The right footwear lays the foundation (literally!) for a good time outdoors. There’s nothing we love more than time on the trail.

Fat, corn-fed Canada geese are among the most delicious game birds you can bring home. Wiki Commons/Guido GerdingSome people eat birds because they like to hunt them, others hunt birds because they like to eat them. I’d be in the latter category.

These machines are one of the best ways to preserve your wild game harvests. In addition to protecting from freezer burn, they can also help marinate and season choice cuts for later meals.

Just as the 10mm Auto’s little bother—the 40 S&W (short & weak)—is losing its appeal, the interest in the 10mm is on the rise.
