Montana officials are warning residents and visitors of unusually high bear activity, resulting from two key factors: drought conditions and a failed berry flush. According to a recent Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) press release, bear specialists across the state have been receiving reports of “bears that should be foraging for berries in the mountains…getting into trouble around homes and communities looking for something to eat.”What’s pushing grizzly and black bears away from their typical habitats for this time of the year stems from a below-average snowpack. “We started seeing spring green-up in January and February, and the bears…

Those familiar with the manufacturing history of Taurus know that some of the company’s early pistols were based on Beretta designs. This includes the PT series of tip-up barrel pocket pistols, which were essentially clones of the Beretta 21 Bobcat. Models included the PT22 and PT25, chambered in .22 LR and .25 ACP respectively, with aluminum and eventually polymer frames. Although the affordably priced PT pistols sold fairly well over the years, they were dropped from the Taurus catalog nearly a decade ago.

We have Aaron Warburn, Jeff Sturgis, Adam Keith, and Bill Winky providing their insight and information based off of one question, one theme. And this is something I feel that as hunters, we often like to take in all this information. And when you take in a lot of information and haven’t applied it year after a year, like some of these guys, it’s easy to over complicate things. And so I wanted to reverse…

Earlier this year, we attended Range Ready’s “Plinkapalooza,” a celebration of all things rimfire. There were head-to-head shoot offs, challenges and incredible feats of marksmanship on display, with most firearms chambered in .22 LR, but also some .17 HMR and .22 Mag. represented. Firearms, in semi-automatic pistol, revolver and rifle, were plentiful, as well as various ammunition offerings and sound suppressors. We even saw a few brand-new products unveiled.
