    YouTube Bans Provocative Hunting and Fishing Ads

    It goes without saying that there’s some real filth on the Internet these days. So much so that I hardly think a video of a man field dressing a deer or filleting a fish would ruffle feathers. Apparently, though, the powers that be at YouTube beg to differ. As part of a promotional campaign...

    Photo courtesy of Guido da Rozze/Flickr Last week CNN published an article that claims Earth is on the cusp of another mass extinction, similar to the one scientists say wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. However, according to the article, unlike the Jurassic die-off and the four...

    Will Choke Tubes Affect POI?

    It’s never you. It’s always the gun. If people didn’t believe that, they would never buy new guns, and I would be out of work. Seriously, though, choke tubes are one factor that can affect your gun’s POI. You may have a tube that wasn’t bored straight, your barrel may not shoot straight, or...

    Traditional Bowhunting: Why Vanes Trump Feather Fletching and How to Make Them Work

    The very mention of any fletching besides natural feathers on the arrows used by recurve and longbow archers makes many in the "traditional" community see red and spew profanity. To these purists, any synthetic material is a sacrilege and an offense to the "traditionalness" of their sport. As...

    Upland Birds: Pay Attention to Your Dog for Better Wingshooting Opportunities

    Thinking like your dog can result in better shooting and a better hunt from us. In South Dakota this past season, a less-experienced companion was so nervous in the field (or perhaps so dazzled by my own well-behaved pup’s performance) that one ringneck had almost five minutes to fly wild or...

    Winchester Deer Season XP Review

    The cartridges have been in production for years and only now are available for the coming deer season. While there is a lot in the R&D, a box of 20 sells at a refreshing MSRP of $22.

    Gunfight Friday: Model 700 Mountain Rifle vs. Sako Coltsman

    Now that stable, durable synthetic stocks are the norm on hunting rifles, it’s easy to forget that generations of hunters carried walnut-stocked rifles into the field and did not feel one bit sorry for themselves. Many still do. Today we have a pair of classically styled rifles with wooden...

    On my way home from work, and we noticed a car down a tall steep ditch just outside of Stanley. It was smoking so we quick ditched the pickup and grabbed the fire extinguisher. There was a couple other guys down there. We assumed 1 of them was the driver. We were wrong. We luckily looked in...

    Man Builds Homemade Laser Shotgun

    Thus far, the 21st century has been a disappointment. Okay, so we all carry personal computers around in our pockets, which is cool. But what about jet packs? How about Jetsons-style flying cars? And, based on what they told us back in the ’60s, I am pretty sure that we were supposed to be...

    Hunt Fish Journal - Podcast

    Does anyone listen to their podcast? They are Ohio based but they cover a lot of topics that are interesting for ND hunters/anglers. They get a lot of big time names on that show. I think doing an ND podcast would be a blast.
