Let me bring you up to date – Horizon Firearms is an awesome custom rifle company. Recently, they began building a custom rifle for us! Many of you have been inquiring about the progress so we have Derrick Ratliff, President and Founder of Horizon Firearms, with us this week to give you a teaser of how it’s coming along! Lucky for y’all, they even sent photos.
Optics are a power piece in any hunter’s gear bag. Whether it’s your binoculars or riflescope, having glass that performs can be the difference in filling your tag or walking away empty handed. This week, we’re introducing you to a relatively new company and one that operates a little differently than the big brands you are familiar with. TRACT Optics takes their product directly to the consumer instead of going through supply chains like the big box stores you are used to purchasing your gear from.
Some of the game and fish laws on the books are pretty bizarre. For example, did you know that in Oklahoma it’s unlawful to promote, engage in or be employed at a bear wrestling event? Holy smokes, what did I miss here? I’ve seen and even tried my hand at steer wrestling, however, going toe to toe with a bruin? I politely decline. The crazy part is that the mere existence of this law means that at some point or another, somebody thought it’d be a good idea to wrestle a bear. We may be the greatest country in the world, but we still have some first-class dingbats that make laws like this necessary.
Happy Birthday America. For 242 years old, you’re lookin’ good! The 4th of July is hands down, my favorite holiday. There is just something about hot summer nights, outdoor cooking, a cooler full of cold drinks, fireworks and a good dose of patriotism that can’t be beat. I honestly, and truly, believe that America is the greatest country in the world, so here are five things I love about the U.S.A.
There are some 6 million vehicular accidents in the U.S. each year which translates to 15,000+ accidents each day. Those statistics should be enough to make everyone want to consider extra safety precautions for their vehicles. Wildlife and off-road debris happen to be something that I encounter often and want protection from, and I know many of you feel the same way based on the comments you've left us previously, talking about your experiences with hitting deer, cows and other wildlife. While protection from these wildlife elements is important, Ranch Hand products also put an extra layer of security between your vehicle, its occupants and other drivers, while you're traveling on the pavement. Jerry Courtney, VP of Marketing for Ranch Hand, joins us this week for an in-depth look at the safety Ranch Hand grille guards, front bumpers and back bumpers provide.

The 2018 Ford-150 is the Motor Trend Truck of the Year and has been the No. 1 selling vehicle in America for 36 years. Even more amazing – last year Ford sold an F-150 almost every 35 seconds. Clearly, I’m not the only one with an affinity for Ford Trucks and specifically the F-150.
Now, the first ever, F-150 diesel is making its debut, turning heads and raising eyebrows. Joining us this week to show off this brand-new beast is Travis Calhoun, the F-150 Consumer Marketing Manager at Ford. For all those drivers out there, who are looking for fuel economy while they tow and haul, you are going to be pumped! So, for you outdoorsmen and women who are pulling your boats and campers regularly, or for those people out there that make their living on the road, hauling and towing several days a week, this should speak to you.
Prepare for loads of awesome coming your way because Yamaha just released some brand new 2019 offerings and Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and Side-by-Side Marketing Manager, is here to unpack it all for us!
I feel like I need a drumroll here to build your anticipation, so do me a favor and pretend. Introducing the Wolverine X2 the newest member of the Wolverine family. This 2019 Wolverine X2 isn’t just a 2-seat version of the wildly popular Wolverine X4, it’s more compact and nimble which make it well equipped to take on tight trails with ease. In addition, it’s also built to work. A 600-pound capacity dump box and 2000 lb tow rating really drive home the working capability of this X2 and meet the demands of more buyers as it allows drivers to load and haul a tremendous amount of cargo and off-load it with ease.
Hunting participation is at an all-time low. Who's to blame, and how can we fit it?
There has been some panic recently about the decline in hunter participation, as if it happened overnight. People are suddenly opening their eyes to the real and negative consequences that are coming down the pike due to fewer hunters in the field each season. I’ve been sounding this alarm for the last few years, and if you didn’t see it coming, then you’ve had your blinders on. A survey from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says that only 5% of Americans, 16 years and older, actually hunt. That number is half of what it was 50 years ago, and it's only expected to decline further in the next 10 years.
