With the Wyoming turkey season a successful wrap I am looking forward to my next wingshooting endeavor of the year and doves are on deck! I saw this new shotshell from Federal and am intrigued with it pushing a good payload at more than reasonable velocities. Looking forward to getting some and...

Here in northern Wyoming we had an October snowstorm that was more than enough to flutter the heartstrings of the most pessimistic and hardened waterfowler. We had about 8” of snowfall in a 10-hour period and with all the talk of La Nina leading up to the event, I was more than convinced this...

Who's getting cranked up for some fast flying action here in a few weeks? I have a feed lot all staked out, looking forward to hammering them with a good buddy on the opener!

So while I was walking to my truck this morning to head to work I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was a rabbit but my curiosity got the better of me. I did an about face and peered around the edge of my tool shed to see a baby turkey staring back at me...

Anyone trying out anything new this year? Calls, chokes, guns, shells, decoys, etc.? My new toy is a Weatherby Element shotgun. I have owned and shot a Remington 870 Express since I was 16 and this is the first auto and 26" barrel gun I have owned. It points exactly where I am looking, extremely...

My 7 month old pup and I daydreaming about duck hunting on a scorching hot summer day. At this point she has read my mind and her face reflects our shared disappointment and she has yet to retrieve her first duck!
