00:00:04 Speaker 1: Welcome to the first ever bonus drop of Backwoods University. As many of you know, Backwoods University is traditionally a bi weekly show. However, last week we put out an episode titled Hogy Boats, and in that show, we dove into the growing concern and controversy surrounding the commercial min haden fishing industry. And one of the things that I specifically notated in that show was that I wanted to be able to present both sides, but unfortunately I cannot find anyone from the commercial fishing side to speak with me. However, that has since changed. I…
As Michigan’s firearms deer season approaches, hunters must navigate the regulations surrounding deer baiting, which vary significantly between the Lower and Upper Peninsulas. While baiting is banned in the Lower Peninsula—except for certain qualifying disabled hunters—those in the Upper Peninsula can freely use bait, with limits on quantity and dispersal area imposed to minimize health risks to deer populations. The differing rules stem from concerns over Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), more prevalent in the Lower Peninsula, increasing the risks associated with deer congregating around bait. Understanding these regulations is crucial for the hundreds of thousands of hunters expected to participate…

Armed Citizen® Today A big-game hunter used his rifle to defend against a charging grizzly bear in an Idaho forest, in what was determined to be a clear act of self-defense. On the morning of October 18, the hunter was hiking through thick timber in the North Antelope flats of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in southeast Idaho. A grizzly bear came charging out of the brush nearby, and the hunter used his hunting rifle to shoot the bear, killing it before it made contact with him. Immediately after the encounter, the hunter called the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office, which notified…
The family of Carlos Dewayne Hill, who was tragically shot in Marshall, Texas, is calling on the community to unite to combat gun violence.

Within the pantheon of U.S. Marine Corps small arms, two rifles are indelibly linked with the Corps’ combat experience in the 20th century, and both were designed by Marines: the Model 1941 Johnson Rifle and the M16. Of the two guns, one is a footnote in military small arms history while the other remains one of the most widely used military rifles of all time. The M1941 Johnson Rifle ended up in limited Marine Corps service through a roundabout procurement process. In the late 1930s, Melvin Johnson, a Boston attorney and Marine Corps Reserve captain, developed a recoil-operated mechanism he…
Semi-automatic shotguns have come a long way during the past two decades, especially in their self-defense and tactical forms. But despite the fact that many good self-loading shotguns are available on the market, there are still those who prefer the simplicity, affordability and unquestionable reliability of the classic, manually operated pump-action shotgun. While Benelli’s M4 is considered to be one of the best semi-automatic defensive shotguns on the market, the company also makes its Nova pump shotguns in tactical form. Earlier this year, it released the “third generation” Nova, a shotgun that showcases not only Benelli’s commitment to the “price-conscious,…
