I dig Jason Aldean's tunes. He's one of the artists responsible for me opening my arms to country music as of late. Recently I discovered that he's also a hunter, so I figured it would be cool to talk to the chart-topping musician about his career and his love for hunting.

I swore up and down that I’d never do it. But then I did it. During a recent trip to Oklahoma where I was pursuing whitetails with a muzzleloader, I whipped out my smartphone and answered a text.

Oliso, a California-based company that produces all sorts of cool gadgetry, is jumping head-first into the outdoor market with their Outdoor Series Oliso PRO VS97A Vacuum Sealer.

Last week’s passage of the National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act by the U.S. House of Representatives was roundly cheered by most of the organizations you would expect, like the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. But a national group you’ve probably never heard of that represents some 150,000 independent contrators counts itself as one of the country’s biggest supporters of extending the reciprocity rights of those with valid concealed-carry handgun permits to all 49 states that currently have a permit system.

Facebook is the ultimate resource for tracking the whitetail rut in real time.

With holiday parties and family get-togethers fast approaching, here’s a great factoid to recite to that non-hunting office mate or anti-hunting auntie who dares to question the great things hunters do in the U.S.—in addition to their obvious conservation and wildlife management contributions, of course.

The whitetail is a coveted creature looked upon with unequalled allure. Perhaps it's the mystique that the whitetail embodies. Maybe it's the sheer size of the animal that demands such respect among its many small game counterparts. Regardless, taking the life of a white-tailed deer is a blessing at any stage in the life of a hunter. But a hunter's first deer—to put it simply—is a big deal.

If you think Americans are more pro-firearms than 20 years ago, you’re right. And new data from one of America’s leading polling companies points to anemic support for any new gun control regulations.
