When Smith & Wesson closed its Springfield, Mass., based academy in 2017, it appeared that a chapter in the company’s history was coming to a close. For nearly 50 years, the Academy had trained law enforcement and civilians at the location, but in the waning years, civilian training had been phased out and the facility was used mainly for law enforcement training and the occasional IDPA competition. I had the good fortune to attend a Smith & Wesson product launch that included some instruction at the old Academy shortly before it closed, and recently found myself in Maryville, Tenn., to…

00:00:02 Speaker 1: Corruption, a prison not fit for human habitation, an assassination attempt American hunters who thought they were safe abroad and that their government would have their back. Blood Trails takes you where most true crime podcasts won’t go into the woods, onto the water, and deep into the cases that happen where the rest of the world isn’t watching. In this summer mini series, we’re going farther afield. He rips the boarding pass out of my hand. He looks at it, and he says, I just want you to know you’re not going to make that fly.…

“The science is more than clear: grizzly bears have recovered and far exceeded every federal recovery benchmark. Today, Interior is returning conservation leadership to the Western states instead of Washington bureaucrats,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said.There have been multiple attempts to delist grizz from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), but both ultimately failed in court. This proposal marks a different approach. Grizzly bears would remain listed on the ESA, but under section 4(d), the federal government will concede grizzly management to the states.“The grizzly bear recovery story is one of America’s great conservation successes,” Montana Governor Greg Gianforte…

The dog days of summer have arrived, and we’re all dreaming about cool fall mornings filled with rutting bucks and bugling bulls. Instead of daydreaming, get out there and scratch the itch by setting trail cams, prepping stands, and summer scouting. That way, you’re fully prepared and out of excuses by the time opening day arrives.In the meantime, to help alleviate our collective hunger for hunting season, we want to see your best trail cam photos. It could be the biggest buck you’ve captured, a late-night raccoon rave, or a black bear scratching that itch—any shot you’d be proud to…

On June 24, an Oregon-based environmental group filed a lawsuit that could have broader ramifications for public land conservation across the country. Cascadia Wildlands, which bills itself as “defending Cascadia’s wild ecosystems in the forest, in the courts, and in the streets,” is challenging a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) timber sale in Western Oregon. But what’s particularly noteworthy is how the organization is doing so.Specifically, Cascadia is arguing that the Aloha Trout Forest Management Project violated the Administrative Procedure Act because it was never reviewed under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). This rationale is part of a broader debate…

Earlier this year, we attended Range Ready’s “Plinkapalooza,” a celebration of all things rimfire. There were “friendly” competitions, devious challenges and straight-up feats of marksmanship on display, with most firearms chambered in .22 LR, but also some .17 HMR and .22 Mag. represented. Firearms, both handgun and rifle, as well as various ammunition offerings, sound suppressors and even a few super-secret new products were unveiled. Smith & Wesson brought a number of firearms to the event, two of which we discussed with Dave O’Connor, Smith & Wesson’s media partnership relations manager: the FPC in .22 LR and the new M&P22X…
