For most firearms enthusiasts, the lever-action rifle conjures one of two images: hard-riding cowboys on a dusty range or Woolrich-clad deer hunters plying the Northwoods. The lever gun, with its 162-year history, is an American icon that is enjoying something of a resurgence in recent years. Why? Well, why not? True gun enthusiasts appreciate classic design and engineering as much as they do the latest and greatest things. With most folks running bolt-action rifles and AR-15s, picking up an old-school lever action sparks a thrill and can reignite a passion that, for many, has ebbed with the tides of time. What has sparked the lever-action resurgence is largely due to the concept of teaching an old dog new tricks. Most modern shooters, for example, can’t conceive of using a firearm…

➔ EAR PROTECTION: Hunters should always wear ear protection when shooting. On the range, consider ear plugs or muffs. While hunting, wear something that protects your hearing while permitting safer sounds, such as Tetra Hearing or Walker’s Game Ear. ➔ EYE PROTECTION: Something that commonly goes overlooked is eye protection, but it’s also important. Hunters should protect their eyes from potential harm. Bushnell, Orvis and others provide great offerings. Select a frame style that fits well and a lens coloring that makes seeing easier (by enhancing contrast) in the outdoors under specific situations. For example, amber, brown, copper and yellow lenses are great for overcast days. ➔ GLOVES: A good pair of gloves are helpful for those planning to shoot, especially practicing on the range. Shooting can wear on the…

Hunting whitetails is always a challenge — no matter the location. But hunting them on public land often adds increased obstacles that deer hunters on private land rarely need to worry about. More deer hunters, small-game and bird hunters, hikers, dog-walkers and others come and go as they please on many public properties, as is their right to. All of this human activity adds up to put a lot of pressure on deer, and can diminish the odds of successfully filling a tag. Luckily, it’s not all doom and gloom, because there is plenty of good hunting to be found on public lands. An important aspect of finding success on public lands is keeping a low profile and not drawing unwanted attention to yourself, not only from deer, but from…

Sooner or later, you’re going to be helping someone move. Ask me how I know. For deer hunting, the…

To say crossbows have improved by leaps and bounds is a science-based understatement. A couple of decades ago, a crossbow shooting 250 feet per second was thought to be an unfair advantage. Today, crossbows produce more speed and energy, with less noise and more consistency. The modern crossbow has kept up with society. As people get busier, with more demands on their time, crossbows have become easier and more intuitive to shoot, use, and maintain. There has never been a better time to look at entering the horizontal bow market or upgrading to take advantage of new technologies and accessories. TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT Research and development is an ongoing process for any crossbow manufacturer. Today’s engineering will produce new bows five or more years from now.…
