Though we talk a lot about safety and emergency preparedness, especially when hunting, grim reminders every year remind us of the cost of not being prepared.

Hunters have a different relationship with the wild than other outdoor enthusiasts, and the only way to understand it is to experience it.

Whenever one goes into the backcountry, no matter how pleasant the weather is when you leave, it always pays to go prepared for the possibilities.

In recent years, there has been talk about leaving traditional lead ammunition behind in favor of nonlead alternatives for hunting. One of those alternatives is copper.

When it comes to big game hunting, there are few hunters who will argue the importance and the value of preseason scouting.
