A new study quantifies the impact of poaching in the United States— the results show that an eye-popping number of wildlife crimes are not being detected, let alone successfully prosecuted.The research comes from the Boone and Crockett Club, which is both a big game record-keeping group and the oldest wildlife conservation organization in North America. The Boone and Crockett Club invested heavily in its “Poach and Pay” project, which it called “the most comprehensive research project on poaching in this country” in a recent press release.One of the main focuses of the study was developing a statistics-based estimate of the…
I’m always happy to see a premium gunmaker move into a more affordable category. If I can get a rifle from a reputable company for a little less jingle, I’m here for it.That’s the idea behind the new line of Evoke rifles from Christensen Arms. The Utah-based rifle maker has built a reputation for producing high-quality long guns, but most of their current offerings land in the $2,000+ category. With an MSRP of only $898.99, the Evoke is Christensen’s first rifle within reach of the unwashed masses, and it’s been well-reviewed since it hit the market earlier this year.But there…
Early on in my duck hunting journey, I lugged some wood duck decoys and a spinner deep into a chunk of public land in north-central Wisconsin. I’d stumbled across a pond in the parcel while scouting for whitetails, and figured it might pick up some wood duck and teal traffic on the opener.As soon as I tossed the first decoys in, my retriever followed. When I jammed the spinner into the mud and turned it on, her eyes bugged out of her head. It became pretty clear that I hadn’t trained that young Lab around decoys enough, and I was…
Armed Citizen® Today A Michigan county prosecutor declined to press charges in a July defensive shooting, reaffirming the fact that a young, armed woman rightfully protected herself against an assailant.

Despite emergency care provided by EMS personnel, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation revealed that the man allegedly produced a firearm and threatened the 25-year-old woman, who was inside a vehicle at the time…

Traditions Firearms has been in business for more than 40 years, and through much of that time, most of the company’s product line was focused on traditional muzzleloaders, as well as modern, break-action muzzleloaders designed for hunting. In the early 2000s, though, the company began expanding into single-shot centerfire hunting rifles with its Outfitter design, a single-shot rifle chambered for popular hunting cartridges. The design evolved into a G2 model in 2017, followed only a few years later by another improved G3 model in 2020. In 2024, Traditions added even more features into the design to release the Outfitter G3…

Doesn’t everyone want a freeze dryer? It feels like the ultimate answer to long-term food storage, your foods, your way, preserved “forever.” Perfect for a nuclear war, another COVID lockdown, or just peace of mind. My family has a lot of food allergies, making it difficult for long long-term food storage solutions. We have never been able to find freeze-dried foods that were a combination of what we eat, and not processed in facilities that process ingredients we’re allergic to. That’s why the freeze dryer seemed like the perfect solution. And honestly, it still is. But not before I learned…
