But which one is really the best?Well, a lot of what makes hunting ground “the best” depends on your personal preferences. Do you like big bucks, and you cannot lie? Maybe you just like to hunt around fewer people. Or maybe you like to feel like a kid in a candy shop, surrounded by opportunities for deer of all ages. Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody? Maybe you like to manage a food plot and be able to set up…

I spent quite a bit of my career as mostly an outdoor writer, before filming hunts and recording podcasts took over. That early role taught me how to use weasel words like a champion. Actually, it was reader responses that taught me to cover my ass with generalizations.What happens when you write hunting articles, even benign hunting articles you assume won’t piss people off, is that you end up pissing people off anyway. So, you start to think about how to say something you want to say, but also add in a qualifier or two to head off the rage.For…

I’m thankful that we seldom witness the loss of an American Rifleman field editor, but, unfortunately for the entire shooting community, that occurred recently with the passing of combat handgun authority Wiley Clapp. And while I can personally attest to his kind nature, his skill with a pistol and his commitment to the ideal of the armed citizen, details of his life—which, by all accounts, was well-lived and an honor to our country—can be found in this month’s “In Memoriam.” Our coverage of new products this month includes an impressive example from Walther—a name synonymous with service-grade semi-automatic pistols for…
