In the many years I have spent behind the counter or working trade shows, I have encountered many hunters who want to shoot deer with a .338 and go get their elk with a .243. Why?? I have no idea! But I have experimented both with light hyper velocity bullets...
Now that we have discussed some locations to search out these silver prizes, lets look at flies. Pinks are typically fairly easy to catch. First, they usually roam in packs and second, they seem to eagerly attack any small buggy looking fly…on one condition. The fly must be pink! Right now...
It is a fact that petroleum products are harmful to the environment. They disrupt the cycle of coral reefs, suffocate fish by clogging their gills—resulting in their death—and impede the photosynthesis process of marine plants leading to their end. Large oil spills and toxic waste indirectly affect both humans and...
The Anti-fouling bottom paint you use on the hull of your boat in most cases is very harmful to the marine environment. Antifouling is conducted when biofouling (impairment or degradation due to the growth or activity of living organisms) occurs on a boats hull or mechanical equipment. Biocides are used...
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations engaged over 2500 hunters in a telephone survey early in 2013.

Honestly, many hunters do not completely understand bullet design and their intended performance.Several years ago I shared a hunting camp with a hunter who was very...
Marine life has a difficult time surviving the elements when the tide is out, during extreme temperature changes, in sun light, during changes in salinity levels and during oxygenation and these are all problems they face daily. There is a delicate balance required for survival and human interference can be...
Jack O’Connor was North America’s original gun writer, and I believe much of his work is still very relevant today. His unique adventures and knowledge of firearms and ammunition gave him the label of an expert in most circles and his writing was instrumental in changing the way hunters looked...
You’ve spent months practicing your shooting skills and ranging targets. Shooting hundreds of arrows at targets in tight clusters make you smile with confidence. You’ve honed your skills in preparation of the hunting season and have your equipment working great. You head out hunting and are presented with a shot...
In a perfect world we’d be out shooting every week to hone our skills as archers. If you’re an avid waterfowl hunter and only shoot your shotgun when a flock of ducks or geese is descending on your decoys you’re not likely to be on your game each and every...
