One of the most fundamental parts of becoming an accurate archer is to understand draw weight. That's what I'll talk about in today's Deadly Passion Tip.

We all recognize that our varmint and predator rifles fire many more rounds than our big game rifles. And because the game we hunt with those rifles is so much smaller, they must deliver a higher level of accuracy as well. More use and a high degree of accuracy both dictate we use thorough cleaning methods on these guns. And while most shooters do a good job of cleaning a rifle's bore, there's one part of a rifle's interior that almost no one cleans, mainly because it's impossible to reach it without the right tools.

There are certain turkey calling and hunting tips that show up every season—blog after blog, article after article, video after video. There's a reason these "stale" tips resurface. It's because hunters are a stubborn lot, and oftentimes proven advice needs to be pounded into our heads before we accept it. Other times, we just need to see something work for ourselves.

It's turkey and shed antler hunting season. While gobblers and piles of bone might have your full attention, spring is also a great time to scout for big game hunting areas that you can revisit this fall. Watch today's video for some spring scouting tips.

Country star Luke Bryan makes millions while I make . . . well . . . not even close! I’ve never been named ACM (Academy of Country Music) Entertainer of the Year, and I don’t hang out with Jason Aldean and Willie Robertson.

Whether you’re having issues with a lack of turkeys lusting after your decoy or simply organizing for an upcoming hunt, you might want to consider bringing your decoy to life.

We’ve all seen the “Obama Named Firearms Salesman of the Year” headlines, posters and parodies during the past few years at gun shops and on Second Amendment blogs, but when you really get down to serious number crunching, the figures are, well ... quite staggering.

If you were hanging around these parts last year, you saw that I highlighted weekly episodes of Shane Simpson's "Turkey Hunt Public Land." Shane's back at it again this year, chasing spurs and beards across the country with a video camera in hand, ready to provide everyone with weekly highlights from the field. One difference: His operation changed names to "CallingAllTurkeys.com."

Yesterday I bought a gun via Facebook. That might seem a bit weird; Facebook is obviously not considered a place to purchase a firearm. However, if you have a lot of friends on Facebook, it's likely they share the same interests as you. For example, on my Facebook News Feed I generally don't see posts where folks are complaining about hunters, and I never see posts about how we need more gun laws—laws that might restrict your ability to purchase a firearm on the Internet.

I've been feverishly hunting, filming and producing new episodes of Winchester's Deadly Passion for the past year. I spent 174 amazing days in the field last season. Travel has been nonstop and the workload seems to get heavier by the day ... but I wouldn't trade it for the world!
