All they found were a few pieces of gear, including his boots, but no trace of Aaron Hedges.His remains were eventually found miles from where he was supposed to be,…

Several years ago, I sat down to dinner at a high-end restaurant in Indianapolis while attending the Archery Trade Association Show. Seated next to me was a fellow who has made a name for himself as a hardcore, backcountry western hunter. He has earned his reputation, and then some, so I thought it would be an interesting conversation.It was, until we got on the topic of whitetails. Almost as soon as our chat drifted from the mountains to middle America, he said that he didn’t think we needed anyone filming whitetail hunts because they were all the same, and they…

FBI’s NICS system processed 165,183 names—including those who underwent background checks for other purposes related to firearms, such as approvals for concealed carry permits—on Black Friday alone. The figure pales in comparison to the top…
