If you hunt waterfowl, odds are you'll need a dog that can behave in a boat. Waiting until the morning of the hunt to introduce them to watercraft is a recipe for disaster, not to mention dangerous.

It’s the time of year when deer become increasingly active—and unpredictable. [ Read Full Post ]
Just got this report from a correspondent who was traveling for work in Chavez’s Venezuela. This is what a country without gun rights is like: [ Read Full Post ]
Pretty much the perfect morning for an Opening Day of deer season here in western New York, though a little snow wouldn't have hurt my feelings any—cloudy with temps in the mid-40s. Shooting thus far has been sporadic. As for myself and my hunting party of six? I saw 4 does and a spindly 4-pointer and wound up being high man for the morning. It's noon on Saturday as I write this. Back to the stand. [ Read Full Post ]
Dudley Brown, executive director of the National Association for Gun Rights, relays this sad but true tale of "more overreaction typical of the anti-gun culture permeating government institutions." [ Read Full Post ]
With last week’s approval by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, The Lone Star State will soon join 31 others as part of the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact (IWVC), a cooperative agreement honoring hunting and fishing license suspensions enacted by all member states. [ Read Full Post ]
This should have gone under the heading “Hell Freezes Over,” but the global warming crowd would have complained. Yes, this is a gun test in the New York Times.

You’ve put some venison in the freezer, and need something to do. Spring turkey seasons are a winter away. Check your state’s website because there might be an opportunity available right now.

Somehow, 'putting another code in the books' is a bad thing when it reaffirms Second Amendment rights in national parks. [ Read Full Post ]
Jim Kouri in a Nov. 11 column in Mens News Daily examines how anti-Second Amendment Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's comments following the murder of 13 people at Fort Hood by an American-born Muslim, serving as U.S. Army psychiatrist, has inspired a great deal of angst from wide range of sources -- and spurred calls for her to step down.

As hunters in several states prepare for their firearms season openers, reports of some absolute stud bucks are streaming into the Big Buck Zone from around the country. Just take a look at this Indiana beauty sent to us by Tim Lord.
"It was on opening day, this past Saturday, Nov. 14th in Huntington County in Northern Indiana," says Tim. "I was hunting our 250-acre family farm where we grow corn, beans and premium grade alfalfa for a local dairy farm. I was in a Pop-up ground blind on a ridge overlooking our big creek bottom at 2 in the afternoon when I saw this big 11 point running and chasing a hot doe. They ran right up to me and we’re going to race on by. It was bright, sunny and warm, around 60 degrees. [ Read Full Post ]
A newly formed congressional caucus comprised of those who generally share the views and agenda held by the country’s most outspoken and politically active anti-hunting organization has yet to make any serious legislative inroads on Capitol Hill, but deserves the continued watchful eye of sportsmen.

Anti-Second Amendment zealots wasted little time in exploiting the massacre of 13 people at Fort Hood by a gun-wielding loon. But there was also an array of sober, sane responses to the shooting as well -- responses that offered solutions, not ideologic diatribes, responses that say freedom, not repression, is the always the best answer.

It’s 1:24 and I am writing this from camp. I shot a buck this morning in the pouring rain and made a less than perfect shot and we decided to back out of the area and go back to get him this afternoon. The waiting is driving me insane. I keep re-creating the moment in my head….

Having just returned from hunting the Ft. Benton area of Montana with Pheasants Forever, I have to tell you it's in stark contrast to South Dakota. Especially a South Dakota ranch managed for pheasants and holding a preserve license. But this is true wild-bird hunting in thick, heavy cover for a variety of skittish avian prey and when you put one in the vest, you, and especially the dog, have earned it.

Even though Halloween is behind us, we still live have to keep an eye out for dead things coming back to life. Attorney General, Eric Holder, is still pushing for a renewal of the Clinton gun ban, which expired in 2004.
Last February, he made strong statements about fulfilling the promises made by President Obama on the campaign trail to make the ban permanent, but the economic and political climate the administration encountered made that legislation a non-starter. [ Read Full Post ]
Hunting takes patience, mental focus and drive.
Small wonder then that the soldiers who excel at one of the toughest jobs in the military—the guys who sweep for roadside bombs and other IEDs—also happen to be hunters.
From a CBS report that features Specialist Christopher Parsons, a member of the Michigan National Guard who is tasked with “Route Clearance Patrol”: [ Read Full Post ]
Does denying guns to 'prohibited persons' ensure public safety?
Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea has been writing a series of blogs about the slippery slope in allowing some people to have Constitutional rights, but not others. He asks some intriguing questions that require more than a knee-jerk, emotional response. [ Read Full Post ]
We here at the Big Buck Zone promised to keep you apprised and updated on some of the monster bucks shot across the country this fall. Here's the latest on the big Wisconsin deer we told you about last week directly from the good folks at Boone and Crockett Trophy Watch.....

When a town puts a mutt on equal footing with Lewis and Clark, you know as a dog person you're in the right place. When I reached Ft. Benton, Mont., to hunt with Pheasants Forever, sitting next to the parking lot of the Grand Union Hotel was a statue of a dog. The history behind that statue is a story of enduring loyalty that any dog owner can understand.

The 'No Guns' sign insult – What if the signs read 'No Jews? 'No Dogs or Sailors on the Grass'? 'Whites Only'?
Jeff Knox of the FirearmsCoalition.org notes in a Nov. 1 blog posted on AmmoLand.com that "no gun" signs are "just another form of discrimination but against gun owners of all races." [ Read Full Post ]
Fifty-three hours. That’s how long I sat on a plastic deck chair inside a 4-by-4-foot ground blind, looking over the same 40 acres of Saskatchewan woods before I finally killed a buck on Friday.
This hunt for a big Canadian buck was the toughest hunting challenge of my life, and I hardly moved a muscle. Mentally straining, psychologically crushing, I sat in the same seat—actually two, since I moved blinds after the first two days in the field—for 12 hours a day straining to see a bruiser buck step out of the poplar forest.
