Mike Rowe Shares his Wise Opinion on Voting
Mike Rowe was asked by a fan to help out with this year's election by encouraging his following to go out and vote. Mike's response to this request was nothing short of perfect. What he offered instead was wisdom and a completely different outlook on this issue. Check out the exchange below.
Hey Mike, I have nothing but respect for you. Your no-nonsense outlook and incredible eloquence have really had a profound impact in my life. Can you please encourage your huge following to go out and vote this election? I would never impose on you by asking you to advocate one politician...
Video: Boy Shoots Very First Deer and His Reaction is Priceless
Do you remember shooting your very first deer? This family captured a little boy’s reaction after shooting his, and it’s worth checking out.
Shooting your very first deer is exciting; it’s a moment that you will look back on forever. One thing is certain, this little guy handled shooting his first deer like a seasoned hunter. He followed the blood trail, and even checked to make sure it was dead, all on his own. He even says "cheese" to ensure he's smiling for the video!
This is certainly a proud moment for his father as well, and it's a tough call on who's more excited. Seeing how...
Throwback Thursday: My Chance Encounter with Roosevelt
Many years ago, I was traveling with a small group of friends to a remote caribou camp in Northwest Territories. Also waiting for the skies to clear before boarding a float plane was a short and stocky stranger who had a friendly smile and an East Coast accent. After exchanging the usual pleasantries, but knowing only his first name – Tweed – I simply had to ask: “Have you ever been told you look a lot like Theodore Roosevelt?”
He laughed, nodded and then told me the rest of the story.
Tweed Roosevelt, shown in the photo above, was born in 1942, and he’s the great-grandson...
Video: Full Auto Franken-AK/Luger Put to the Test
This Luger pistol was given a few slight modifications and transformed into a full auto Franken-Luger AK-47 hybrid, and it's a thing of beauty!
The Luger pistol has a storied and iconic design, and so does the AK-47. These gunsmiths chopped up an AK and added the front end and the butt stock to a Luger. As you’ll see in the video below, the AK bits are really just for show. Instead of actually using the AK barrel, the gun actually fires through...
License Plate Readers Now Being Used at Gun Shows
Federal agents are now using license plate readers to scan the plates of gun-show customers. This is raising a lot of questions from gun-rights activists about invasion of privacy.
According to a recent FOX News article, in 2010, agents with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency made a plan to use license plate readers – devices that record license plate numbers of cars – at gun shows in southern California, which happens to be very close to the...
Missouri Hunter Shoots 36-Point Buck of a Lifetime
Darrell Collison, of Charity, Missouri, may have already shot the biggest buck in the state this year.
Just 3 days into the bow-hunting season, Darrell has bagged himself a buck that is making waves in the hunting world. The buck was green scored at 153 typical and non-typical 220 4/8 gross and 208 1/8 net with 29 points, however, the Dallas County game warden later came up with 36 points.
The pictures of this buck will send chills down your spine, don't believe us? Check them out:
Like we needed more motivation to go hunting anyway, but this guy makes us
...Whitetail Wednesday: Don’t Clean the Table
There is good chance of rain soon, so it will be time to do one of my favorite activities. I like to broadcast Broadside fall food plot blend into existing soybean plots. In a couple of the smaller food plots here at The Proving Grounds near Branson, Missouri, the deer have browsed the soybeans so aggressively that 30-50 percent of the soil is exposed to the sun. Deer are still using these food plots, so I don’t want to destroy the existing soybeans.
These bean fields are...
Video: Chad Mendes Alaskan Moose Hunt, Part 2
Recently, we saw Chad Mendes go on an Alaska moose hunt, and he just released part 2 of his self-filmed hunting trip. This time, Chad hits the water, catches some pike and then has a little encounter with a big grizzly.
This trip is the definition of living the dream for an outdoorsman . . . hunting, fishing and eating damn good wild game meals in the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. This is how it’s done in Alaska. You definitely don’t go there for the city life experience, you go to...
Video: This Motorcycle with a Minigun Mixes Firepower with Horsepower
What do you get when you mix firepower with a little horsepower? Correction . . . a lot of horsepower.
If you like riding fast bikes and shooting guns, we have exactly what you’re looking for. These guys strapped a mini-gun on the front of their bike, and the video below documents the results.
Obviously, the mini-gun packs a heavy punch; the recoil coming off of it makes this heavy bike look weightless and nearly lifts the front tire off the ground.

Video: Wolf Takes Down Young 9-Point Buck
If you have any questions about the gray wolf population in Wisconsin, this is evidence that it’s doing pretty well.
Wolves have been on the Federal Endangered Species List since 2014, making hunting and trapping of the animal illegal. Since then, some concerns have been raised of the growing number of gray wolves in the Great Lakes region.
This video shows footage of a big wolf killing a young, and seemingly healthy, whitetail buck. This is Mother Nature taking its course, but is there cause for concern over the current wolf population?...
Whitetail Wednesday: Deer Hunting On Smaller Acreages
Land ownership patterns throughout many areas of the whitetail’s range are composed of smaller acreages. These small properties can be effectively and strategically managed and improved for deer hunting.
The first step is to identify if food, water, cover or security is the most limiting factor in the neighborhood. I do this by combining information gathered from using Google Earth and driving around the neighborhood.
If one of these critical habitat elements is limited in availability, I begin by establishing that resource on the property I have permission to hunt. I also attempt to...
Walmart Mistakenly Places Personal Lubricant ‘Gun Oil’ Product on Gun Counter
This Walmart shopper came across something particularly odd at the gun counter.
The video starts off with a guy shopping around at Walmart, and amazingly, there’s not a Walmart employee anywhere in sight in this video. (Please excuse the strong use of sarcasm.)
He’s browsing near the gun counter when he picks up a product that strikes him as odd. It’s called Gun Oil, but it claims to be water based. Wouldn't that rust my gun?
Turns out, some Walmart employees evidently don't know much about guns, or some of their other products for that matter. This particular gun oil doesn't...
Video: Tree Hugger 360 is a Treestand Game Changer
Darrin Griesemer, the inventor of the Tree Hugger 360, has developed a product that could change how ladder treestands are made in the future.
Ever watch a deer walk right toward you, but then it makes a last-second turn and goes behind you, never presenting a shot? The Tree Hugger 360 Deer Stand solves that problem by allowing a hunter to quickly and quietly move 360 degrees around a tree to shoot in any direction required. Moveable chairs make this treestand ideal for those hunting with a child, or if you bring...
Minnesota Mall Attacker Taken Out by Good Guy With a Gun
The man who stopped the knife yielding lunatic at the Crossroads Center mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday has been identified as Jason Falconer, an NRA-certified firearms instructor and avid 3-gun competitor. You're welcome, gun control advocates.
Jason Falconer is the former police chief of Albany Police Department and works part-time as an officer for the Avon Police Department, but Falconer’s shooting background goes much deeper than that. To call Jason, who was off-duty at the time, just a "police officer who can shoot well," would be an understatement of massive proportions....
Missouri Passes Bill Allowing Concealed Carry Without Permit
It’s a great day for all Missourians after Missouri joined 10 other states with “constitutional carry,” which allows people to conceal carry anywhere they can open carry a weapon. Effective January 1, the legislation also created a “stand your ground” right, meaning people no longer have a duty to retreat from danger any place they are legally entitled to be.
“This is a great day for freedom in Missouri. The legislature stood strong for the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens by overriding Gov. Nixon’s misguided veto,” said Chris W. Cox, Executive Director of...
For the Angler, Orange is the New Black
Across much of the walleye world, there’s a saying going around among those diehard anglers who always seem to be on fish: “Orange is the new black.”
Of course, the phrase, “the new black” comes from its use during the 1980s, when black became a go-to color for fashion designers looking for a versatile staple that could work with anything. So what does that have to do with walleyes?
Here’s the deal: In a similar way, the color orange – and its various hues – are becoming fashionable in my tackle boxes for walleyes, and a wide variety of other predator species, too.
For...
Video: Chad Mendes Takes You Along on His Alaska Moose Hunt
MMA Fighter Chad Mendes just got back from his Alaska moose hunt and was nice enough to document the whole thing and take us along with him.
Last we heard from Chad, we were doing an OutdoorHub interview with him, and he mentioned he was going on this moose hunt. It’s a little under 20 minutes of video that Chad filmed and edited himself, which is pretty impressive in itself, but wait until you see the beautiful country and all that goes into a moose hunt like this one.
You can watch...
Modern Muzzleloaders: Deadly on Deer
For many of us who grew up watching shows like Davy Crockett or Jeremiah Johnson, the idea of using a muzzleloader for deer hunting is a nod to the heritage of hunting and the history of how America came to be. Who hasn’t wanted to throw on a set of buckskins and wool and set out on a cross-country adventure in hopes of filling the meat cache with venison for the winter?
Modern muzzleloaders share little in common with the Hawken and Kentucky long rifles of the past, beyond the basic physics of how they are loaded – from the muzzle. Sure, you can still buy many of those traditional...
Interview: Team Benelli Captain Dianna Liedorff-Muller
Editor’s note: This exclusive OutdoorHub interview is one of a many focusing on the amazing females who are challenging society’s norms and breaking down gender barriers in the process. Dianna Liedorff-Muller is one of three diehard shooters featured in CarbonTV’s “Women Who Shoot” online special (below).
This original “Women Who“ series explores a woman’s take on typically male-dominated pursuits. Whether it’s shooting, hunting or farming, these women make no apology for who they are and aim to inspire the same passion...
