But this time with national implications. This latest attempt to remove protections surrounding the BWCA is unprecedented in its method, and if successful, could be replicated on public lands all across the country. Whether you live in Minnesota, Montana, or Maine, HJR 140 deserves your attention.” – Mark Kenyon, Director of ConservationWe have hunted, fished and paddled Minnesota’s Boundary…

When I first started tracking whitetail bucks in the big woods, things always seemed to go the same way. I’d find a buck track, and then I’d meticulously follow it through the forest all day long without ever seeing the buck that made it.It frustrated me because I thought I was doing everything right. I’d stay on the trail for miles, picking my way along like a ninja as I crept through the woods, trying to move slowly and stay silent so I could sneak up on the buck. But it never worked. Frustrated with my lack of results, I…
Last week, Minnesota Congressman Pete Stauber introduced a resolution that would undo a three-year-old mining moratorium on over 225,000 acres in the Rainy River watershed—upstream of the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). The move not only threatens one of America’s most iconic wild places but has broader ramifications for the future of public land management elsewhere in the country.The Boundary Waters Canoe Area is a large wilderness comprised of over 1,000 lakes in Northern Minnesota. According to Lukas Leaf, executive director for Sportsmen for the Boundary Waters, it’s widely regarded as a world-class destination for its walleye, lake trout,…

My story starts in a small gun shop in Brewster, Ohio, run by a Korean War veteran out of his garage. He had some nice new guns and sporting goods and a small rack of used guns. One day, I went in and noticed two military arms on the used rack: an M1 carbine and an Enfield .303 British rifle. Ray, the owner, said he was selling them for a friend. He wanted $20 for the carbine and $10 for the Enfield. I was fascinated with the M1—the way the action worked and the look of it. That night while…
Since 1971, CVA has been known for its muzzleloading firearms, transitioning from traditional-style guns to the most modern of frontloaders. In 2010, the company introduced its first centerfire rifle, with the single-shot Scout, followed in 2019 by the bolt-action Cascade. This year, CVA is expanding its cartridge-firing lineup with the introduction of the CVA Cascade Rimfire. The Cascade Rimfire takes the styling and controls of the Cascade centerfire rifle and places it into a scaled-down rimfire package. The rimfire Cascade takes many of its styling cues from its centerfire big brother, including the position of the safety and bolt release,…
