around the company’s 90-series bolt action, introduced in 2023, which is renowned for its safety, accuracy…

I purchased my Wilson Combat EDC X9 after thoroughly testing it almost 10 years ago. Through much of the last decade, it’s been my predominant EDC gun. Even though Wilson Combat has upgraded the platform over the years, I’ve liked my original X9 better than all its descendants—until now. With its new eXperior Elite pistol, the company has taken nearly a decade of refinement to the X9 platform, including what the company developed for the Division 77 P1 pistol, and has introduced a pistol that I just realized I like even more. The eXperior Elite looks very much like a…

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…
