Anybody who’s ever dreamed of an Alaska moose hunt knows those kinds of trips don’t come cheap. Some hunters spend years saving up enough money for a bucket list hunt in the Last Frontier. But prosecutors say nearly 40 hunters who thought they were booking the adventure of a lifetime lost almost $60,000 to an illegal guiding scheme that left some of them stranded in rural Alaska.Michael Mikhael Beans, 37, began advertising trophy hunts to the Lower Yukon River area on Facebook in 2021, according to court documents. Beans has never held the required state licenses to act as a…

State and local wildlife officers do their best to monitor and enforce game and fish laws, but inadequate resources and manpower complicate those efforts. They often rely on anonymous tips from locals, which is what led to the arrest of Woodrow Snyder, 28, a southern Indiana man, who has been charged with more than 100 wildlife-related crimes.On the morning of December 18, 2025, Clark County Sheriff’s deputies and conservation officers set a roadblock after a complaint of shots fired. Snyder was stopped at the roadblock in a pickup, where officers discovered multiple dead deer. Apparently, Snyder decided to ditch the…

Armed Citizen® Today Around 6 a.m. on June 15, police responded to a home in Cordova, Tenn., where they found a man suffering from a non-fatal gunshot wound. An investigation determined that the man had been shot in self-defense during a domestic incident, though reports are vague as to what led to the altercation. (actionnews5.com; Memphis, Tenn.; 6/15/26) From the Armed Citizen® Archives – March 7, 1987 At a Cleveland, Ohio, doughnut shop, a knife-wielding robber ordered two female clerks to lie on the floor. When he ordered Bonnie Kerkhoff to hand over her purse, she complied but produced a…

As firearm suppressors get more popular, one area that is often overlooked is shotgun suppressors. Whether using them for busting clays or hunting, shotguns are high-volume firearms, meaning that they are a perfect platform for all of the benefits of using a suppressor, including reductions in both sound and recoil. Yankee Hill Machine (YHM) introduced its VICTRA-12, a 12-ga. modular shotgun suppressor, last year. This year, the company is bringing out a 20-ga. version with the VICTRA-20. The VICTRA-20 brings a 20-ga. option to the shotgun suppressor market for hunting and sport. Like the 12-ga. version, the VICTRA-20 is a…

As time goes on, there’s a slow realization that lengthy rifles carry several handicaps. With that, they are gradually shrinking, and, in some scenarios, we’re even finding large-format pistols to be more effective. Short-barreled rifles (SBRs) aren’t new. Prior to the National Firearms Act of 1934, dwarf barrels were commonplace, before being replaced with 16-inch versions, which had become the new legal standard. That law made civilian ownership of SBRs quite rare in the ensuing decades, but it is now at its highest level since before the NFA was passed, particularly with the removal of the $200 tax stamp this…

00:00:10 Speaker 1: From Meat Eaters World News headquarters in Bozeman, Montana. This is Cow’s Week in Review with Ryan cow Calian. Here’s cal. We all know that deer tend to do silly things when they’re in front of a car’s headlights. Well, a white tail deer in New Jersey reacted especially poorly to oncoming traffic on the evening of Tuesday, June nine, when it leapt from a Garden State Parkway overpass and landed right smack on top of a twenty twenty five Tucson traveling on the road below. The diving deer dealt some serious damage to the vehicle and…

00:00:08 Speaker 1: This is the me Eater podcast coming at you shirtless, severely, bug bitten, and in my case, underwear. Listening toast, you can’t predict that anything brought to you by first Light. When I’m hunting, I need gear that won’t quit.

The NRA Bylaws provide for the election of one-third of the members of the Board of Directors each year. Those terms of office will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Members in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 24, 2027. Also, any members filling vacancies on the Board that occurred after the last regular election must stand for election in 2027 in the same manner as those whose terms normally expire. Additionally, one Director is elected for a one-year term on the occasion of each Annual Meeting of Members, by a plurality of the votes cast by individual members present in…

For me, drill practice is about isolating a few critical performance elements and pushing them under honest pres- sure. The goal is not to chase perfect runs, but to build a repeatable process that holds up when time, distance and consequences start to stack. Progress comes from consistency, not from the occasional lucky score. The Pistol Standard Xray 2 is a clean, demanding test of pistol fundamentals at distance, combined with a reload and a position change. Shot at 25 yards, it forces you to respect sight picture, trigger control and recoil management while staying aware of the clock. The…
