To raise some cash for a major purchase here at the Rawles Ranch, I have put almost our entire Elk Creek Company inventory on sale. This is your chance to do some early Christmas or Hanukkah gift shopping, at great prices! No FFL paperwork is required. Our pre-1899 cartridge guns and blackpowder guns can be mailed right to your door, in most states. We also have a nice selection of knives and bayonets. I also just cataloged a lot of scarce FN FAL and HK91 magazines. We have a merchant account, so we accept payments by credit card. — On…

I am the oldest of three sons, along with brothers Gary and Richard. Being the oldest, I was the first that dad taught how to handle and shoot a gun. A few years later, Gary and Richard also received the same training. We were taught on a Savage Arms Corp. Stevens Model 15 single-shot bolt-action that chambered the .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle cartridges. It was manufactured as an inexpensive rifle with an initial cost of less than $4. We lived in Sacramento, Calif., and about 30 miles north, in Loomis, was our grandparents’ ranch, which we…
Late last month, I pulled up to a field site at first light to start a long day of turkey habitat surveys. My work as a wildlife research technician takes me to both public and private land, but this site happened to be on one of my favorite wildlife areas: a lakeside section with forested draws and fields of native tallgrass.I slowed my truck to a crawl so I could scan the fields for a reddish-brown back or a tail flicking. I usually spot a doe or two out feeding when I get there early–but that time, I saw tines.…
When Southwick Associates and DJ Case & Associates conducted a survey for Outdoor Stewards of Conservation (OSC) in 2024, it focused primarily on shooting participation by underrepresented groups. The results, released earlier this year, included the fact that 73 million people who identify in three minority groups are interested in giving target shooting a try for the first time in their lives. The survey also dives into photos that are most effective at attracting newcomers to the sport. The results are something to keep in mind when sharing any you’ve taken, whether in person or on social media. It may…

Like most whitetail hunters, I learned to hunt with company. For me, it was my dad, his brothers, and a few of their buddies. Swapping stories around a campfire, ribbing each other about misses, backslapping over notched tags, and arguing about where the deer are moving have always been part of deer-hunting culture, but if you always have someone in the next stand over, you’re missing out on a different side of the game.Hunting alone changes the way you move and make decisions. There’s no one to bounce ideas off. You have to look harder for sign. And when you…
