    Meat damage on bulls shot with rifles

    I used Barnes bullets when they first came out.... they just punched a hole for me and did not expand! Perhaps they improved but I dont use them anymore. I prefer a bullet to expand and do a lot of damage. Just aim broadside... dont hit the opposite front shoulder and you will be fine. Even...

    Archery Side Arm Choice

    I know this is about handguns... but I am surprised pepper spray is not mentioned. They are lightweight and nice to have along as well.

    Processing a Deer In Hot Weather, By Ben Baker

    Good article explaining different options. I almost always bone my deer out. I am usually too far away to drag it. Interesting choice of knives! I like to sharpen knives and use a “real” knife! Ha Ha. It really isn’t that difficult to keep a knife sharp.
