Bill's dedication to serving NAHC members held up right until the end of his nearly 3-decade career. Before he left, Bill gave me two signed copies of books he authored in his time here: "Extreme Waterfowl Hunting" and "Modern Bird Hunting." His intention was to have me give them away to two lucky NAHC members. 

I was crazy busy at this year's SHOT Show, running around with hardly enough time to take a lunch. I spent a lot of time finding cool new guns and gear to update everyone about. I didn’t realize it until I got back to home base, but I posted right around 30 live updates to the NAHC Facebook page, and almost twice as many on Twitter. 

We have all been there: On the 20-minute hike to our favorite stand we break a sweat. Everything is fine until a 1/2-hour later when we start to cool off and our teeth begin chattering, making it almost impossible to sit still.

Recently, I had the chance to drop in on one of Remington's Versa Max On Tour Events. It was hosted by the Lower Wetumpka Shotgun Sports Club, located only a few minutes outside of Montgomery, Alabama.

I just finished my Minnesota firearms whitetail hunt and harvested a 3-point buck. I know some people will think I’m crazy for killing a young deer, but where I come from filling the freezer is the top priority.

The NAHC editorial crew was invited there for a special tour. We saw lots of cool things, such as how shotgun shells and bullets are made. I learned a ton about ammunition, and have a new-found respect for each and every cartridge I fire.

At the end of August 2011 I had the opportunity to participate in my first pronghorn hunt. Living in Minnesota and doing most of my hunting here, I had never experienced the thrill of hunting in wide-open areas like northwest New Mexico has to offer. 

NAHC Web Editor Josh Dahlke and I had the opportunity to tour the new Gander Mountain Academy in Lakeville, Minnesota. I, for one, was amazed! As soon as I stepped foot into the facility I could tell it was first-class, and all the stops were taken out when designing and decorating. The technology t...

Are you looking to take a crack at hunting a new game animal this year, or did your trusty old (insert item here) wear out? If you’re like a lot of other hunters these days, money is tight … and it’s not always an option to purchase heaps of new gear. Here are a few tips to help you save a little ca...

If you live in my house, you know that my wife does most of the cooking for the simple fact that I’m not a very good cook, and Amber amazes me every time she makes anything (even sandwiches). I guess if we could all live off hot dogs, frozen pizza and microwave popcorn, I could be the cook. For some...
