This formidable shop sits in verdant farm country, but also within two hours of both New York City and Philadelphia; it’s become the premier four-wheel drive outfitter on the East Coast, and arguably in the nation.

Two-bedroom fifth-wheels offer room for the whole familyDerek and Laura Czaplicki’s first camper was a 27-foot bumper-pull, but over the years, they became more and more interested in fifth-wheels. In November 2020, they decided to upgrade. “We went to a lot of RV shows, trying to get an idea of what’s out there, and made a list of must-haves,” Derek says. After a lot of research, they settled on a 43-foot Jayco North Point 377RLBH.

Before I learned to call a turkey, actually shooting a bird always felt out of reach. I could never work a box call just right, my slate calls sounded like a pitchfork on a chalkboard, and mouth calling seemed utterly impossible. I settled for a push-button call and ended my first spring season with two unpunched tags in my pocket. Calling is one of the most intimidating things for a new turkey hunter to wrap their head around. But who says you need to know how to call in a gobbler to kill it?

Late winter means the days are short and depressing, and just when I’ve missed enough ducks and geese to actually start hitting some, it seems like things are about to close.

Shooting birds is a perishable skill. It’s not like riding a bike, and I’m reminded of that opening day of duck season every year. So what is a bird hunter to do during the months between one hunting season and the next. Sure, you can shoot clays, but clays don’t juke and dive and speed up when you least expect it.

They get knocked around in the uplands, splattered with mud in the marsh, and shot and shot and shot at the range.

Among the many modern deer hunter’s conundrums is choosing the best deer hunting rifle.
