    shot density between 2 shotguns and brand shotshells

    I got the duck hunting bug and compared a Remington 870 with Carlson Mid range choke and a Masai mara with factory modified choke.

    Are there any free sites that give this information? I am a nonresident but have 23 points and would like to see if I can get area 61. I was there years ago for deer and always wanted to go back for elk.

    Well, it's been almost 48 hours since my vaccine. I have noticed that my flatus has turned to ozone, my urine smells like cow estrus, and my body is generating a neutralizing bioelectric field. Now I can hunt downwind, upwind, sidewind! It don't matter folks! I am going to be selling all my...

    musical score to Meateater episode Walking the Clouds season 8?

    One of my favorites episodes is Steve Rinella and his brother Danny hunting Dall sheep in Alaska. They don't get a sheep but the scenery and introspection really appeal to me. I thought the musical score fit the tone perfectly. I emailed meateater and was informed the music selection should...
