Keep Warm During Cold Hunts

By Glen Wunderlich

You can blame it all on me.  Just point your index finger in my direction when they ask, “Did you order this?”  And, when the first one of the season wonders if it’s cold enough for you, just mumble what you will.  This arctic blast is entirely my fault.

Hunker down, put another log on the fire and add an extra blanket.  It’s now unofficially late deer season and cold comes with the territory.  Bring on the white stuff!  In my seventh decade as a Michigander, I’ve learned to love what others dread.

No, I’m not a masochist.  However, I’ve learned that when the temperature drops, more fuel is required.  And, when it comes to whitetail deer, fuel is food.  Find food.  Find deer.  And, sit.

Here are a few tips to make the most of coping with Mother Nature’s mean streak. Read more

Nosler® Unveils World’s Most Powerful 6.5mm Commercial Cartridge

Bend, OR — Like many shooting enthusiasts, the Nosler family has always dreamed of introducing a new rifle cartridge to the industry; that time is finally here with the arrival of the 26 Nosler®.
The goal of the new 26 Nosler® cartridge was to introduce something to the shooting sports industry that took full advantage of new technology available to shooters including the advance of optics, reticle systems and of course high Ballistic Coefficient (B.C.) bullets such as the AccuBond® Long Range™ line. The old boundaries are about to be pushed to new limits.
The 26 Nosler® cartridge was designed to take advantage of the inherently accurate and high B.C. 6.5mm (.264) caliber bullets, and is capable of shooting the Nosler® 129 grain, AccuBond® Long Range™ bullet at a blazing 3400 fps out of the muzzle.  Zeroed at 350 yards, the 26 Nosler® has a Point Blank Range of 0-415 yards.  Loaded with the 129gr ABLR, the 26 Nosler® retains as much velocity at 400 yards as the 260 Remington® produces at the muzzle.

Coalition Asks Attorney General for Action to End Impasse Over “Sporting Purposes”

A coalition of organizations led by NSSF and representing millions of sportsmen and women has written U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to request that the Justice Department, through ATF, finalize and begin to implement the necessary policy to apply the “sporting purposes” exemption to the definition of armor-piercing ammunition set forth in the Gun Control Act of 1968.
With the recent signing into law by California Gov. Jerry Brown of the first state ban on traditional lead ammunition for hunting, the ability of manufacturers to bring non-lead ammunition to market is increasingly crucial to the continued vitality of hunting and recreational shooting. Read more
