Congratulations ? you made it!

Yay ? you made it to another season ? today is the first day of the 2011 trout season.

Congratulations on making it this far ? we all deserve a great big round of applause for fighting through yet another thoroughly miserable winter.

From this moment on instead of being totally [...]

The Sweet Sixteen of Whitetail Brush Rifles, Division II

by Dave Hurteau

With nearly 800 votes cast, I have no choice but to call the winners for the first round of Division 1 matchups, and I have to tell you I’m sorely disappointed. This round should have been rife with upsets. What is this persistent fascination with the utterly outdated Model 94, a barrel-light pipsqueak chambered in cowboy-action rounds unsuited for deer by today’s standards? By the way, the Savage 99, always touted as a great brush gun, is in truth a thick-wristed, long-barreled slow-cycler that’s too clunky to the shoulder for thick-woods hunting, although I’ll admit those are mute points when you can’t find ammo for most of the chamberings. And I suppose you’ll go chalk with the 336 in Division II as well. Am I right? That overweight second cousin to the obsolete 94....

Okay enough of that. Check the date. Seriously, I own one of each. So the perfectly reasonable winners are the Winchester Model 94, Savage 99, Remington Model Seven (in upset fashion), and Marlin Model 308MXLR.

Now to Division II. Here are the rankings:

Excalibur Axiom Crossbow Review

Well, even before the bill to allow hunters to use crossbows for Oklahoma archery deer hunting, I had an idea they would pass it this time around and started researching the best Crossbow I could buy for the money. I had owned a PSE Starfire crossbow (at least I believe that's what it was) back [...]

Finding the Right Size Gun Case

Once you decide on the type of gun case you want, it’s time to figure out what size the case needs to be. Foam and Fit A good fit is important in order to keep your gun from sliding around inside the case. Dense, small-cell foam holds your gun in place more securely than soft, squishy [...]

It's Time to Get out & Go Fishing!




With all of the rain and nasty weather, many people must have a serious case of cabin fever. I know I do! With the past few days more or less free of significant precipitation, the rivers have been dropping like rocks. For this weekend, the McKenzie River for trout should be preforming well, and for steelhead you can check out something like the Wilson River or Upper Nestucca River. The levels are falling fast, and it is time to get out there.

Cabela?s Caption Contest Winners Announced!

by Scott Bestul

Well we had a record number of entries for this, the final caption contest sponsored by the folks at Cabela’s, who are in thick of 50th Anniversary revelry as we speak. There’s nothing quite like the wholly painless pleasure of giving away stuff that isn’t yours, and so we salute the Cabela’s crew for their largesse and wish them a Happy 50th.

There were, as always, some very clever captions submitted, and the elite judging team (me and Dave) argued vigorously—between snorts of laughter—about which lines were the funniest.
