The California Fish and Game Commission issued an emergency action that is causing controversy in the Golden State angling community. On June 25, the commission essentially banned shore- and pier-based shark fishing throughout a large swath of its coast to “prevent white shark take and reduce potential interactions between hooked sharks and swimmers.”According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW), this year’s El Niño will create warmer-than-usual ocean conditions in the state, shifting the range of juvenile great white sharks north from Mexico into California’s nearshore areas.In California, and elsewhere in the U.S., targeting great white sharks by…

As we approach the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, folks who enjoy living in the United States are celebrating all things American. Few pieces of apparel are as eye-catching and representative of this country’s traditions as engraved belt buckles. Awarded to rodeo champions and worn by those with a deep respect for Western culture, these wearable pieces of art make an unmistakable statement of style. Perhaps the buckles that show support for the 2nd Amendment more boldly than any other are the Custom Carry Belt Buckles, or buckle holsters, from North American Arms (NAA). Patented…

00:00:00 Speaker 1: I do enjoy suffering weirdly, especially if it’s with someone else. So on a race day, for sure, there’s something about that shared suffering, and obviously we share that during hunting season, race day is super fun. It’s fun to see your progress progress, so you know, you’re doing some of the races you’ve done in the past and if you can improve cycling, specifically mountain bike, and half the time you’re suffering, but half the time you just really having a lot of fun. You know, you suffered going up, you get to bomb the stuff…

Rainy days are perfect for shop videos, and this one gave me the chance to spend some time with another product from my friends at Simply Rugged Holsters: the Sundles Ready Rig. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the rig was designed with input from Tim Sundles, founder of Buffalo Bore Ammunition. Tim spends time hunting dangerous game and wanted a shoulder rig that keeps a powerful handgun accessible without getting in the way. Now, I don’t find myself facing charging rhinoceroses every day, but I do spend plenty of time on my tractor. Over the years, I’ve learned…

A dull knife is like a rusty car or a worn out pair of sneakers. It’s almost useless and can be quite dangerous. Your knife will get dull eventually. Rather than replace it, it’s far cheaper to sharpen it. The question is how.You can sharpen a knife on a rock. I once watched two skinners in Africa do this before turning a large bull Kudu into an abridged version of its former self. But if you’re like me, you probably don’t have a hand that deft, or the years of experience sharpening a piece of steel. Instead of rocks you…
