April 2025 Author: Austin Atkinson After using the 2025 Polaris Ranger XD 1500 NorthStar Edition on my late season hunts this past year, I can confidently say this machine is a game-changer for serious outdoorsmen. I put it through its paces in rough backcountry terrain, cold morning starts, and heavy hauling, and it lived up to the hype. PERFORMANCE & POWER Right out of the gate, the 1500cc ProStar engine showed its muscle. With 110 horsepower and 105 lb.-ft.

March 2025 Story by Kyle HansenState: Utah Species: Sheep - Desert Twenty-eight years of applying for Deseret bighorn sheep came down to this one moment in time. In seemingly slow motion, I felt the recoil of the rifle and watched the ram leap forward along the cliff ledge. For the last three years, I had researched draw odds and watched the applicant numbers with equal points decrease until I was sure I was in the top 10%. Sure enough, when the results came out, I was successful.

Stability to Make the Shot

Oct 27, 2024 | huntinfool.com | Austin Atkinson

November 2024 Author: Austin Atkinson I often reflect on the first long-range shooting course I attended in Wyoming as part of the Long-Range University program by Gunwerks.

The road to my successful hunt was long and tiring. It started several months ago. Since late May, I’d scouted a particular area that looked promising.
