This is super important. Please go to the Washington Post and vote now. They have chosen a Christmas wreath constructed of shot gun shells and made by the good folks at Shady Grove Hunting Preserve (Remington, VA) as one of the seven finalists for 2012 Holiday Craft of the year. Winner...

I have a .50 caliber Remington 700 ML that I purchased from a buddy some years ago. In the years I've had it, I've taken at least a dozen shots at deer, but have only hit one. It basically seems like every time I go to the range, it needs to be re-sighted. And I can't believe the rifle is...

Lots of people seem to be filming their hunts these days, I figured I'd like to give it a try. I had a bow, and had a camera, but didn't want to pay a small fortune for a bracket to hold the camera. So, I built one myself. Basically, my idea was to find a way to get this playsport camera...

I've never been on a Good Ol Fashion Virginia Deer Dog Hunt, but a former intern of mine has invited me to head down to his farm to go on one with his father and brother. Told me to bring a shotgun, and that we would be using buckshot. So the questions is, as i prepare for this hunt - its...

Got out Monday afternoon in the bitter cold (teens to low 20s) and driving wind (steady 10 mph breeze with gusts up to 40-50 mph) we've been hit with here in the DC area: For the first 90 minutes, I heard nothing – not even squirrels in an area chock full of them. I assume that’s a factor of...

Hey I was hunting today and shot a small spike buck (I actually thought it was a doe). While i was field dressing him, my buddy noticed that his front feet had white socks. (After looking at him more we think he was partially pie bald) Anyway, we thought the feet were cool and cut...

Gonna be headed to SW Oklahoma (Quartz Mountain area) to do a pigeon shoot on September 10th and a dove hunt on the 11th. I'm gonna head out a couple of days early to visit some folks out near Amarillo, but wanted to get a sense of what else there might be to hunt. I'd love to get on hogs...

So yesterday was the first time I ever went turkey hunting. Was down in Raleigh for work, and a work acquaintence invited me to hunt turkey's on some game land he manages. I had my shotgun, but he let me use his turkey gun; showed me how to use the call; took me out on one end of the field...

ANyone know anything about them??? They've called a couple of times and I never took the call. Happened to pick up the phone tonight when they called and the girl on the line said they give 22% of their member fees to take disabled veterans hunting, though she wasn't real clear on what it...

OK Guys, I was out with my dog in the local nature preserve tonight after work (Scotts Run, in McLean, VA overlooking the Potomac). Since it was getting late, we decided to cut back along a pretty primitive deer/hiking trail. About halfway back to the car - with my dog a good 15 yards...

Hey, here's a strange question. This weekend ends late muzzleloader season in Maryland. Was going to try to get out each of the next few days to score one more deer. Gonna hunt a new plot I discovered two weeks ago, which is also chock full of waterfowl. Actually, I'm primarily hunting...

Recently got FIOS which includes 2 full time hunting channels as well as Versus and at least one other part time outdoorsman channel. We've had a medical emergency in the family which has caused me to spend the last 5 days at home (but I'm getting out Hunting tomorrow morning), and as a result...

Took off early from work today to go chase Odocoileus virginianus in the hills of Rapahanock County, Virginia. Was hunting a friends farm, where he placed me next to a brook, in a ground blind tent, with a view across a field and up a hill out to about 350 yards. Not 10 minutes after sitting...

South Dakota Pheasant Trip Recap Spent the last two days hunting up and around the Gann Valley. Fantastic weather - 55 degrees and sunny (perhaps there is such a thing as global warming, if so we were loving it) and our party of 20 (plus 7 dogs) limited out on WILD birds both days by 1:30 (60...

A buddy was given one as a gift. Anyone familiar with them?? Their web page says that its worth $850 - which just blew us away. I use a Buck 110 - the idea of paying that much for a knife makes my head hurt. However, this thing fits the hand perfectly. I just love holding it. Even...

Has anyone ever tried to make Foie Gras from a canda goose? Any hints?? I know they aren't force fed, but the resident geese around here are pretty fat. heading out on Saturday and was thinking about trying to see if its a possibility.

Mods: Not sure if this is the right forum or not. Was gonna post this in either Black powder shooting or hunting, but its more a safety repair issue, please move if needed. Had an incident at the range on Saturday. Took my Remington ML700 with me so a friend who had never fired a smoke pole...

Not to make ya'll jealous or anything, but my job affords me a wonderful luxury of having the following hunting trips set in stone: Labor Day Weekend: Georgia Dove Hunt Mid September: Oklahoma Dove Hunt Late October: NC Black Bear, Boar, and Whitetail hunt Nov 5, 6 & 7: PA Grouse Hunt and...

One of my clients asked me to come on out and visit him in Western Oklahoma today. We were talking about hunting, and he said I am more than welcome to come to his place and hunt antelope, mule deer and huge white tail. Anyone have good sources of info on the hunting in far western...

It just dawned on me (and I'm somewhat new to the serious bird dog training/owning set) that while I can generally hunt my dog on a game preserve here in Virginia (or for that matter in Maryland or in Georgia where my other home is) only from September through April, I can technically train my...
