Big rubs and community scrapes get all the attention when it comes to deer sign, and I get it. They’re cool, and in some way, they’re a good indicator that you’re on the right scouting path.

The organizers of the January 6 Awards Gala are facing scrutiny for boasting that Donald Trump’s song “Justice For All,” performed with the J6 Prison Choir, has gone platinum—a claim that is untrue. The song, which features the choir singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” while Trump recites the Pledge of Allegiance, does not appear on the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certification list, and officials confirm it hasn’t even reached gold status, which requires 500,000 unit sales. This misleading assertion comes as the gala plans to auction a commemorative plaque to honor the song’s alleged success, aimed at raising funds…

Cartridge development of the mid-20th century stressed speed above all else. Developed in large part by Roy Weatherby and P.O. Ackley, these magnum marvels screamed across the landscape at previously unheard of velocities.Many of these cartridges are still popular and useful today, but the last twenty-five years have seen a shift in emphasis. Rather than chase velocity, modern cartridges use heavy, high-ballistic coefficient bullets stabilized by fast-twist barrels. These cartridges may not boast magnum muzzle velocities, but they maintain those velocities better at long distance and are less impacted by wind. Because they use modern chamber designs along with modern…
