This surprising stability has led to mixed responses from both gun advocates and opponents, with some asserting that the lack of significant change proves the original ban was ineffective. Law enforcement officials and gun…

We’ve spent a lot of time talking about strength, intensity, and the mental grind that hunting demands.But the reality is, most hunts don’t end with a pack-out.
