Please recommend your favorite deer hunting book(s) along with a one or two line summary along with your likes/dislikes. I'm mostly interested in "how-to" hunting books but hey, I'm up for adventure stories too if they're really good. Tactics and strategy would be great, but I'm also...

I’m planning to purchase a hunting range finder for use on deer in Western Washington. I’m thinking the Leica CRF 900 is the way to go, as it is compact and appears to be in a class of it’s own in terms of clarity and accuracy, the only draw back being that the some report that the display is...

I'm a Seattle, WA resident that has recently gotten into hunting. I've been hunting waterfowl and upland birds for the last 3 years and just recently took an interest in deer hunting. I took my first deer during Michigan's antlerless season last winter (my folks currently live near Metamora...

The 2nd Amendment can be taken to mean that individuals have the right to posses all types of arms. I’m not just talking rifles and shotguns, I’m talking bazookas, howitzers… you name it. After all, the phrase used is “…keep and bear arms….” not “keep and bear certain types of arms”. It...

I recently purchased my first rifle, a Ruger M77R MKII in 6.5 x 55 SE. While researching which gun and caliber to go with, I came across several references to a study allegedly undertaken by Swedish Authorities that purports to show no material difference in effectiveness between the 30.06...

I recently purchased a Ruger M77R MKII chambered for 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser. After much research, I decided this was an excellent all-around, yet relatively light kicking, cartridge for North American game. There seem to be ample options for factory cartridges loaded for larger sized game...
