This hunting season, Wisconsin hunters are encouraged to contribute to their communities by donating deer through the DNR’s Hunt for the Hungry program. Since its inception in 2000, participating hunters have donated over 100,000 deer, generating more than four million pounds of venison for local food pantries. This initiative not only addresses food insecurity but also strengthens community bonds as hunters share their harvest with those in need. Additionally, the Lions Clubs in Kewaunee and Door counties are collecting deer hides to fund youth programs, including the Wisconsin Lions Camp for individuals with disabilities. The hides, sold to manufacturers of…

A court trial is underway following the tragic death of 18-year-old Peter Colwell, who was fatally shot outside the Ship Inn pub in Llanbedrog on February 5, 2017.

The Bureau of Land Management has a new potential leader: former New Mexico congressman, Steve Pearce. Earlier this month, President Trump appointed Pearce to be the agency director, a role in which he will be responsible for managing the BLM’s 245 million surface acres, and 700-million-acre subsurface mineral estate.The selection has raised concern among conservation and hunter groups, given Pearce’s track record on public-land-related decisions. Though a decorated war veteran, a successful oil executive, and a two-term congressman, his voting record and other actions have demonstrated a distaste for public lands and a soft spot for extractive resource development. It’s…

My introduction to shotgun suppressors was more than a decade ago, just after SilencerCo debuted the Salvo 12 by taking a group of gun writers on an Eastern Shore Canada goose hunt to test and promote its new cans. A colleague was on the hunt and told me about the suppressor. Soon after, I had the opportunity to shoot skeet and pattern the Salvo. It mitigated felt recoil, tempered muzzle rise, and the sound reduction was noticeable. But at 12 inches long, which extended a standard 28” barrel to 40”, the Salvo wasn’t ideal if you were hunting from a…

In an industry seemingly swamped by polymer-frame, semi-automatic pistols and modern sporting rifles, the shotgun still fills a niche as a self-defense and tactical firearms.

 Along with the Type 99, the Japanese Type 38 “Arisaka” rifle served as one of the principal bolt-action battle rifles for the Japanese army during World War II. By the time World War II began, the Type 38 was an older rifle action, but it still had a number of innovative features that kept it in frontline service throughout the conflict. Watch our “American Rifleman Television” I Have This Old Gun segment above to hear the Type 38’s story.  ”When I say Type 38, that means the Japanese didn’t name their guns after a person or whatever it might be.…
