Wildfires have been prevalent in the West this year. Will you be hunting in or near a zone that's endured a wildfire? If so, there are several implications you need to take into consideration. Watch today's video to make sure you're prepared to hunt a burn area.

While spending time at NRA Whittington Center during the past week, I remembered how valuable it can be to practice with a shotgun to prepare for running shots that might be presented during rifle (or slug) season.

I'm with my son, Cole, at one of the best shooting facilities in the country: NRA Whittington Center. This is a perfect opportunity for me to offer you some shooting tips that you can apply during your next trip to the range.

One of the best uses of your time while pre-season scouting is discovering and noting access points. Watch today's video to see what I mean.

When’s the last time you went out with a .22 LR and just had fun plinking? You know the type of firearm fun I’m talking about. Go out the pasture or to the range and shoot at silhouette targets, spinner targets and even tin cans. Some of you plink and others, like me, forget that plinking with a .22 LR or a .17 Hornet is simple, pure fun. You know what else it is? It’s great practice that’s economical, yet hones your shooting skills for offhand encounters that nobody can imagine.

History is about to be made in Wyoming. Or is it? On Aug. 31, 2012, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced its intentions to turn over wolf management to the state of Wyoming. That was historic and everyone should be proud that we’ve successfully brought an animal missing from the American landscape back to population densities where it isn’t out of the ordinary to see wolves in the West. I enjoy seeing wolves, I just don’t want to see too many.

Your feet are part of your most important hunting tools. You need to do everything within your power to choose a hunting boot that fits you and your hunting style, terrain and conditions properly. In today's video I'll offer basic tips that are often overlooked when it comes to choosing a hunting boot.

I’ve never been labeled as a high roller, an aristocrat or a member of the country-club crowd. Living up to my redneck status takes up all of my time, including fixing the leaks on my 1950s-era Farmall tractor, patching fence and spreading manure. It also means I’ve been delegated to a life of camping via improvised means.

Bowhunters, is your bow fast enough? How about quiet enough? If you've bowhunted long enough, you know there's nothing more frustrating than when an animal "jumps the string."

Hunting black bears is exciting from a treestand, but climb down and go face-to-face with big bruins and your blood will boil. That's what I did during my trip to Alberta this spring, and I brought my video camera along. Now you get to enjoy the heart-pounding action while a wary, big boar steps within spitting distance and I come to full draw.
