Rifle hunting, specifically for whitetails, tends to get side-eyed compared to bowhunting. There’s an obvious level of skill, dedication, and a learning curve when it comes to bowhunting. The level of detail and minutiae required to locate, hunt, and fling an arrow often takes a bit of the surprise out of hunting. This is especially true if you cast a wide net of cameras to target specific deer.Hear me out, I’m not saying it’s not exciting to arrow a big buck (obviously it is) or that you can’t be surprised during bow season. I spend most of my deer season…

American firearm enthusiasts are pretty lucky. We’re a big enough market that, for most international gun companies, it’s worth the effort to sell their products here. And despite the restrictions we have on our freedoms, those manufacturers can offer a wider variety of their firearms in the U.S. than most anywhere else in the world. One notable exception to this reality is the absence of the Heckler & Koch G36 on the U.S. civilian market, but H&K is doing its best to change this—with a rimfire G36 we can own now and the hopes of a centerfire G36 in the…

Here’s cap there is a Cooper’s Hawk flying around the Los Angeles area that might have an untreated alcohol problem. In June of last year, a twenty five year old LA resident named Caesar Gustavo Diaz captured a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk at a park between La and Anaheim.

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Storage A big challenge when living in small homes is storage space. In a climate with dramatic temperature swings like ours, we have, for example, different mittens, boots, parkas and hats for +30, 0, and -30 degrees. All of these are bulky. We also have special clothing for hunting, fishing, and rain, and various accoutrements for outdoor activities. So, we built lots of storage shelves in various outbuildings to hold labeled totes of out-of-season clothes. In our cabin, I store things under, over, behind, and beside furniture. For example, my husband built…
