Thu, 10/01/2015 - 09:05

Michelle Malkin

Los Angeles, CA – -(Ammoland.com)- You’ve heard endlessly about “white privilege” from the professional social justice warrior gripers. But rarely does that crusading crowd — or their spiritual leaders in the White House — acknowledge the brutal impact of wealthy Middle Eastern thug privilege in America.

I’m looking especially at you, Barack, Michelle and Valerie Jarrett (who hosted Black Lives Matter activists at 1600 Pennsylvania last week).

The latest case of WMET privilege involves a well-connected Saudi prince arrested on Wednesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at his $40 million Beverly Hills rental mansion. Witnesses reported...

Raleigh, NC -(AmmoLand.com)- There may be challenges to hunting with a child. However, the rewards far outweigh any extra care and effort it takes to make sure a young hunter has a safe, comfortable hunt.

It sure helps when you are hunting from an Advantage Hunting Blind. There are many reasons why an Advantage Hunting Blind is perfect for a youth, not the least of which is you are more likely to see game up close.

Top 5 Lessons Learned From Elk Hunting Part 2

Wed, 09/30/2015 - 19:19

Tagged out 40 miles from pavement.
3) Wind & Thermals:

Every hunter understands the frustration of a wind hitting the back of your neck. In elk country you have more power to use the wind to your advantage and make it work for you according to the land. Case in point, on both successful hunts of our Father-Son double, the wind was atrocious, plain sucked really. But over the course of the hunt, I learned patience to let the winds adjust and back off a bit to wait. As in the case with our day eight play on a giant 5 point and 15 cows, I learned patience for thermals. The small harem and their bull were bedded on the lower third of a monumentally steep chute just after day break. Thanks to a handsome Mule Deer which had caught our attention at first, I looked down to find the elk unaware of our presence several hundred...

Top 5 Lessons Learned From Elk Hunting Part 1

Wed, 09/30/2015 - 19:17

By Jason Reid

Into The Cannyons
Out of clean clothes, out of energy and out of time, but we had done it. My father and I were on hour 13 of 15 as the 120lb. head and antlers of his 11th hour bull dug the straps of my pack frame into my shell of a body. I want my ol’ man to be able to hunt with me as long as possible, so naturally I volunteered to pack the hams and head of his bull which we scored at 339 P&Y. Ten days of hiking ten or more miles per day and our 2015 Wilderness, DIY, Father-Son, Archery Elk Double was complete. 8:45 Day 1 I found redemption in the elk mountains after a long six year wait and fight to get healthy. My father arrowed his bull at 10:56 Day 10 to cap off a tough yet magical week in the elk wilderness.

The wilderness is a brutal teacher and allows one ample time to reflect on life, love, and the hunt. While we waited for the wrangler to arrive with the mules to start the...

Guys, Take Your Little Girls Hunting

Life with three kids and a new business can be pretty busy. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found yesterday there was nothing on the family calendar and I was going to be able to leave work in time to make it out to my favorite dove hunting spot. Time to take advantage of one of the best parts of living in a place like Lincoln; you’re never more than 15 minutes from a dirt road!

As I worked my way through the day, a thought hit me. Today would be the perfect day to take Reagan, my four year-old daughter, on her first hunt! The weather was right, there wasn’t going to be a big group and she didn’t have any plans.
